Yeah, what the hell kind of criticism is that?
"Hey, if this guy doesn't develop he's only going to be Josh Beckett." WHAT?!

I'd take Trea Turner for Miller. Yankees and pitching prospects don't mix.
thats not a good gamble....miller was a top pitching prospect too and flopped in the rotation.
not to mention the top pitching prosects list over the last few years has been...poor.

Alright.
I'm still gonna take the guy who throws 100 with good movement and solid secondary offerings over a relief pitcher.
Giolito for Miller is highway robbery.

That's INSANE.
its not insane though. how big do you think the nationals and cubs windows to win is? fir the nationals:
harper is gone in 2 years, scherzer will be 2 years older, werth will be gone
cubs will be losing arrieta, lackey, lester will be entering his sabathia decline. thats a lot of their rotation with not much help in the minors thats 2 years ago.
i dont understand the mindset of not going all in when you have a good window now? also ted lerner is 90+ and probably doesnt wants to win a championship before he dies.

you really think the cubs window is closing because of their old rotation? theo's plan all along was to build the team for long-term success by building a super young positional core, and then filling out the rotation through free agency and trades. the rotation is definitely their biggest area of need going forward, but they have so many young cheap position players with lots of control that they'll be able to use pretty much all of their tradeable assets and money on the rotation going forward.
the cubs are build for the long haul.

Is it really? The Cubs gave up their #1 prospect and then other mid-level prospects on top of that just to RENT Chapman, no contract extension included.
Trading for what has been a top-5 reliever in the game for 2/3 years running (and one who can set up or close, no problem), who isn't old, and who is on a controllable and relatively-cheap contract should cost more than that.
I dunno if it should be for an entire farm system, though...but hey, that's the market. It's Miller/Wade Davis...and everyone else.

The Nats are dumb if they offered that and the Yankees are even dumber if they turned it down.

the cubs overpaid for chapman, but people are overstating torres. he's the type of guys who could fall rapidly. i think people see "cubs" and "top prospect" and get excited thinking about the other recent top cubs prospects. torres is not that kind of prospect. in fact, i think eloy is a much better prospect.
but giolito for miller? that is madness. i understand being very guarded when it comes to pitching prospects (i hate pitchers) but you don't trade a guy like that for a reliever. i don't care how good the reliever is, or how long he's under control for. the risk of losing a TOR starter is not worth the reward of getting an amazing reliever.

May the Schwartz be with you
If they lose this series feel free to change title and I'll cook a hot dog with mustard.
MVP.
I'm expecting the Astros to just stand pat, maybe make a minor move for a bullpen arm.
With that said, watch as they go all in for a Starter.

Bright side of the season being over, young guys will hopefully play a little, might even see Rosario for a series.
They can't even call up Herrera, doubt they'll call up Rosario in September.

The org apparently really really soured on Herrera, I have no idea why. Cheech will be up within 2 weeks, 100%
Great, they didn't resign Murphy cause they wanted him to be the future second baseman. Now he's in the doghouse? Only the Mets.
Yeah that rumor was ridiculous, no way the Nationals would do that. Especially when they can just put Lucas in the bullpen for the remainder of the season if they wanted.
I wonder who we will trade Jim/Kelly Johnson for again next year.
I plan on mostly ignoring the trade deadline as the rumors for sale are to constant right now I will just wait and see if he gets traded and if he does look at the return and see if I am happy or not.
if he does move though I have a feeling I will be happy because the white sox will likely get quite the package for him.

Right? And it's not like he hasn't been producing, before he hurt his shoulder in late may, he was hitting .320.
I'll never understand this team.

Lucroy is gonna get a haul for the Brewers.
Other than that yeah it'll be pretty underwhelming if Hal doesn't sell.

I think he is just messing around though judging by the context, but you never know
