Keller is the one I don't get. The Twins have a weird ownership situation, the Nats have an unsettled FO, and the Marlins could strike gold this offseason if Cabrera and Alcantara end the year healthy. The Pirates? Keller is a decent controllable starter on a horsefeathers team that has zero hope of competing in the next two years and his value will only decline. What the hell are they doing?

TFW your division rival makes the moves you should have made at the deadline.
-
Show's over, folks. Nothing to see here.
-
Hasn't been made official and the rumblings on social media is it's not done.
-
By my count, the big SPs who were targets this deadline who were not moved are: Cease, Keller, Ryan, Gore, Cabrera, Alcantara, Gallen Anyone else I'm missing?
-
The number of starting pitchers staying put is kinda insane, if this holds up.
-
Cripes, this deadline has been ludicrously expensive.
-
As is, we have marginal upgrades on the bench, in the pen, and maaaaybe the rotation if Soroka is going to start.
-
The next hour is going to suuuuuuuuck.
-
Someone check imb's heroin into forehead status.
-
Skenes, duh.
-
Neither projects as an ace, but both have had intriguing enough seasons to be possible back end of the rotation types.
-
Welcome!
-
Do it all guy who isn't crap at the plate and can give half the position players a breather when needed. He's not a starter, but he's an immediate upgrade over Berti by a country mile.
-
It's still good, it's still good!
-
It's also well within the realm of possibility that Jed put a bunch of take it or leave it offers on the table for teams like the Twins and Nationals which won't be withdrawn until the deadline. Maybe Minnesota and Washington are shopping around trying to get better deals for Gore/Ryan, but if those offers are open, all it will take is a phone call to make it happen.

Cam Smith? 🤷♂️

A-Ram!! A-Ram!!!!!

You know the old saying, if you truly love something with a degenerative ankle issue, let it go, because man, it can't walk far with that kind of a limp.
-
What the whaaaaaaaaaaat
-
The Rockies are notorious for keeping quiet at the deadline. The fact that they traded McMahon was kinda surprising.
-
I feel like catcher has been the Pirates' white whale for at least the last two decades.
-
Perhaps, but he's begging for future knee/hip trouble if he's a full time catcher at his current weight.
-
Nah. Bally is the sort of prospect who would be a hard pass for teams that value athleticism and defense. He should have a productive career, but his value plummets if you see him as a full time DH. I'd also take these "X team would NEVER trade this prospect!" statements with a grain of salt.

See: 2004 and Nomar Garciaparra
