Glad we didn't make a similar trade.
If you factor in framing, I think you could maybe be a little more aggressive than that. WARP had Flowers at 2.9 last year in just 82 games and I think a healthy McCann could reasonably be expected to put up another win or two. If going by WARP, my guess would be about 3.5-4.5 collectively
Good, someone else overpaid for Realmuto. He wasn't a significant enough upgrade over what we have to justify that in my opinion. An OF would be, but not catcher.

Ha to all you who thought AA has the balls to do anything.
Coppy
So MLB is renaming the disabled list the injury list because they believe there it causes a misconception that disabled people are injured and can't participate in sports.
I saw this on Twitter and thought it was an Onion article until I saw it was from ESPN.
Well- to be fair, I think most folks are glad AA didn’t do anything totally dumb here. While it may not look “ballsy,” this is a long long process, and there is certainly no reason to overpay - which in my opinion Philly just did, and anything more than Riley (which would have pissed me off- I think he’s a stud and our future 3B in ‘20 when **** gets real) was even worse.
Sorry for length- to sum: good for fish - kinda. Bad for philly. Great for us.
Haniger Time?

Castelanos for me. If he doesn't work out trade him at the deadline. If he does,we have our DH for next yr. Might as well sign Kimbrel too.
I like clv's idea of gio and marwin.
