We added Wells to the bullpen, and possibly Hall (if he comes around).  I don't think Wells sees another start unless there's an injury....and even then, I think Irvin is next man up.  Just watch......Wells will be relieving at Bowle.....that's my uneducated prediction.

Wells is in the bullpen?

I thought he was in the minors?

Now I'm all confused.

I’m still holding out hope it will be announced that Mateo is part of the deal too

Due to yielding a higher EV, I wonder?  Or are the Cardinals just defensively inept outside of Arenado?

Cardinals are 28th in Defensive Runs Saved. So maybe he gets better in Baltimore just having a good defense behind him?

Just don't let them hit balls to Frazier or Cowser.

Their #1 and 4 is not our #1 and 4.

I understand this. Would you have given up Mayo or Norby for Verlander?

Did we improve the team any?

Defense and the wall.

Not apples to apples here. The Astros number one prospect is equalish to both Norby and Mayo. So it would be one of them and a Beavers/Basallo.

I haven't seen them have any guy rated as high as Mayo on most list. On some top 100 list (updated after draft) they have no players listed. Look at their top guys stats this season and compare to Mayo. Not even in the same league.

We didn't subtract from it...

You do know that there is ABSOLUTELY ZERO EQUIVALENCY between our number 1 and 4 prospects and the Astros? 

The Astros don't have a prospect close to the range of being rated within FIFTY PLAYERS of Jackson Holliday.

And where did you get that Dylan Beavers was our #4 rated prospect?

I meant Kjerstad.

[Hank Scorpio]

I wish he wasn’t a rental.

My guess is they probably preferred Rodriguez but the price was higher there.

 I’m coming around on the deal.

This trade went from okay to meh to sucks in 10 minutes. 
 

ARE WE THROWING IN ANYONE ELSE FOR FLAHERTY OR ARE WE ****ING DONE?!?!?

Combine this with the post about 100 pages ago that said there is more leaking to encourage movement and I’m loving the bathroom connotations!

You think Flaherty is worse than Irvin? Wild. This absolutely helps stabilize the rotation.
