Welp the Garcia trade cleared a lot of bodies to bring the draftees on. Hated to see Lugo go but the staff knows more than I do. Onward and upward.

We got a #5 SP, 2RP, upgraded backup C, and 5-6 years of a good young SP without giving up a Top11 prospect. And most of the guys we moved for that were part of the Rule5 crowd… awesome work by Craig.

I'll guess the deadline retrospective will come down to Yorke vs. Priester. That said, we gave up a volume of interesting guys, and even if none of Lugo/Paulino/Kavadas/Zeferjahn/Portes/Coffey is individually very likely to succeed, the odds that one of them will are a lot higher. Gotta make the playoffs, make it worth it.

Glad the Red Sox were able to trade fringy prospects for MLB help to close the Domestic Reserve List gap instead of just releasing other minor leaguers for nothing and losing the fringy prospects in Rule 5

Wow, I'm coming away from this deadline very surprised and definitely more than a little disappointed. Other than the Priester trade (which I liked), and as a general supporter of most of Breslow's moves in the offseason, it seems like we barely moved the needle.
I think my feelings would be different if Sims and/or Jansen had an extra year of control, but those are guys having okay-to-bad years who you're hoping to improve mid-season. It feels like other teams traded their spare parts and got some impact players or upside projects with a year+ left, while we traded our spare parts and got some extremely "bleh" pure rentals.
Yes, I'm aware that we didn't trade any of our top guys away – that's not very comforting/exciting when you don't get much in return.

I would say the lane that CB2 picked was pretty appropriate to the stage of contention the team is in. Acquired guys who should perform better than the guys they’ll push down the playing time ladder but no huge go-for-it splash at the top of the rotation or the middle of the lineup. Given this performance, I’m pretty confident about how he might approach the off-season and next deadline.

He didn’t trade for a rocket ship for the two bullpen guys to play for us tonight, I knock him for that

I'll take the over. I don't think they are done. I expect a NetFlix-worthy deal to cross in the next couple of hours. Time will tell. Another SP could put Bello, Criswell and Winck in the pen from the original SP pool. My guess is Rotation: Houck, Snell or Anderson, Pivetta, Crawford, Paxton The healthy of: RHRP: Jansen, Martin, Hendriks, Slaten, Sims, Kelly, Bello, Criswell, Winckowski LHRP: Bernardino, Booser, Horn, Penrod I can even see them dealing Jansen in a deal for a guy like Painter, if they move controllable pitching to SF in a deal for Snell. Just ideas... but I feel like something fun is probably coming. Well, they weren't done. Not sure Garcia for the R5 no-protect trifecta plus lottery ticket matches quite up to what I was hoping for, but not a bad deal.

They made a few marginal upgrades, which seems about the right degree of upgrades to make for a team with 40% playoff odds. They spent a little more on those upgrades than I would've liked but not to some excessive degree. I liked the Priester addition. All in all, somewhere on the "ehh" to "fine" spectrum I'd say. Much like last season.

And as much as it would be nice to have sale pitching like he is with ATL. we thought that “this would be the year” we have a healthy Sale for the past 4 seasons. It was like the boy who cried wolf at this point.

The Red Sox paid Sale's contract Which I still can’t understand. When we traded sale, his contract was underwater. I do not think any of us here thought he would still be healthy this late in the season.

Crotchet needs to fire his agent. He's not likely to be the most popular player in Chicago now.

We traded a lot of prospect volume for slight upgrades and the only guy we control beyond this year is Priester. I'd have been more satisfied if some of these arms were under control at least another year. Mark Leiter Jr is having a much better season than anyone that we acquired for the bullpen and the Yankees gave up less and control him until 2027.
