The Rockies package for Neshek was headlined by their #21 prospect.

Way back when, Dan gave him to Oakland for the consideration of cash.

Well this doesn't bode well for the packages we could get back for brach or britton

Pretty sure that several argued that the trade value would decrease as the deadline approached.

A buddy of mine that lives in Colorado and a Rockies fan said that the local Rockies media is saying Rockies and Orioles are discussing a combine deal of Brach and Castillo going to the Rockies.  He says it would be a package around Ryan McMahon.

I'd love to see a bidding war between Colorado and Milwaukee for Smith, Castillo and potentially Brach.

I don't think DD will trade anyone not named Seth Smith. I think he will be the only piece to be dealt.

Brewers need a catcher with a good bat. Castillo should net us more due to him having an option for next year.

Manny Pina is killing it. .303/.347/.468

Honestly, if that's the type of return we would get for Brach (think it'd be better, but still that deal is underwhelming) that the Phillies just got for Neshek than im not sure its worth it. Gomez is ok. Hammer may be a solid pen piece, but man.

There is a reason Vogt replaced him. Wheter it's defense or not, I couldn't tell you

I mean, Vogt has been an all-star past couple years. Had a rough first half but they were smart to claim the guy. He was very good in Oakland up until this year.

I thought Philly was going to rob Colorado.

With him being on the DL, and Pina hitting like he has; do the Brewers trade for Castillo or Avilla? Looking at his numbers, he's having a career year with the mit and the bat at age 30. This guy looks like a 2014 Steve Pearce type.

Colorado could use a catcher. Wolters is ok with the bat, but apparently a tire fire at defense. Castillo could be in colorado. Same with Smith.

Neither. Roll with Pina who is playing well and Vogt comes back before long. They're fine.

That's what I was afraid of. Milwaukee could use a BP piece with the cubs right on their heels. Potential there?
