One potentially Brave-related angle is that Zobrist will not be attached to a draft pick this off-season. I think he is a potential target for us.
Found our future RH power bat.
@Ken_Rosenthal: Tulo gone. CarGo likely next. And Arenado’s remarks to Denver Post make him even more unlikely for extension. Boras client, free after ’18.
Finnegan looks like a RP though and neither Fin nor Manaea were in the BA midseason top 50.

Hart and Doug Melvin wanting to get blown so bad this deadline.

Have to defer to Papelbon's leadership.
Clutchness. And there is one more.
Fun fact: When I was 10, I used to get Hart and Melvin confused because of the Texas Rangers thing.
