Its a shame. Expand I will 100% agree with this if very little happens before the deadline tomorrow. But the sentiment seems to always have been here that it wasn't necessary to make any strong moves or give Rodon a break and that the future means more than this year. I have been somewhat scathing arguing that the words put forth by Hahn and the previous actions of Reindorf always promises a better tomorrow while ignoring the present and for some unknown reason many here trust them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand We are so afraid of trading away significant pieces due to what happened to the Cubs’ window as a result of the Chapman and Q trades that we’re just kind of stuck in limbo…just like our managerial situation. Easier to blame injuries or youth/inexperienced than front office mistakes. Buys them another year. They’ll probably hint at signing a Verlander and pretty much stand pat in the offseason and call the Lynn extension their big move for next year, along with Kopech joining the rotation.

Dream big! Expand I haven't really considered catcher among our more pressing needs but this is a good idea. Of course he just was reinstated after an IL stint for an oblique injury so there's the build in meds excuse right there. However he is considered a very good defensive catcher. He's RH and hits LHP better than RHP pitching but definitely an upgrade on Collins (-3 fWAR) who you wouldn't want to see in a playoff game catching our starters or relievers the rest of the season for that matter. Whatever helps our pitchers the most should matter a lot. There probably won't be a lot of competition for him. I only see the A's and Jays listed in MLBTraderumors.
