Right now we’re the betting favorite to land him. 

Stuff is going to change over the next week or so.  There’s not much available right now. I’d like to see us get two SP. Kikuchi could fill one spot as a pure rental. Anderson or Fedde could fill the other spot as a guy with 1.5 seasons left. 

I have no problem getting him to eat some innings if we get him for basically nothing. But he is not going to move the needle.

Holderman would be intriguing. They could use a CF and a 1B.

All the talk is Skubal and he would be a great addition, but I'd like one of the Seattle pitchers almost as much.

Gilbert or Kirby for Mountcastle, Mullins (or whoever the Phillies send for him), Norby and Kremer.

I don't think we are trading away one of our 3 dependable starters. That would leave us still having two holes in the rotation.

Oh come on now, that wouldn't fit into the narrative of dumping every player they don't want on the team anymore.

I suggested before Mounty and Stowers for Bednar and Ashcraft.  Would really like to see a trade like that happen.

I’d like the latter two.

Apparently Coby Mayo is starting his 3rd straight game at 1B.  We can read whatever we may want in that but if his call up is inevitable it tells you they plan on playing him at 1B not 3rd.

I really think 

Fedde

rental bullpen arm (x2)

rental SP

 

Is the best way. We can stomach the downside of Kikuchi if he's the #4 in our rotation, for instance.

Ashcroft is out til mid September so not sure how he helps.

Fedde, Anderson, and Estevez, could be a nice deadline that doesn’t cost us any of the big 3, gives us a game 3 and 4 SPs, and gives us two guys for the rotation Next year. Plus we get a lefty if we want to matchup up in the playoffs.

Nevermind I was thinking you meant Graham Ashcraft as a rotation piece.

He’s not being acquired to help this year.

you really think people won't be starting threads on who to trade and sign in the offseason after every other lose??

Sure, but not 238 pages worth.
