Also Tex wasn’t actually a rental. What was dumb was trading the farm for a first baseman when you were running out Buddy Caryle and Chuck James twice a week

That's the thing. We're not a franchise in desperation mode. We're in a position to win either way.

What happened is they got off to a hot start and showed up to the party a year early.

And we only have 3 reliable starters and 2-3 reliable arms in the bullpen. Do we want to win or not? If so, we need help.

Whoa now don’t put that evil on Frank Wren. That was on super genius John Schuerholz

The point is... They didn't win anything and without that trade, those prospects are playing for the Braves and things might have gone differently 2-3 years down the road instead of heading south.

AA isn't going to give up anybody in our top 10 and any decent arm or bat will most likely take 1 of those guys maybe more. He is gambling on prospects to work out.

The Red Sox got Eovaldi for their 15th ranked prospect.

These guys aren’t going for a ton. It’s weird that we haven’t done anything yet.

Sorry, I’m a Frank Wren defender. Your overall point is definitely correct.

Look AA is super aggressive. Look what he did with Toronto. I trust him. He’s gonna make the right move for the franchise.

The Red Sox system is terrible though. Their 15th ranked prospect is like our 22nd prospect

I like what the Yankees did. What they gave up fir Britton was a bunch of guys eligible for the Rule 5 draft that they had a chance to lose. I dont see why we can do something like that

Because it’s the 26th and we still have five days to go?

Braves need to split with LA then we got eleven games with the Marlins, Mets, and hopefully broken Nats. That’s when they can make their move on the Phillies

We also play three more games than Philly rest of the year. We can make up some ground
