The Clubhouse / Re: Should We Buy or Should We Sell Now - Trade Deadline 2026
« Last post by IdahoNat on Today at 06:58:55 pm »
With all the mid level prospects they acquired at the deadline last year (Josh Randall, Eriq Swan, etc.) I don't see why some of them could be dealt for at least a few adequate relievers. But I'd rather them be aggressive and trade one of their crop of IF prospects for a set-up man or closer. I do wonder if the Cavalli incident might have soured relations with the Red Sox and taken them out of the Aroldis Chapman sweepstakes.

Tuchel must have coached England to defend, again. 4-2.

"Imposible creer!". Impossible to believe, says the Spanish I learned at Mount Rainier JHS and the Northwestern HS.

Rashford, Ivan Toney, and Bukayo Saka. Big stars that Tuchel forgot. Also Eze, another star that Tucel called too late. "Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooal" Saka.

Game?

With a couple of medium relievers and a starter, like Irvin, this is a playoff team. The field lineup is fine. The starting pitching, meaning Cavalli and Griffin, lacks two pitchers. The relievers are a crime against baseball. Forget "the rebuild". The Nats are rebuilt, except for the bullpen. No reason to trade away CJ, Garcia, Keibert, Young, or the rest.
what's interesting is this could be right too.

I'm not even sure you need much more than a couple of relievers. CowherPower's thread about the record after 7 may mean that, even with Littell and Mikolas, the starter/ bulk innings guys who pitch the first 7 innings are adequate.  We have Irvin next week or so, which lets Alvarez push someone else out. So that's 3 upgrades if we deal for 2 relievers.

Of course, we did not bank the wins when we led after 7, so no guarantee that we continue to plie up early leads without a starter or two upgrade.
