Only 1? BIG news.

MASSIVE

So thats Whitcomb, Short and Hummel all replaces in the lineup. That will play.

Excuse me???

I told yall the Astros always are looking for relievers.

I feel a reliever trade coming. Rangers just paid a lot for Kelly (3 top 15 prospects). 15 minutes.

Ahh shit he’s teasing us.

Padres just completely cleaned out their farm system. They’re probably going to want Janek or someone very high in the system to replenish.

A lot of buzzer beaters here: Maton to Rangers Houser to Rays (interesting) Andujar to Reds. Lot of middle of the pack teams believing they can go for it.

Aaaaand TIME. Pencils and paper down! Turn in your trade agreements!

Give it about 15 more minutes. If they submitted the paperwork its all good to be announced later.

The Rays must really think they can go for it.

Arrighetti is coming back very soon. Would have liked to grab a reliever and if they had managed to get a Cease deal done thats great but it is what it is. They got bat upgrades so we can actually field a major league lineup again while hitters come back. Works for me.

Brice Matthews was not worth giving up for Cease and you cannot convince me otherwise.

So the lineup tomorrow could very well be: Walker 1B Altuve 2B Pena SS Correa 3B Diaz/Caratini C Sanchez LF Melton CF Smith RF Urias/Caratini DH That looks infinitely better than where we were just yesterday.

That will play.

That is CRAZY.

They wanted Brice and Spencer plus other prospects for a rental pitcher🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Preller is funny.

I know no one probably wants to have this conversation right now but health permitting, it would not shock me if Altuve started getting relegated to more DH starts after this year. Paredes, Pena, Correa, Walker as a defensive infield will work, and Sanchez can play LF.

The one thing I feel we missed out on at the deadline was a reliever. I think they got too focused and strung along with Cease that they missed an opportunity because Tampa Bay was looking to listen on Fairbanks. That could have been massive for this bullpen.
