Heyman reported Yankees were talking to Miami about Lopez

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

MLB Network guy says Marlins are holding onto Lopez

 

[Emperoreddy]

Don't get this if they didn't have a deal for another starter ready to go. Severino can't come off IR until September.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Yeah, you would think Cashman landed a starter if he did. A bit puzzling otherwise.

 

[Emperoreddy]

He would have been pushed to the number 6 guy when Severino comes back, but they still need a number 5 guy now and honestly maybe a 6 in September to limit their top guys innings, especially Nestor who has never pitched this much before

Yeah, I do not get it either.

Also, it's nice to have guy like him around in case of injury

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Lol

 

[Emperoreddy]

Isn't he in a walking boot too? Plus they have Hicks as the 4th OF. Did they need a 5th?

Don't get it.

Monty hasn't been very good this year either though

 

[Emperoreddy]

No Lopez or Rodon. I just flat out don't get it.

Cole
Montas
Taillon
Cortes
Severino

But Sevy is out...

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

He must really think German has shown enough in his return.

He must really think German has shown enough in his return.

He was awful his first start, ok his second and pretty good yesterday.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Tailon and German being relied on as the 4th and 5th starter could cost them home field

Truly horrific. Mozeliak’s worst, and that’s saying something considering he traded Sandy Alcantara and Randy Arozerena.

This isn't a bad trade at all.

 

[Terry Yake]

what an odd trade for NY

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Headscratching. Also I have plantar fascitis too. Never considered using a walking boot, that's not good for Bader.

 

[punk_o_holic]

No Lopez or Rodon. I just flat out don't get it.

Yeah when the reports came out that they were in on Lopez and why they got the Montas deal done yesterday, rumors of concerns about Severino and concerns about Taillon and Cortes running out of gas. So they trade a starter and didn't acquire another. Strange indeed. On another note, CF was weakest position for defensive runs saved and they get a former gold glover and moves Judge back to RF.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

Don't mind this. Montgomery is fine and Bader is what he is. Elite defender and great speed but barely average at the plate. And Carlson has been great in CF since he got hurt. Didn't give up a prospect either.

Edman moves to RF and hopefully DeJong can stay above the mendoza line now that he's back.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Taillon pitching like crap.
