Martin is the kind of guy you trade to get a guy like Berrios. He's still young, but is basically blocked at SS by Bichette. Maybe he moves to 3rd, but that's down the line. Great get (along with Woods-Richardson) for the Twins.
Maybe there are no great offers for Story? He is pretty mediocre away from Coors.What the hell is wrong with Colorado? They should be having a fire sale but instead they’re just gonna lose a whole bunch of guys for nothing this winter.
They are always a mess but particularly this year as it is unclear who is making decisions.What the hell is wrong with Colorado? They should be having a fire sale but instead they’re just gonna lose a whole bunch of guys for nothing this winter.
Yeah, other teams have worse records, but the Rockies might be the most screwed up franchise at this pointThey are always a mess but particularly this year as it is unclear who is making decisions.
The Jays are giving up more here than the Dodgers did to get both Scherzer and Turner.Martin is the kind of guy you trade to get a guy like Berrios.

Supply/demand, the Blue Jays needed to outbid the Padres and whoever else and Martin is blocked by Bichette.The Jays are giving up more here than the Dodgers did to get both Scherzer and Turner.
You need to be getting a deadset sure thing if you deal an Austin Martin, and SWR is no slouch either. Berrios is a very good pitcher they have for a year and a half now, but he's not an ace. I know they have great depth in the middle IF right now, but these things work themselves out. It's not indefensible, but I'd just need way more to do this deal if I'm the Jays.
Ahhhh, I forgot. Thank you.Lingering effects from the shoulder injury in last years playoffs?
It's Kimbrel for Nick Madrigal & Codi Heuer. Can't believe they shipped out Madrigal!MLB notification on my phone is showing Kimbrel to the White Sox. No mention of Bryant being tied in.
I cannot believe that they traded Madrigal period, let alone threw in a quality arm. Wow.It's Kimbrel for Nick Madrigal & Codi Heuer. Can't believe they shipped out Madrigal!
Edit: Heuer isn't chopped liver either. He's a big arm with decent secondary pitches, has back of the bullpen potential. Importantly, he's 25 with 3 options left & 2 more years until arbitration. White Sox are going IN.
They might have to merge the Cubs and the Nats to field a teamWho's playing for the Cubs tonight?
Who'd they play against? They're scheduled to play each other.They might have to merge the Cubs and the Nats to field a team
The short version is after the dust settled they have a slightly better closer, an actual MLB-level fifth starter, and a guy who might break through finally and become the everyday third baseman next year. Whether it was worth alienating the clubhouse and notably the current third baseman to do so is unclear at the moment.I didn't hear much about Seattle, how did Jerry DiPoto's week of many things to come turn out?
Yeah, there's a power vacuum at the top and no one knows what the hell is going on.I still don’t understand wtf the Rockies were doing
Arrieta is the starter, but I’d rather him hit than pitch given the results this season…A pretty crowded mound tonight.
