Looks like the Dodgers and Red Sox are close on a deal for James Paxton going to Boston

I don’t understand this one. Dominguez, even with a higher ERA this month, looks like a different pitcher since April, but I am not sure he’s the high leverage arm that we need. Pache is a right-handed batter, but he’s not going to bring the offense that Hays did in an outfield full of lefties.

It’s an upgrade over Pache but it’s still meh.
Kind of meh but still a little upgrade offensively. Having Rojas and Pache on the roster was kind of redundant. And maybe moving Dominguez means they have an idea to upgrade the bullpen.

Huge upgrade offensively.

Pache is rancid.

Hayes has a OPS+ of 107 which is in line with his career. He’s a slightly above league average bat.

The surface level stats should improve with the ballpark change.

Could still add more and he becomes depth.

If not, he’s still a consistently above league average bat. Even if it’s usually barely.
I’m seeing now his splits vs LHP are very good. He’s a .894 OPS vs lefties this year. I don’t see eye to eye with the Phillies here. I don’t think they adequately replaced Rhys Hoskins power production from the right side. Realmuto, Castellanos, and Bohm are all doubles guys. I’m still chasing Arozarena.

If they had Arozarena plus this move I’d be elated.

I also think that Seranthony being dealt means they are likely adding 2 or even 3 bull pen arms. They really need high leverage pen.

That's a great point. That change in the dimensions in left field in Baltimore made it tougher for a guy like Hays. He should fare better at Citizens Bank.

Seranthony is inconsistent. He struggles with any of his non fastball stuff. His big issue is location and the bases on balls he gives up. I think he would have to be an improvement for you guys if you’re still using Kimbrel in high leverage spots.

Astros probably don't have what Detroit wants for Flaherty but might for Fedde.
