Booo. Seriously, Manaea cost nothing and was considered better than Chris. And we lose our only reliable bullpen arm. Bad trade, poor off-season with no real direction. Half compete, half not.
Please no. Padres got Manea for a song, and he is deemed better than Paddock. Our bullpen was bad last year, and only addition was Joe Smoth, so losing Rogers would hurt a lot
I would be fine with the Castillo trade, because like previously mentioned Lewis probably isn't playing SS and we have Martin and Miranda. Unfortunately, the only thing on trade rumors about the Twins and Castillo is they are one of the few teams that are not in discussions.
Why would you have Happ start again against them? They hit lefties really well and he just got lit up against them in his last start. Maybe should have been a bullpen game instead and have him start in Anaheim. Pretty much was one anyway.
I guess I should rephrase my initial disappointment. O still am disappointed. But since he cost market price, as well as everyone else, I'm expecting the payroll to be at least 150
I do have a problem with them taking someone after one of their own was taken. Could of just used the 40 man spot to protect them, instead of an active roster spot for the year.
