The Giants were just tying their shoes. That's it.

Nothing to see here...





I HATE HATE HATE HATE this trade
The price this year for relievers has been insane, this continues the trend. And he's not an elite reliever like Miller, Kimbrel, or Chapman.

Susac is 26 and has played barely half a season worth of games.

I am not convinced he is a step up over Lopez, Osich or even Reynolds (as a LOOGY).

I just don't get this trade at all.

Unless the org doesn't like Bickford. That is the only thing that even remotely makes sense. But has has felt this year.

Susac is the throw in on this deal. If HE us who you are focusing on, you need to adjust your filters...

Even if he doesn't amount to anything, trading your top prospect for Will Smith still feels like an overpay.

Is Bickford over Beede at this point?

MLBN had him listed as their top prospect, I don't know if he's really the best.

Arroyo is likely our top, but Bickford likely has the highest ceiling of the three.

Beede is closer, though.

I'll give you the last 2. I'm not buying Arroyo yet.

Not a huge fan of this Beltran deal with what's being reported.
