WOW!!  I wonder if they are still in on Leake too.

Damn, the Dbacks gave up quite a bit for Miller. Glad we didn't net him if that's the kind of stuff the Braves were asking for.

How can Swanson be a part of this?

David Stewart is not a very good GM.

The same way Trea turner was part of a trade last season. I don't think he will be moved to his new organization until mid season. Unless they changed the rules.

Remember Trea Turner from last year?

Boy, the meatheads are howling about signing Zobrist and selling low on Castro. Without question, 5 months ago they wanted Castro run out of town on a rail.

They did change the rules.  Basically draft picks can now be traded at the end of the season in which they were drafted, but they can't be made PTBNLs in trades completed before that point in order to get around that deadline.

Got it. I remember the Turner deal, but wasn't aware of the rule change. Just seemed odd.

Zobrist is a good not great player. I don't understand why you give a 35 year old, 14 mil annually. He's a utility guy yes. Game changer? Idk.... they better sign Heyward.

Is that Deadbolt Willie?

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Well, the cubs got worse tonight. I don't care what the cost was, but someone is getting the heave ho for Zobrist. Meh.

Didn't he hate Castro though, or has he shifted his anger toward the next foreigner in line, Soler, now?
