2021 Trade Deadline

[calsnowskier]

Selman was the cost for Watson.

More than I would have liked to spend, but not a needle mover.

 

[LHG]

That is better. I always dislike seeing prospects go and Canario was one of my favorites but trouble was brewing with his production at the plate. Kilian, was one of the better looking starters in the upper minors. That feels like it may hurt more than we may initially think, but I've been known to be wrong.

I don’t know man, the thought of facing Bauer in the playoffs makes my head hurt…

Won't happen so you're safe. Facing Buehler and Scherzer however....

Selman was buried on this team and wasn't doing that great in AAA. I actually like this move.

Gotta give to get

I meant Bauer…hurting peoples heads.

on a completely unrelated note, I’m not funny.

Looks like the Giants won't be favored in the playoffs again. That's how we like it!

Be fun to meet the Dodgers in a playoff series for the first time ever if it plays out that way.

We've never been favored against anyone in the post season, except in hindsight. Maybe against the Angels in '02 and look how that worked out

 

[stanford the manford]

Its almost as if the Giants shouldn't have let Watson walk in the first place. At least we've strengthened the bullpen. Angels became sellers very last minute.

I never understood why Watson was not retained

Rebuilding, what for?

Quick photoshop of what Watson may look like in a Giants uni. Sorry not my best work

I would rate this “funny”, but you aren’t funny…

During the 3/5, we were actually the dog in EVERY series. Not just the playoffs in general, but EVERY FUCKING SERIES!

You sound like my wife.

I never understood why Watson was not retained

I never understood why we got him for so cheap and never understood why we let him walk. There was some talk on these boards at the time that we closed our books with him still unsigned, and no one had any theories as to why he never got paid and seems to always move around. Who is his agent?

 

[calsnowskier]

You sound like my wife.

I wouldn’t say I sound exactly like her, but I see the similarity…

Um…

I mean…

I have no idea what your wife sounds like. In any situation…

Spoiler

Just pay her well. I have bills too.

 

[tzill]

Yes, but it we get a hitter, how about one who hits and has actually played in the outfield this year?

Done. KB says "hi!"

 

[tzill]

You gotta figure they think they can resign him if they gave up that package.

Wade is a lefty beast, but he is purely a platoon player at this point.

Boras client.

No guarantees except that he'll be heading to FA.

Wow... someone made some money

 

[tzill]

I assume Bryant will move to LF when Longo returns... or am I off base here?

Id be surprised if Flores doesn't get the bulk of starts at 3B until Longo gets back. Bryant may play a little bit there, but I think they want him in LF.
