Clearly because they're trading for Realmuto.

Not willing to say this is the case, but do think these are the only types of deals AA is looking at at this point.

Thrilled to death that AA didn't play on Machado or Britton personally (at least without getting the chance to secure extensions). We all want to win now, but I'm more than happy with him seeing what the current crowd can do unless a steal falls into his lap and throwing money at people this winter. The Brewers are in trouble given their pitching situation, and there's a non-zero chance this team can back into a wildcard as it's currently constructed.

None of the arms have done anything to hurt their value so far (and AA has probably seen enough to have made his choices about who to keep), so if you're going to shop them in any trade involving anything other than a Realmuto/Archer/deGrom/Iglesias/etc. type of obvious and controllable upgrade - just cool your jets.
 
Kyle Wright has thrown 7 innings of one run ball so far.

His team has been one-hit.

Now 8 fantastic innings for Wright.

Feeling really good about Wright and Toussaint! Reading these thread updates really helps for a one stop shop but after I saw them on tv the other week you just get a different feel after actually getting to see the guys even though it was short outings in an All-Star game.

I like Touki a lot but at this point in time pedigree still matters for Wright

Touki has none? Lol...I think they are both a matter of taste, but everyone knew Touki had talent. Raw but pure stuff. If he had grown up playing ball instead of a late start and followed the same path as Wright, it would be interesting to see where he would have gone on the draft.

Touki doesn't have '#5 overall 12 months ago' attached to him like Wright does. So yes that still carries weight.
 
So how long until Wright is promoted to AAA? August? I feel great about the possibility of a Folty, Newk, Soroka, Gohora, Touki, Wright rotation options for next year.

so you are saying you don't want to extend them as well as keep JT..

Technically McCarthy has a option I think, but that would be a NO on him. Maybe Sanchez?....let’s see if he can keep this up? I’m not sure he can have this success long term. Yes please, move Julio. He is just too inconsistent. At best a #5 if you don’t have better options, and I just listed a bunch of better options (not even counting guys like Allard and anyone we trade or sign for).
