Agreed and along the same lines I’m assuming they’re done Third. My only hope at this point is the Giants or White Sox get desperate in the 11th hour w/ Snell & Crochet respectively and Craig takes advantage. Otherwise, I too think they’re done. 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.

Dodgers, Yankees and Red Sox still being linked to Flaherty. I'd have to guess that Flaherty gets dealt so probably a waiting game at this point, not sure I want to see them win any sort of bidding war on Flaherty if that's what the Tigers are trying to do. I doubt sox are serious. Seems like they're thrown in to up the price for Yankees. Maybe I'm wrong though

I'm pretty happy even if we're done. I'd still like to see if we can get a lefty reliever, or if there is a SP that's not too expensive that's an upgrade (unrealistic, but hey, you never know i suppose), i guess if there's a bat, not really sure where they'd slot in, but i wouldn't be against it if they think there's a fit there. but yeah, overall pretty stoked about the deadline. Not done. Ovis Portes for Lucas Sims (Reds). High leverage pen help. Hopefully.

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.

Interesting move to minimize prospect cost as Cobb is currently rehabbing. Of course, inherently risky given Cobb has yet to pitch a MLB inning this season.

If I had to guess I'd say it's because Ferguson hasn't been any good

I wonder if teams should prioritize adding international $$$ to help beef up the offer for roki this winter

They also gave up Kyle Stowers Woof. That’s a crazy price! He has two more arb years, so he wasn’t going to be cheap.

On the other, he'd have to be really, really, really stupid to make his decision based on what...$500k-$1M?

My only hope at this point is the Giants or White Sox get desperate in the 11th hour w/ Snell & Crochet respectively and Craig takes advantage. Otherwise, I too think they’re done. I can see CWS wanting to get something done now, considering the risk of Crochet getting hurt and his recent headache-inducing demands to be treated like something other than a pork belly. I would (still) love a trade-and-extend.

Yeah the next two months of Crochet pitching are extremely valuable and the White Sox need to convert that into future wins. The return is only going to get worse from here

Oakland set-up man Ecreg to Royals - was lost in Mason Miller’s shadow but pretty nasty. He had multiple years of control

Yeah the next two months of Crochet pitching are extremely valuable and the White Sox need to convert that into future wins. The return is only going to get worse from here I'm not so sure that's true. If his market craters because of Crochet's power play, then it'd almost certainly be a better idea to wait until his power play no longer has any power. It's not as though Crochet can veto a trade; so what is he going to say in November or December to make teams not want him? I won't pitch in the playoffs if I don't get an extension?
