it's fine

 

a coup?

 

a backup C (maybe) and maybe our 2nd best reliever (maybe)

 

it's fine. it's also boring. definitely not a coup. DEFINITELY not a horsefeathering coup.

I would be fine with Wilson. Gives us a pen of Davis, Edwards, Strop, Wilson, Rondon, Monty, Grimm, Uehara. Grimm gets optioned until we need him, Monty can slide into the rotation if injury without leaving a LHP hole in pen.

 

I wouldn't hate Verlander and it would certainly be "fun" to see an awkward scenario where the 2016 ERA leader doesn't have a spot in the postseason rotation but I'm fine with where the rotation is at right now and if Darvish isn't feasible in the offseason chances are Verlander is still an option for trade.

Montgomery was pretty boring acquisition too.

Here's another Sean Sears blockbuster scoop:

 

 

Was your source Rosenthal with your imagination adding the Avila part?

I am not going to be thrilled either

[David]

i'm holding out hope that the more names come out the more it's us caving what little bit we didn't want to cave on verlander

[Aaron_Kennelly]

I'd be fine with it. I'm all for trading every prospect, so basically any trade that improves the team would make me happy. He's a lefty that throws hard and misses bats. He helps get the ball to Wade. He makes the 'pen incredibly deep and really good. Can't have enough 'pen arms. If Avila is added, even better.

 

It makes a lot of sense to shop for that package. I'd still like another starter, but if it's not such a big concern as it was two weeks ago, or even a week ago.
