Lots of moves after the game including a signing of an old friend, a trade, and two DFAs.

I thought Harvey had a tired arm?

Why give up a prospect for mediocre 28 year old like Erlin in what is clearly a lost season?

If you are already in the pen at 17 do you count as a prospect?

They traded a body in the low minors for a body that can eat a few innings.

I didn't consider him a prospect really. Erlin was DFA'd so I claimed him but the Cubs trumped my claim with their own claim.

I then sent a trade request and asked what they wanted. For some reason this guy popped up. I looked over his numbers and his one and half star potential and sent him on the way for a guy that may be able to eat some innings here and there.
