>The White Sox had extensive talks with the Dodgers, but Crochet stayed put when the Sox rejected the Dodgers’ final proposal. The Dodgers pivoted and landed Tigers starter Jack Flaherty.
The White Sox did what the White Sox do best: shit the bed
oh my god anyone who thought the Padres won this deadline is such an idiot when it comes to baseball
tried the hardest and did the most doesn’t mean you won
how the fuck can you write « they traded away 12 of their top 15 prospects » in the same 3 sentence blurb you talk about how they got an all star closer. as if that one dude is gonna, ever, be worth the insane haul they gave miami for him?
if you give up so much more than you get, you are a loser on deadline day. i’m sorry. they threw spaghetti at the wall, but it was the only spaghetti they had in the house and there’s no more food they can get to and they didn’t realize how hungry they’re gonna be in the future
I think Getz is too close to his players having worked on the farm system side. The Crochet request for having an extension to pitch in the postseason turned a lot of teams off. Crochet pitched 12 innings last year and had not throw more than 54 so asking for an extension to an unknown only leaving the Dodgers who can afford anyone. Getz doesn’t see much value dropping 2 months off and he might get the same return anyways.
Not in the Winners section, not in the Losers section… somewhere in between.
Very representative of the Angels haha
I don’t really get what either Chicago baseball team was doing yesterday to be honest.
The Flarhety trade still blows my mind.
> The Chicago Cubs didn’t unload veteran starter James Taillon
Boob does it again, very cool, thank you.
The White Sox’s awful deadline is getting the headlines, but the Reds decision to hold onto most of their rentals was almost as bizarre.
The Reds entered the deadline as sellers and wanted to trade expiring contracts, specifically relievers. They wound up trading away Frankie Montas and Lucas Sims, keeping Nick Martinez, Buck Farmer, and Justin Wilson. They *acquired* rental reliever Jakob Junis.
After the deadline, Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall went on the record saying that they could have easily traded 4 more relievers alone, but he wanted to « give the team a chance » at the postseason. The Reds have 3 relievers on the IL scheduled to return this season, 3 relievers at AAA that are major league caliber and waiting callup, and most of their bullpen is out of options, so they’ll need to DFA major league-caliber arms later this season.
Just absolutely bizarre.
Angels were easily in the top 2 losers with CHW, leaving them totally off the list is wild
They held all but two of their moveable pieces and their plan is to mostly run it back with this 64 win team they have now, they’re going to challenge the 20+ year no playoff run year Seattle just had
I’m not mad. I’ll say that. I might even have a glimmer of something I think people call “hope.” It’s a feeling I’m not familiar with, though, so I might have it wrong.
