T-minus 1 more loss and 25 hours until Stearns doesn't trade anything and we can view this season for what is is: a really encouraging sign for next year from a team that isn't ready yet.

I'm still not convinced we're not going to make another move or two. We're 2.5 back now but we still have 7 games vs the Cubs so it's not like we're really out of it and that's the approach that Attanasio is going to take in regards to pressuring Stearns (because let's be real here, Attanasio isn't going to stand pat). I wouldn't be surprised if Dan Straily is a Brewer tomorrow. I don't think we're really willing to ride out a rotation of Nelson, Davies, Anderson, Garza, Suter the rest of the season and with both Anderson and Garza out for a while, we're rocking a rotation of Nelson, Davies, Suter and two unknowns. I mean, this is our active pitching right now...

I don't know if our pitching is the real problem right now.  This staff - with all of its warts - had kept the Cubs in check for the most part.  If you can't score more than 1 or 2 runs a game you're screwed.  The guys seem to watch good pitches go by and swing at balls.   Truly sad, frankly.  Can this drought continue much longer??   :(

Straily is going to cost too much IMO

In light of the last two days, I feel it's a good time to post this:

In exchange for Carlos Gomez, Mike Fiers, Jonathan Lucroy, Jeremy Jeffress and Tyler Thornburg, we received Domingo Santana, Josh Hader, Brett Phillips, Lewis Brinson, Luis Ortiz, essentially Anthony Swarzak, Travis Shaw, Mauricio Dubon, Adrian Houser and Josh Pennington (lemme know if I'm missing someone @bkobow05 or @ramssuperbowl99 )..

The teams that we traded those five players to have gotten a combined 5.1 WAR out of them. We've gotten 5 WAR out of Santana and Shaw this season and have a combined five million years of team control left amongst the entire group.

Oh yeah, and the two most valuable (when traded) players have been waived (Gomez) and just traded for a PTBNL (Lucroy).

Eh, doubtful. Marlins are selling their assets for pennies on the dollar right now. 

Just throwing his name out there. 

I get that but he is controllable which adds a ton to his value.  I don't mind him if we can get him for the right price.  If it means I don't have to watch Guerra anymore I'm all for it lol.

You could throw in Phil Bickford  (although he got popped for drugs) and Andrew Susac for Will Smith.
