I’m not trading Mayo for Bednar

Neither are the Os. This 100% never happened.

I do hope we are asking about Bednar though.

You and the Pirates evidently have that in common.

But I’m smart and their dumb

 

Honestly, I don’t think Elias would offer that even straight up

[G54377]

Orioles trade: Mac Horvath, Jud Fabian, Alex Pham

Cubs trade: Jameson Taillon and eat 1/2 of remaining salary. (Orioles pay $9 million/year for 25,26)

 

Yay/Nay?

In this scarce starting pitching trade market, with more mouths than meals, I think they could probably do better from somebody if they are eating that much salary.

This is one time that I kind of don't like having the internet and have learned and followed all out minor leaguers for so many years.  I have been reading stuff on Mayo for four years.  It makes me nervous at the trade deadline about losing a guy I am fond of. 

Before the year 2000 I never really knew anything about what we had in the minors.  We might occasionally hear something once in a while but not much.  So when a trade for a MLB player for a bunch of minor league guys always felt painless.

No not so much.  

The Bradish, Means injuries are going to cost us a blue chip prospect we probably never would of traded.  It kind of sucks.

I think a number of teams will be in on Taillon. So this trade probably wont be enough for the Cub's.

This could have been last year when Bednar was an elite closer with 4 years of control and Mayo was more of 25-40 prospect.

In a post where he says “I’m smart…” that’s hilarious.  And yes, I was tempted to spell where “were.”

All this trade talk made me realize the Giants get back Robbie Ray tonight, and are +18,000(DK) to win the WS.  Their current rotation is Webb, Snell, Hicks, Harrison, and Ray.

I guess you can't fault the Pirates for trying to sell high on a reliever. Still....no.

And when Bednar wasn’t hurt.
