    there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

    The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

  • Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

I never thought I'd say this back in April, but I don't get trading Straw without a corresponding move for an upgrade in CF.

Lol wtf. Why would we weaken our outfield to add a meh bullpen arm?

Because Straw is the worst player on the team.

So we rolling with Chas in CF I guess? Didn't see that coming. I'm not going to particularly miss Straw, but curious what the plan is. Odd.

So who we rolling out a CF now? A guy that wasn’t good enough to start over straw?

Jake Meyers

Mfer can hit. But do we have time to let him ride out the bumpy intro to ML pitching and roll with him in the playoffs?

What a weird day. I have no idea if we got better or worse.

We got better on Tuesday. I don't think we got better today.

There have been some weird ass trades this year.

Not great but move Uncle Mike to RF, Tucker to CF and play Diaz in LF

I wanted Buxton but I will say that I've seen quite a bit of Jake Meyers and that dude can rake AND play defense. I think y'all are gonna like him. I just don't know how long it will take him to transition to the next level. 

Well now I hate zero position players....so thats cool

Point of reference.

Ryan Pressley had a career 3.81 era and 3.85 FIP with 213 K's in 269.1 RIP before the Astros traded for him.

With the Astros 2.10 ERA, 2.31 FIP, 1.9 BB/9, 11.9 K/9

They should have tried this at the start of the season or a month or 2 in.  Then they would know by now.

Trading a good clubhouse guy to allow a rookie to find his sea legs in a pennant race is an interesting decision. Straw ain’t amazing, but this has huge backfire potential. Even if we love Maton, I can’t imagine that was the only package they’d accept.

Maybe we claim someone off waivers eventually like we did with Cameron Maybin

I thought 3pm was the hard deadline. no more claiming guys off waivers after this day

You can still get guys later....just not the same way we got Verlander

No. You can still claim players that clear waivers, you just can't trade for them after today. So if a team puts a player on waivers, and you claim them you get them without any compensation going back to the other team.

That is fair but I think they initially thought Meyers was playing beyond expectations and they needed time to see if it was a mirage or not. Additionally, one of the supposed strengths of Straw's place in the lineup never really materialized in the form of stolen bases. 

There is not a thing Straw does that Meyers won't do better. He's a better defender, he has speed, he can hit for average and he can hit for power. Experience is the only issue.

seems strange to accept the straw offer without first (a) having a deal in place for a cf or (b) knowing what meyers looks like as an mlb cf.

from the outside, it looks like a fuck up.  whether it'll actually cost us, who knows.  i like maton.

I still can't believe no one else claimed Verlander.

This a Jake Meyers move.

Tyler White was an unathletic schlub that looks like he'd dominate a beer league.

Remember when surly hated Myles Straw and wanted him dumped in the Gulf of Mexico?

Jake Meyers is better than Straw.
