Probably gave up nothing.

Better then nothing. Era is pretty bad

He could also be moving to the bullpen.

This is a bad trade. Dude has never been good

This is more about just getting to the playoffs in one piece. He costs basically nothing in both prospect capital and money, and will be a FA at the end of the season.

It’s not like this stops us from doing something we actually need to do.

Well next time he pitches better not hope for 5 runs in 4 innings. I get your point though

Paddack? Is Tin Tin a player to be named later?

Scratch that. I have no idea who we traded.

My guess hes going to be a spot starter.

Not a fan of this deal.

Who?

Enrique Jimenez heading to Minnesota. For real.

We traded our #14 prospect for an average rental SP and a slapdick reliever.

Yet somehow, we also can’t be “aggresive” to get Suarez.

â– â– â– â–  this.

I still think I’m higher than most on getting Paddack, but the rest of this deal kind of sucks.

And if this is all we do this deadline, I’m not going to be as happy.

Should Paddack be part of the rotation…the last time he pitched was the 23rd. We could see him soon.

Paddack pitched the Sunday Night Baseball game we played against them when Skubal went off.

Paddack pitched in relief a couple years ago for the Twins in the playoffs. He was electric in that role.

Once upon a time he was a very highly ranked prospect. If we do start him then maybe Fetter can bring out a better version of him.

I really like him in a relief role though.

I have no problem giving up Jiminez.

Mid reliever is all he is.

Really doesnt do much for me. More pitching chaos for Hinch. Thats about it.
