DirtySox Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Probably worth a thread. Especially since James tweeted it. Also, Mahle is on the IL with a shoulder strain for those unaware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 The cool thing if they would have signed Schwarber is they would be a very similar team except instead of Gavin Sheets they'd have 25 more home runs 10 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Only way this makes sense is if they need to put Kopech on the shelf for a while due to workload. Even if that's the case, I'd almost rather take my chances with Davis Martin and use the resources to get a lefty bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything they should be selling. I'm hoping they do nothing because they won't sell. Edited July 7, 2022 by Jack Parkman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I mean he isn't a LH OF bat, but it still improves the team. I wouldn't be willing to count on all of the starters to have innings left in the 2nd half, let alone not get injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying he is good enough for the trade, but if a situation like last year arises and a trea turner type becomes available, you go for it because top position players are awesome and hard to get. But 'top pitcher on struggling team' is what I'd go after if we were comfortably in first. Honestly the Braves moves at the deadline make sense even if I don't think it would replicate near the success, but it allowed them to still go for it while not costing much of anything. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After last year and some interesting case studies I read about performance post trade, there might actually be something to dumpster diving at the trade deadline. I do agree that I don't want to trade a top prospect unless we are getting tons of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 So how much of the meager farm are they going to mortgage in a desperate attempt to go for it? Instead of addressing any of the root causes for their struggles? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
