Stupid ass trade. Better off keeping him and tendering him then getting a ****ing nothing in return.
So are you saying Dipoto actually may have won a trade for the first time in awhile?
Powell has been good at AAA this year with a .906 OPS.
Mariners have really gotten subpar 1B production, even the .786 OPS Alonso has produced since July began is an upgrade. I like this trade for them. Gamel-Heredia-Haniger-Martin-Dyson with Kyle Lewis coming, they still have an OF logjam.
No way the A's were offering Alonso a QO at like 18 M. He would have taken it.
Easily. Powell is a AAAA player and Alonso is having a .975 ops season with elite defense.
they honestly couldn't get anything better in return?
what a dumb trade
Baseball is chock full of corner OFs and 1Bs right now.
