Yeah I don't even consider him a candidate. Just let him eat 5 innings (good or bad) every 5 days to get you through this misery.

Fedde does ultimately seem like a Cardinals pitcher.

They did give up Yordan Alvarez to the Astros which was a huge misstep, but overall yeah they don't trade away too much. Most of their position players are free agent signings, too. So not entirely sure at how well they develop position players.

In the Sox defense, they gave up Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly in that deal.

We don't know what deals are actually "trying" to get done, though. The ones that for sure have to happen is Fedde, Kopech, Brebbia, Pham, Dejong - which the final two are just lotto tickets. You'd be selling low on Robert right now, and who knows what happened with Crochet after this all came out. I think you can get Fedde, Kopech, Brebbia, Pham and Dejong done in the next 36 hours or whatever it is.

Wonder what else could be involved in that three team trade? Could be a big one.

Yeah Eloy seems unteachable to me.

How much control does he have left? Sporttrac not loading for me.

But don't you think someone nationally would have caught wind of it?

I always assumed Mariners fans would be nicer.

It would not end my fandom, though. And even with Tendi possibly attached I think they would get at least one and a half “guys” back. It would just suck because they should be getting at least 3 good pieces.

Because my dad didn’t raise a Cubs fan.

Yeah I just have a hard time believing it. I think one of the big reporters would have caught wind of it by now.

Nah. I consider myself a Getz supporter and I’d be pretty mad about it.

I don't think Robert or Crochet are being moved, so outside of Fedde the rest should be able to get done fairly quickly. Be nice if one or two happened tonight, though.

Please just fire Grifol. Make that part of my life over at least.

If Seattle was interested in Robert before, I'm sure they aren't now.

Dropped out when the extension stuff came out? And I wouldn't give up anything for Robert right now, either. He just hasn't been as advertised outside of last year. And that doesn't even take into account injury concerns.

Let's pretend Fedde, Crochet, Robert get traded. I think I would be okay with ONE of them being pitching heavy as long as the other two are position heavy. And I hope the Pham/Kopech moves are position as well.

No. I’m not the one live journaling about picking a new team.

Go be a Mariners fan already.

He also got real excited for Roberts fly out that didn’t make the warning track.

I would never trade with the Rays. They always win it.

He hasn’t been great but he’s getting screwed on defense and a few weak hits.

Grifol still being around through all of this is quite insane.
