In 7 years after he's past his prime?

Uhh, Perry????

 

This inaction has Arte Moreno written all over it.   The guy who is possibly one of the four hardline owners.

They would if they included Adell in a possible prospects trade for someone like Castillo.

So we finally get out of the lockout and these homos sign absolute crap for a backup Catcher, reveal they will NOT be signing a real SS, and are currently watching countless pitchers we could use come off the board

I had been of the belief, over the last few months, that they weren’t done and that they would still be active after the lockout. I no longer feel that is the case. Maybe another small move or two, but I think we are betting everything on Syndergaard and Lorenzen being healthy and effective. This is a third place team as currently constructed (and that assumes the A’s trade away a couple more key pieces).

Of course they do.  It provides depth to trade for a starter that’s better than anyone available in free agency.

Joe's top choice for SS at the moment is the guy with a career OPS+ of like, 50.

 

Wonderful.

43.  It's 43.  

[Docwaukee]

we're not done.  

I wish they were actually.  At least it would make me less concerned that they're about to do something really stupid.

Meanwhile in New York...

The Reds traded away Gray so they won't be letting go of their cheap cost controlled pitcher in Castillo. It's not like they would without a huge package coming back, one the Angels would wreck their farm to fill.

Just what top line starter are you getting for Adell? 

(Now here comes the part where it is Adell and our two best pitching respects for a B level starter.)

Does Minasian have a stove?
