NL needs Bum to start all the games in the world series to stop the royals.

Fucking hell Billy got Manaea for 3 months of Zobrist?
Well done Billy.
The Shark deal made sense. If not for the BP imploding in the WC game, we might be talking about a completely different Cinderella run last year.

Makes the Wilpons cheaping out on him a bit more palatable.

Royals all in to make another run. Good luck to them! ...unless they face us again lol.

Yeah it would have taken a guy like Rosario + for him.
Nooooo way. SA knew Billy would game him for a rental player.

Not sure if this was posted, but here's how Tulo found out he was going north.
Article goes onto be a sort of autopsy on the trade. Touches on the dysfunction in the Rockies upper command.
Adding onto this, but a comment from Reddit (yeah, I know) that Rockies fans and certainly the Rox management should keep in mind:

Still, the fact that Arenado is a Boras client, and the bad taste the Rockies are leaving in everybody in Denver's mouth because of this trade does not bode well to Arenado. Hell, I doubt Cargo (If he isn't traded) or Blackmon will want to stay if it means getting fucked over by the GM or owner.

Also, no surprise considering his feelings in the dugout last night:

I can see that, from all indications at least from the local media, he was not interested in being traded one bit.

Great deal for the A's. Hopefully that means Joey Wendle gets to come up and play some ML 2B.
Now the real test will be if he can squeeze anything at all for O'Flaherty and Mujica. Even a bag of chips would be a good get.

At this point why are we asking why?
They have a shit FO that's probably the worst in basebawl now.

I thought it was obvious after the Touki Toussaint trade that the Diamondbacks are defying convention and employing a Buy High, Sell Low strategy.

I thought the Tulo trade confirmed that the Rockies are deserving of that title?
Let's trade
I think that was before we found out they got Hoffman
still, not a particularly good trade for them

Jeff Passan is reporting that the Rockies were open to negotiating money on Tulowitski with the Mets, but the Tulowitski told the Rockies he did not want to go to the Mets, so everything was aborted.

Ehhh... the Royals didn't need Zobrist for this run. They overpaid.
Dangerous game, sacrificing the future for a one-shot run.
It's an odd year.
Disagree. He'll fill in LF well (at least better than Dyson and Orlando) until Gordo comes back and after that he'll be a great replacement for either Rios or Infante. I'm super okay with this if it helps us with a championship.

It's a very marginal improvement for a hefty cost. I guess if it's title or bust this year, well then you got what you needed.
But it would be sad if after all these years, the Royals only get a couple good years in the run before falling back to earth.
Any Expo jerseys? Now THAT'D be dope

Washington Post reporting Nationals very close to acquiring Jonathan Papelbon. Should be done today.

Travis d'Arnaud could be in the lineup on Friday.
The thing is, even when Gordo does come back he won't be in mid-season form. We really needed a Plan B and Zobrist seems to be the answer to that.
You're making it sound like the Royals are going to clean house at the end of the year. I don't think that's going to be the case.
Keep him in bubble wrap.
