It might have been 6 if Russell was healthy. Looking forward to seeing the much hyped slider-curve thingy that Dillon Maples throws.

"Considering how far back we are in the division, we figured such a good reliever on an expiring contract deserved to play for a competitive team. So we put him through the system that virtually guaranteed he wouldn't get to play for a competitive team, because we actually don't want to make our competitors better despite having just said we've given up. Also please pay no attention to the extra $600k behind the curtain that Nutting is furiously shoveling into his wallet, just coincidental."

Brandon Phillips scratched from lineup, speculation of a trade but he's got no-trade and the Braves called it "personal reasons".

I don't want him, we already can't get Montgomery a stable spot in the rotation since apparently nobody wants to tell Lackey that he's terrible and is delegated to the pen

more from heyman: Texas made clear to the Astros they were completely willing to trade Yu Darvish in-state and in-division despite rumors of rivalry/bad blood. But they never got close. The Rangers started by asking for Houston’s top guys, but eventually requested a package of good A-ball players. Houston, however, offered David Paulino, a former prospect currently on the suspended list. It’s probably nothing about bad blood, either; the Astros were only looking to make a deal their own way. -- tucker, i get wanting to keep. but i'm curious if they held fisher back too. fisher for darvish is a drat good deal and i have to think they would've done that?

The GM says in that press release that the claiming team wouldn't offer a significant prospect though. Is it better to give away a player for nothing, or trade him to your hated division rival and get back some org filler non-prospect? IDK

Abel Wingnut posted:more from heyman: If this is true, I'm pretty irritated because Fisher for Darvish would have been a great trade. Fisher is solid, but he's not the OUTFIELDER OF THE FUTURE they proclaimed him to be and we need starters more than anything. Also  at offering David loving Paulino, a guy who was merely mediocre before he had the PED albatross tossed in.

I wouldn't give up squat for him. If the Cubs are going to spend that kind of money on a veteran pitcher going forward, just pay Arrieta who is 3 years younger.

I can see why the Astros wouldn't want to give up one of their only promising left handed bats for half a season of a guy who has trouble staying healthy and would have probably walked If you could promise me a fully healthy Darvish who'd pitch less selfishly and more to contact, maybe then

bawfuls posted:I find that hard to believe Arguably hitting his stride again, he and Darvish are the only premier pitchers on the market (assuming Cueto stays with the Giants and keeps his $84MM) and is represented by Boras. While maybe not 'a hell of a lot' I can see 5/150 as an obvious target for Jake.

I'm not against making any moves and the idea of a potentially healthy Darvish is exciting, I just don't know that Darvish for a trade that included either Tucker or Fisher was the right one They should have made a play for guys like Quintana and Gray before it was too late really
