2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

No dumb trades should be made, but tomorrow can't necessarily be counted on.

Try to compete, even if you consider this year to still be a rebuild year, y'all know the ole' adage of you have to learn to crawl before walking? The last 3 World Series champions got their feet wet in the playoffs before taking it all.
 
I remember wanting us to acquire lowrie. I look at the standings tonight, and the A's have 60 wins. They're having a sneaky good season. Currently 1.5 games out of wildcard
 
All we really need is a manager like Lou Brown and a cardboard cut out of our hated ownership. Then we strip away a piece of clothing off with every win that we need to make the playoffs.
 
Stras to the DL. If they post a clunker in Miami this weekend, could the Nats sell? Stranger things have happened...
 
The Nats had a big window with some really good players to win it all and they crapped the bed for the past 6-7 years.

The NL is wide open. I will be pisssd if we do nothing. I'm not saying trade soroka, Pache, Riley, etc, but we have plenty of talent to upgrade the Atlanta team. AA can stop being stupid and take a rental. Who knows what will happen next year? If you keep playing for the future, it may never get here.

We have guys that need traded with the 40 man log jam on the horizon. Peterson, Demeritte, Wisler, Sims type guys. Making moves with guys who are MLB ready, but do not have a place on our team is good and needs to happen. Wisler would be a great #5 for a team with a budget for example.

I really dont want to see any major prospects moved at the deadline. The price is ALWAYS higher. We don’t need to pay a contenders premium, when realistically....we are not contenders (we are over achievers).

The core is in place but you are not going to give him credit for the small pieces that have us where we are. Annabell, Tucker, Brandon early on, BiLE early on. Small things like that help a team that is growing.

in retrospect their best chance was when they made the playoffs that first year ahead of schedule

Maybe. That’s not the case for us though. The AL is stacked this year. I’m not confident that we would win more than one game in a seven game series. Two tops.
