    Yeah except the ideal outfield will be: Mancini - Tucker - Brantley

    Why do people keep saying this? He's not playing CF. McCormick and Meyers will have to platoon at CF for the rest of the season.

    Never said he was going to play CF. They will move Tuck to center. He is a clear upgrade at the plate.

    Murray might be an X factor in this deal. He has pitched really well everywhere he's been in the minors. Sub 1.00 WHIP, an ERA way under 3, a K per inning.

    You're forgetting our fastest player on the team Brantley playing CF, who never gets injured and can scale the wall to rob homerun.... oh nvm... this joke isn't even funny is it :(

    Did Click draft this guy? Could be an interesting get. I like how this 3 team trade was orchestrated. Not easy to do in baseball.

    They will NOT bench Yuli. So something's gotta give.

    Mancini can play Left in Houston or Boston and that’s about it.

    Wonder if we DH him and more Yordan to left, or if Gurriel is knocked out of the lineup entirely?

    Brett Phillips DFA around the same time Hader traded to the Padres... Someone wants to erase that trade history from the books.
