The Phillies are got Lorenzen in a 1-for-1 swap of infield prospect Hao-Yu Lee.

That is a lower prospect than Amaya for those following at home

This is looking like a big time failure, unless they pull something out of nowhere.

Like i don't really see any rumors anywhere.

Morosi did say we're looking at rotation help.

Where's the bat rumors. Come on Kim.

they have been mentioned a bunch but nothing specific today. Had seen reports on Perez but that fell apart, but also that they are looking for a C in general and SP in general. If she does not pull off a single major deal this is one of the biggest failures in recent memory. It's one thing to hold onto controlled guys like pablo last year when they are selling, but to continue to trot out this lineup is resigning themselves to not making the playoffs, which would be a disgrace.

Again, even something as simple as taking on grandal's money for a C upgrade would be a start. This would be an unmitigated failure on both Bruce AND Kim.

it's one thing to get outbid, but almost all of these guys are not going for much. It makes no sense that they wouldnt trade for any of these guys unless they have something bigger cooking. Flaherty, Gallegos, and then 2 of the cardinals bats has to be happening.

nardi reinstated for tonights game. corresponding move depends on whether kim wakes up in the next 2 hours

The problem is, waiting for the big move is risky because if it doesn't happen, you've missed out on all the "cheap" alternative upgrades.

Gotta wait till 6:10 (as some things get reported a few after as they hit league offices at 5:59), but like WTF when this has been obvious for 2 months is all I have to say. However I will be EXCITED for the press releases and interviews if they do nothing as oh my god the gas lighting and social comments are going to be gold when they were 25 games ago 14 games over .500 and in the driver's seat.



Brewers also just got Chaffin from the Diamondbacks. Who is their best RP. Diamondbacks are contenders and trading relievers (heh). They are doing some moves over there as that is a set up for other moves.

What is Jorge Soler free agency?

[fish16]

i just refuse to believe they dont have anything big until we pass 6. they are in on too many guys and to many reports that we are buyers to do nothing.

[fish16]

i think something is about to break. Jeremy Tache, who did the swings and mishes pod with Mish just tweeted something super cryptic about a big move. That's what im hanging my hopes on at this point lol

Jeremy Tach

[fish16]

90 minutes. big moves very soon.

[Erick]

The two catchers rumored to be available right now are Austin Hedges and Joey Bart.

I have no interest in either guy, and would rather do nothing.

What a disappointing trade deadline.
