    Could certainly move the needle in the playoffs if they make them

    If true, and if healthy...

    Would have to be for someone pretty big I would think, considering Bloss is one of Dana's guys

    And it makes no sense to trade a SP unless multiple guys (2 SP or a SP + other) are brought in.

    As pointed out, are there better options? Yes.
    Will we be able to acquire one of these better options? Who's to say. There's not too many options.

    This doesn't change the fact that we desperately need a reliable SP who can eat innings and Anderson would certainly do this and he'd be a huge upgrade for us at the bottom of our rotation.

    Nobody here has been trying to portray Anderson as a TOR pitcher. For some idiotic reason IdStrosfan keeps trying to turn the discussion into something it was never intended to be. If we can't get Snell, or Flaherty, or Crochet or Gausman or Taillon (Fedde already off the board) we still need a reliable SP and Anderson definitely fits that description.

    Eh- it makes total sense. He’s not part of any kind of workable rotation in 24. If we got a legit and bonafide MLB pitcher we are fine until the end of the year provided we don’t lose more starters from the current rotation than we gain back from the IL.

    Skubal would make it far less painful, wouldn’t like losing him for a rental.

    Joking like this should be illegal.

    Skubal, Gausman or Snell (if Giants eat a portion of the money) are the only three potential deals I’d throw Bloss into the deal for.

    Edit forgot about Crochet

    Gotta be an impact player for Brown to part with his first draft pick to reach the majors on the day he’s supposed to pitch, essentially forfeiting a game.

    Probably too much to ask for it to be a bigger deal that includes Vlad.

    This joke is worse than the Skenes for Bloss joke from Ben Verlander. This is a joke, right? RIGHT??!??! :mad:
