Hope he works out in Toronto but he wasn’t working in STL. |

And like you, I don't think it's impossible; relievers like him come up late and flame out quickly but give you a solid 3-4 years all the time. That's fine. But the time to slow-play the kid is over. And realistically he's a single arm injury from being shot outright. He's working without a net. He can't afford to lose any more development time. |

The question is playing time. Edman was activated today. If you're not going to move Edman over to 2b to make a full-time role for Winn, you don't call Winn up. Edman shouldn't play another damn inning in the OF. And you can't move him to 2b either because that puts Gorman at DH (where Walker should be) and they can't put Gorman at DH because they broke Donovan's elbow pretending he's an OFer. This organization has just ****ed EVERYTHING up this year. It's impossible to manage a roster worse than they have. |

Have they traded Mozeliak to the unemployment line yet?

It's funny to watch the Mets just give up.

We're down to Flaherty, E-Rod and some guys that are really unlikely to be traded (Snell, Stroman, Cease). Teams that are shopping for Cease aren't also shopping for Flaherty. The Padres and Cubs added today - they're not moving those two. So you have 2 or 3 rental pitchers that might also have the stuff to take the ball in a post-season series. And there are still FAR more than 2-3 teams that need at least one of those. I think the O's will try to get E-Rod where their changes in the park dimensions can help him play up (it's hard to get one out to LF out there) but if they can't, Flaherty's a really sensible fallback. |

He’s too inconsistent. |

That's not gonna get you much of anything. Just don't fall in love with prospect lists. A 24 yr old reliever isn't going to be on ANY of those but that doesn't mean he won't have big league value. His skill set makes him more likely to be a big leaguer at some point than probably 20 guys on that top 30 list. An impact big leaguer? Nope - but fringe middle relievers cost $2 million/season on the open market right now. If you get a guy who pitches 150 big league innings in his entire career, you've won that trade going away. There just isn't much 'there' here. And Mozeliak has already stated that he's looking for guys who can help in 2024. I hate that, but it's what he's clearly doing. This guy might be a guy who can do that. He's no less likely to help the big club next season than Jake Woodford is next year at least. That's cold comfort, but again, we're talking about 2 months of a guy who's flaws are WELL established. That's what they cost. |

Good IF depth to have when he's on and hitting as he also plays good defense, but when he's lost at the plate, it's bad. Quote:
He's provided $85 mil. worth of value on his contract so far, but I guess he's viewed as a liability due to his inconsistency and how great he was at the beginning. The $ Cardinals gave is probably going to a buyout. |
