They’ll ask just like teams will ask for Pache and Anderson. For a guy like Thor they wanna say they got the other teams best guy and for us and the Pads it’s not the same as if they were talking to another team with lesser prospects as their top guy. Either way I just wanna get a few players that will help us make a deep run in the playoffs and I think AA is targeting guys that will help this year and next.

Olney just said we are not close for Wheeler or Sugar.
Fire AA if nothing happens.

DK makes our rotation needs less dire. Our pen, on the other hand, is still an absolute mess. Not getting anyone for the pen in the offseason was a failure. Not adding some arms before the deadline would be criminal.
That being said, I expect we'll add a pen arm or two.
We still need another rotation arm to me. DK and Soroka are the only two pitchers i trust in a playoff series right now if we can hold off the Nats.
And pretty much all the big money BP arms have flopped, but obviously we need a BP arm or two. And Feisand said we're active looking for an outfielder.
To me, we need all 3 of SP/BP/OF help. Whether AA does all of that, i dunno.
