Galvis has shown that he can field multiple infield positions at a major league level. Has a below average ML bat. Thought that should be worth more than one AA pitching prospect. But that what the Phillies were willing to let him go for. NBD.
Are you a Phils fan cantstandya?
Evan Longoria traded to the Giants
Wade Davis - 3/$52m from the Rockies, who also shelled out 3/$27m each for Jake McGee and Bryan Shaw earlier this Fall. Woof.
I was hoping the Braves would step up and get him. Riley is projected to be a couple of years off so Longoria could serve until Riley was ready. with a trade of Longoria happening then.
Would’ve been a stupid trade for braves especially with us not really looking to compete this year. Riley will be ready mid 2019. And if we don’t think he’s the solution, hold out for somebody next offseason. We have ~$80 million free next winter. Sign Frazier or somebody as a 1 year gap
So, are you in favoring of keeping Acuna in Triple A until May whatever to tie him up for an additional season? Maybe I'm being too optimistic but I can see the Braves as a wild card team (at least if Swanson doesn't stink it up again).
How tough must it be for Pittsburgh fans this week?? First, they get beat by the Jags in a game they played their hearts out (at lest on O), but with a coaching staff that had to have made some of the biggest mistakes of the playoffs. Then, their baseball team trades one of my favorite players, McCutchen, to the Giants for absolutely nothing and Cole to the Astros. I would be so pissed right now! I'm also pissed that the Phillies didn't get both one or both of those dudes.
McClutch has slipped a bit the last two years, but I would gamble that he still has some gas in the tank. Tampa, Florida, & Pitsburgh are really screwing their fans.
