I don't think there's any way Giolito gets to us.

We shall see.

Reds took Bader
Guardians took Giolito and Lopez

Cleveland is weird.

 

[tzill]

Cleveland also claimed Matty Mo
Reds took Renfroe

I guess the Guards think they can catch the Twinkies, b/c they have zero chance at a WC spot.

Gotta respect their Cody Ross moves, screwing the Twinkies.

Big day for Ohio....

Is it fair to call these guys the Guardian Angels?

Leone to the M's...the ginger phuk.

Grichuk unclaimed...surprising nobody

So now there’s zero chance of us getting any of the guys that got claimed right?

correct. They join their new teams and Grichuk goes back to LAA. No trades can be made now.

Not sure there was much outside Giolito to add anyway.

If the Angels choose to outright Grichuk, he can elect free agency. So there is a chance. However, I would guess the Angels just keep him on the roster for the rest of the season.

Correct again. Since they have to pay him anyway they probably keep him.
