Has to be a dupe …why we we trade for a pitcher in A+ ball that’s 25?

So you think we're acquiring Logan Gilbert instead of Logan Rinehart?

Rinehart is coming back from TJS this year, which helps to explain being 25 in high-A.. sort of. At least he's not struggling there.

Our trade deadline acquisition is a 25 year old reliever in A+, let's make this playoff push baby!!

We could just see if Chris Davis wants to come back.

Logan Rinehart is currently in High A. Is this the best that we can do to bolster our pitching staff?

He’s the shutdown closer for the Everett Aqua Sox, which sounds like something you’d wear to walk in a river, but is actually somehow the Mariners’ High A affiliate.

Fantastic numbers for the Aqua Sox. Bummer that he’s 25.

Elias and Sig did spend a really long time scouting that 2019 draft. I’m sure they’ve always liked this dude.

This is about clearing Bazardo off the 40? Otherwise why do it now?

To be fair, some of us are hoping we stand pat and make the moves that need to be made when cooler heads can prevail in the off-season.

Sure you can. Those moves are barely going to move the needle win-wise for those teams.  Hicks walks the yard, DeJong is a huge downgrade from Bichette. You don't make moves just because everyone else does, it has to make sense. We're in a great position as it is, we're going to the playoffs a year earlier than expected, I'd much rather they make the proper moves in the off-season and not off of panic mode/knee-jerk reactions to other teams making middling deals.

If I could give this post 10 upvotes I would.

Robert Murray just said on the live baseball insiders podcast he does not expect E Rod to end up with the Dodgers

Reading this and looking at his strikeout numbers in high A, I just picture Billy Madison dominating the little kids in dodge ball.
