Yes. In isolation trading Sale could have made sense. But in the totality of the moves they made, it didn't. We needed a significant upgrade. Instead what we got was swapping Sale for Giolito. What we got was more of the same willful negligence we've seen for several years now.
-
The thing is they did the exact same crap last year when Story got hurt. Instead of signing an actual defensive SS they tried Kike. This year they've tried Rafaela, who clearly belongs in CF just like Kike, and a bunch of other guys. It's deja vu all over again.

And this.

I said this on Jan. 4.

I was in favor on December 30, 2023, because at that time I assumed they would be making other moves to upgrade the rotation. I still believed the 'full throttle' ******** at that time. Plus I had heard a lot of glowing reviews about Grissom, who I knew very little about then.

I had no idea they tried trading him. Please share.
-
Yes sir, we can always get along without him somehow. We'll still field a team and play 162!

Are we going to COUNT ON Story for next year? The answer can only be yes or no. If the answer is no he must be traded for whatever you can get and eat as much money as necessary. This is how these things must work. It's all simple stuff, all black and white, man!
-
They gave Winckowski the ball with a 3 run lead. The defense f***ed up and then he f***ed up. There was also an injury to Sogard that impacted it. It was ugly, but it wasn't because of bad managerial moves.
-
As mvp just said, there's also the warming up thing. When was the last time Martin pitched more than an inning? And in this case he's fresh off the IL with an elbow issue.
-
Cora basically said he didn't want to use him for 4 outs so soon after coming off the IL with the elbow issue.
-
Yeah, it's great they went with the sure things of Giolito and Grissom instead. It's all about sure things and who you can count on and all that.
-
I get what you're saying. I was a little surprised too. But I think Cora figured that because he was already "burning" Jansen for the next game, he might as well let him finish. Plus just about any lead is blow-able with our pen lately.
-
Yes. But Hal has been known to fork over for the elite talent-Cole and Judge.
-
Yeah, that pretty much echoes my thoughts.
-
I thought the dumb SOB had more in mind than Giolito. My bad.
-
Dodgers and MFY's.
-
Don't forget that back then we didn't know Giolito was going to be the sole replacement for Sale. If we all knew that at the time, I think the consensus of opinions at the time would have been hugely negative.
-
And tonight we'll be facing Eflin, who the O's picked up at the deadline and who is 3-0 with a 2.33 ERA for them.
-
"Should have known" is a Wicker Man size straw man.
-
That's beside the point of whether this particular trade made sense.
-
The crucial point is that in the 9-4 game, Jansen was brought in in the 8th, when the score was 6-4. I expect Cora's thinking was that since he wouldn't be using Jansen the next game he might as well let him finish off the game in the 9th.
