Who knew it was the 9th inning

That's what I was just wondering

It's underwhelming prospect wise because it is NVM I thought the Padres were shelling out money

Pretty underwhelming return

Nope

He's not in the top 50. He's just a long shot.

Tucupita is a top 10 guy. The rest is meh

I'm going to try hard to be nice but. There's been only what I can recall 2 trades so far. The deadline is next week. Why aren't you making a thread about the rest of the teams sitting idle? This is normal. If they do nothing then it's time to blast Rick Hahn with every insult possible. I have the same fear about them doing nothing but eh it's worth waiting to see.

This is like shining a bat light for Batman for me. This guy is the one if not the worst defensive catcher in the league and the unfortunate thing is his pitch framing is worse. There's no coincidence when he pitches the missed pitches are in 70 percent of his games. His DRS is what -12? His defensive war is negative 6 as of a week ago. Be one thing if he was just DHing. But for some reason the front office thought he would be suitable as a backup knowing full well that Grandal is a shoe in to go on the DL at some point during the season.

Oh well there we are in agreement. I'm not a fan of moving Kelley.

Frazier certainly can.

I don't see how selling two players that don't really have a spot on this team as hurting season 2 or 3. Burger is never going to replace Yoan at 3rd base.

You would think so but he's not slowing down at all. He just makes contact. It's really a perfect fit for what we need.

Personally I'd worry about next year this offseason. Get the best lineup you can on the field now and try to win.

Honestly I'd love to hear the screaming for the prospect pool given up for Frazier on here. But it would be worth every player given up.

better yet let's count the number of times you mention the Tigers

Probably not. But I would have zero remorse trading any of these guys. That includes Sheets. Yeah cool stories. Don't care I want better players.

Or to the Pirates for Adam Frazier. This guy isn't going to start with the Sox ever.

Burger is going to look good in a Pirates uniform

That was brutal

He has no chance here.

He's not going to. Look at the catching difference.

Hey pitch framing again
