I thought that was a COVID exception and he wasn't staying on the 40....

Rich DuBroff tweets that Phillips fills the 40. But Stowers isn't on the 40, right? Why not make the no-brainer move and cal him up?

If the Orioles trade Cedric, the internet will erupt in anger and pitchforks.

Cmon O's, bail us out with a surprise Santander for Lopez trade.

My thoughts exactly. The whole point of trading Santander/Mancini is to get at bats for Diaz and Stowers. Phillips is a fun clubhouse guy, sure, but where are his at bats coming from? If we don't trade Santander, is he just taking McKenna's at bats?

seems like a trade of Santander, or Mullins/Hays (?) is afoot? Really don't get this one.

yes indeed.

Robertson to Phillies for their 27th prospect Ben Brown. I guess solid late inning relievers like Lopez/Robertson just aren't fetching much this deadline.

Agreed. Thought Lopez as a closer with a 99 mph sinker and controllability, had more value.

Sure, but not if they get crap packages for them like this trade.

Without knowing more, I absolutely would have held on to Lopez if this is the best they can get. Really waiting on an explanation here. Make it make sense..

UGH. What is this? You get a better return for 2 months of Mancini than multiple years of Lopez?

My pants were already off, oh well. Just because I am excited to see Diaz in the majors doesn't mean I am anti-Stowers, but sure.

Agreed.

Seth Johnson was the Rays #6 prospect. So Rays 6 and Astros 10. Not bad.

Astros Number 10 prospect...
