Cobb has a blister issue. He was due back though.

Pillar and Ward still a possibility as RH OF.

But then again, as of this morning we were technically still looking for SP, RP, and RH OF. 

It's hard to imagine trading more pieces, especially any that qualify as depth. I'm going to assume we're done and be pleasantly surprised if we're not. 

I think Elias is still going to get another bullpen arm.

It feels pretty necessary to grab an OF with Hays, Stowers, and Norby unavailable for COF duty. 

I mean if Kjerstad busts an ankle tonight, who is replacing him on the 26-man exactly?

I don't know about done, but Stowers and Norby were our two biggest chips I thought Elias might expend, and they are now gone. As much as Elias has pivoted to trade from our top 5-10, he still hasn't shown any willingness to go all in with Mayo level guys, and in the long run that is a good thing.

2 hours 45 minutes and counting … Still need a reliever and a RH Left fielder

I think it would be a horrible mistake to count on Kjerstad to play a solid LF

Ward fits and he’s not a rental.

I guess? Vavra played LF a bunch for us a few years ago. 

I mean we really took a hammer to our COF depth. Which is fine, but probably going to need to grab someone.

Doesn't Cobb always seem to have a blister issue?

Back too. Probably just a move for a postseason option. A gamble they can afford in their crap division.

Chad Green and George Springer are at OPACY this hour....did David Rubenstein bring a large bag of money?

I thought Stowers for Scott might be the move. Now that Stowers is gone, who could we move that would be enough to get Scott?
