Trade Deadline

[JPatera76]

Why are you such a whinny bitch? Getting X player is exactly why we don't make the playoffs. I didn't think it was really that hard to figure out. But ya jerry is a genius. He traded for guys he should have traded for or kept before the season even started. But why do that when you can try and cling onto the last wildcard team.

Chill out on the name calling.

Great trade deadline. I'll take it. When we calling up Montero and Arroyo?
Mastroboni is back. Ben's back in the minors. Tonight's game.......

Red Sox trying to get Joe Ryan. So the M's couldnt use him in the rotation? He would probably be their best guy right now. No Dhuran or any of the dozens of other relievers who were moved? The M's aren't serious. Picking up Geno was for marketing & vibes. Naylor was the "see we tried"..... They could've had him all season if they were serious in the off-season, but they weren't & it appears they aren't now. Not unless the grab a legit arm in the next 2 mins.

Ya picking up the two best bats on the market is just silly.

Pretty solid trade deadline.

We probably got the two best bats.

Dont think we added enough in the bullpen but we’ll see. I think we have the guys to get us through the regular season, and once playoffs begin, a starter or two will be moved to the bullpen.

The issue is everyone we are competing with made big upgrades too. Should be an interesting finish to the season.

I wanted another reliever. It seemed doable. But oh well. They made up a bit for their last two bungling off seasons and gave the team a shot in the arm. Better late than never.

Seems like they should have sent Cole Young down and kept Williamson.

Mariners kept all their top shelf items. Awesome that dude was hitting 1.000 in AAA so we could trade him for top dollar. Are we done? Cause we can still do some damage

Nobody said that. They CLEARLY have pitching issues also & EVERYBODY knows this.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Santos is close to returning, could be one reason why they didn't add more to the bullpen. But I agree, they should have added a high end reliever, especially since they didn't have to give up much for either Naylor or Suarez.

The two playing at the same time is probably not a solution.

 

[Sperrydogg]

Why can’t we have aroldis Chapman?

Santos being good would be huge

Santos being good would be huge

But is he even that good? And can he stay healthy? We will know soon.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Goldy is on 710 right now saying that the M's made a HUGE push to get Duran before Philly swooped him up.

Santos availability has been horrible, you can't count on him for
nothing since he's been here.

He's like a mop-up guy at this point. Next season could be different if he starts healthy.

I'm not counting on him at all ever.. Glass Santos

I'm absolutely not either. I'm just saying his role IF he ever gets back, is up or down a bunch of runs.
