Once again, what deadline starting pitcher trade are you comparing Crochet to, because no starter as good as him, as cheap as him, and with as many years of control as him was traded at the deadline. ??? It's almost like every GM logged in here and learned he wasn't going to finish the season. Then they learned he wasn't going to pitch post season without a long term contract. There are no deals. I see that as an indicator that the market was soft. Again, no one gave up a top 100 prospect. I get the cheap and control but that isn't helping teams this season. Deadline deals are typically to get teams deeper into the playoffs or even into the playoffs. He wasn't going to help with that. If you were a GM how much would you have given up for him? I would not have given up much at the trade deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No starter the quality of Crochet with a dirt cheap contract for 2.5 more seasons was traded at the deadline, period. You can’t compare apples to oranges.

But again what do you think Getz was offered? I have you my reasons why I don't think team's offered much. Never started a full season. Injury risks. Not interested in post season without an extension. No prospects getting moved for any player by any team. Deadline deals being used for the pennant race and post season not for cost and player control. Your reasons are all valid and why teams would be interested in the off season. Why trade and give up a roster spot for a guy that's likely not going to be pitching in September? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a top 100 prospect was offered, but that the offer still wasn’t good enough to Getz. Your argument was that a top 100 prospect wasn’t even offered. I disagree with that.
