Some control issues but great stuff.  He's got closer potential.

The Uberstine for White deal is weird.  It seems like we traded a useful reliever for a pinch runner.

My general view is that proven commodities are worth more than unproven prospects, so I'm happy with the Rutschman deal, as long as he can stay reasonably healthy.

I was taking an exam this afternoon so I heard some of the Adley rumors but didn't see the official trade until recently. Holy... they gave up a ton for Adley. Now the farm system is a bit barren besides Arias, and lacks high-end right handed starters with Eyanson AND Witherspoon out.

And while I was find trading Mayer in a package deal for something, it's crazy that they were fine dumping him for a reliever. They must have hated or fully lost belief in him behind the scenes.

No clue what to make of the Eli White trade. I guess he's solid depth?

My god. Breslow seemed to go somewhat all-in here. Kinda risky. I do hope they extend Adley because if they traded all that for a 1.5 year rental basically, oof
