Bet scoreboard...
Gausman (enscheff): 1.2 fWAR
Bumgarner (me): 2.8 - 0.2 = 2.6 fWAR
what are the chances someone like Pence would get to Atlanta on outright waivers? i'm sure DeShields would be claimed before he made it to Atlanta, but a little speed and defense off the bench would be nice too.

I can't believe people STILL think Bumgarner is an ace. It's appalling.
Not sure anyone thinks he is an ace anymore. Not seriously. But he was better than some of the options we have been throwing. That said he wasn’t getting traded this season anyway so all moot. We can just laugh at both the giants and the Mutts in October for thinking they had a shot after beating up on crappy teams.

Agreed on one year deals. But the comparison was cashing out those values at the trade deadline or waiting for a QO. Pitching is risky. Aging pitching is riskier. Taking the prospect now seemed like a wiser move imo. Sure you can get a good player on a one year deal. But a non competitive team doesn’t need a good player on a one year deal. Not when they could have already traded them. I doubt they are more valuable next trade deadline.
