Finally, a bench piece that can't hit.
Something serious must’ve happened to Adrianza.
I see this guy was a consensus top 10 prospect a few years ago. I guess this is a high upside play?
He made some promising strides in the short season but given the rest of his track record Id assume that was more of a sample size thing. Maybe Seitzer sees something. I can’t imagine the 2 pitchers we gave up were worth much.
More of a "OMG we can't have Camargo be the backup SS" play.Originally Posted by CyYoung31
FWIW, the way I understood it was that Adrianza was just having to wait out COVID protocols since he'd been away from the team.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

Heyman says we're giving up two pitchers. Maybe one of Sobotka or Weigel would be involved to clear some 40 man space?
Edwards and Arcia would certainly be an upgrade from Sobotka and Camargo.

Good call. It’s actually both of them.

I like this move a lot, depending on cost. He's exactly the sort of back-up SS I wanted a month ago. Good defender and the bat is probably better than most would expect from a backup SS. If he hits anything like he did last year, he's a fantastic bench piece.
Probably too optimistic, but I hope Luke Jackson is one of the 2 pitchers going the other way.
If he can even hit at his career averages, he is an upgrade over Hech/Camargo from 2020.

But they got two non-impact guys. We only got one.
nailed it.
i’m good with this trade.

Sobotka is Sobotka, but I’m just a tiny bit surprised they’re giving up on Weigel without ever really giving him a shot.
Either way, not a bad avenue to consolidate two fringe-40-man guys into a single less-fringy guy.

Remember last year?
If only AA could follow this up with a deal to add a legitimate 4th OF bat (while giving nothing up) and making Ender the 26th man when we go to a 5 man benc/5 man rotation/10 man pen I'd be pretty happy for a while.
Actually, I'll rephrase - GO SIGN REDDICK!!!

Everyone knows ender wait till it warms up to hit. He'll be serving LDs to LF in no time, or maybe he won't... my crystal ball is a little fuzzy
Vaguely. Which part?

I'll rephrase this one too...
Edwards, Arcia, and Webb would certainly be an upgrade from Sobotka, Camargo, and Newk.
