gleyber seems like a lot for two months of chapman, but i guess you can do that when you have young stars at every position
― mookieproof, Monday, 25 July 2016 13:01 (seven years ago) link
interesting in light of the now-completed aroldis chapman deal:
Dan Szymborski @DSzymborskiThe Cubs are 55-1 going into the 9th with lead, 53-1 going into 8th, 53-5 into 7th. The upside for *any* reliever add is limited.

if that's what relievers cost now, the yankees can rebuild their entire system by dealing miller and betances too
― mookieproof, Monday, 25 July 2016 16:50 (seven years ago) link
looks like a better move when postseason is taken into account:
However, the Cubs have more wins than any team in Major League Baseball and are making a clear effort to deepen their roster not just to get to the postseason but to thrive upon arriving there. The structure of the postseason schedule allows clubs to more heavily rely on their bullpen arms due to the frequency of off-days in the schedule, making Chapman that much more valuable in a five- or seven-game series.

the fewer innings given to the likes the joel peralta the better imo

def a playoff move

yeah sort of feel like once you account for the inevitable regression from those great late-inning team numbers the deal makes some more sense. as a yankees fan i like it too
― k3vin k., Monday, 25 July 2016 17:22 (seven years ago) link
oh, absolutely a playoff move
everyone's late-game records are like that; they're just ahead more than anyone else

the bullpen buzzsaw strategy in the playoffs are gonna get real boring real quick imo

o's did the same thing when they brought miller in with an already great pen, but I think that's the year the royals had a better buzzsaw

rangers get pitchers lucas harrell and dario alvarez
barves get 2B travis demeritte, who is going to be sad to leave high desert
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 27 July 2016 21:49 (seven years ago) link
good trade for atl
― dynamicinterface, Wednesday, 27 July 2016 23:25 (seven years ago) link
skeptical that demeritte will make enough contact to work out, but he *is* leading his league in homers by a good ways
pretty good return for a 31yo with eight appearances/a 27yo with 20 innings over the last three seasons

@jonmorosiSources who have spoken with #Nats believe they would trade Lucas Giolito to #Yankees for Andrew Miller, straight up.

― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Sunday, 31 July 2016 02:11 (seven years ago) link
just a trade of bad contracts, only one of which is attached to an abuser

ah I forgot about olivera's DV-charge jacket, fuck 'im then
all things being equal the monetary burden on the barves isn't even that much given how thoroughly they've gutted the roster
