I still think we trade for a late inning reliever and one with control. Our 2020 under contract pen is looking like Jackson, Minter, and Webb right now. I'm thinking Newk either gets another shot in the rotation or another team is willing to trade for him and give him 30 starts.
I’d do that everyday. Add Wright and see if you could get Marte. Just saw where the Mets are less likely to trade Thor now and that the Pirates are really listening on Vazquez. If AA trades any of our best prospects it’ll be for somebody controllable and Vazquez is just that.

I wonder if it'd be possible to get Vasquez without any of our big three. If it is, I'd probably do it. Something like Wright and Contreras as the start of the package?
The Dodgers have been linked a lot, but they've said they won't give up Lux in a deal.
I would likely give up a decent package for Vazquez. One that would sting. The big 3 for me are off limits at this point.

The Puig-Bauer-Trammell trade is epicly good for Cleveland. Not so good for the other two teams.

I like it for SD... got rid of a bad defensive OFer who is likely more suited for DH duty, helped their OF log jam. Sure they got rid of Allen but he looks about like Aaron Blair to me. Also one rookie ball wild card that will likely be nothing. They get back a much better prospect than all of them in Trammel. I think it boosted their farm even more. Hard to see the bad for them.
Franmil Reyes is going from a pitcher's park to a hitter's park. Should be interesting.

The 2 biggest chips to fall have been Bauer and Stroman and they both went to non contending teams. Hopefully the dam will break after lunch and we’ll see some of these teams give in.
