Red Sox getting Dustin May

Padres getting Nestor Cortes.

Mad dash to the finish line.

That good for Cubs getting Ryan or Gore

🤷‍♂️

Is that gonna be the swan song? We couldn't afford to compete?

Nah, there's 100% a SP coming. If they're actually any good is tbd.

[BKHoo]

Wow this is getting interesting.  Where does Ryan end up?

[mul21]

1. I'd bet Berti is on the postseason roster over Ballesteros because baserunning can be at a real premium then.

2. Red Sox getting May gives me more hope on Ryan.

Brewers trading Cortes is weird, right about to come back from injury

He's traded for some pretty good talent and the team is on its way to 95 wins. Let's wait till October to declare a swan song coming. 

I would place the Cubs chances at winning it all with the roster as is at under 5%

[Tryptamine]

Come on Jed, you're so close to a good TDL, just finish it up.

So, I'm not really sure why unless they're pushing Soroka to a SP now and if so fml.

Neither of these guys needs to be traded. And my guess is neither will. Hope I'm wrong. We should swing back for Gallen.

I'm 100% okay with the Castro trade. Armstrong was Gallagher a year ago. Gallagher is a popup. I'm fine.

Yeah... Six weeks ago I barely knew who Gallagher was. Will miss him a little bit now, though... Good trade; filled a big need.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Maybe the deal for the big SP requires some MLB arm going out. That one doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Though maybe he's comparable to Thielbar?

[Neuby]

Just a warm arm with a pulse at this point  Charlie Morton or Justin Verlander even

 

[KCCub]

Come on Jed. Maybe Cease is moved last second now that they got Cortes

[17 Seconds]

remember when we joked about how the best pitcher they got would be houser

[731.4life]

Marlins have a good rotation: Alcantara, Weathers, Cabrera, and Perez. Yeesh
