Puig is awesome. I’ll be following him since he will finally get a full season in an uncrowded OF. Dodgersnhad like 8 MLB OFers on roster lol.

I'd hate losing Trammell, but yeah. That's a contending team right there.

Well, other fans will mostly have heard of our starting pitchers. We’ll see how all of these guys handle this tough division and small GABP

Be nice to see an 80 win team

Reds have Sonny Gray

Now when you face the Reds, you’ll have heard of our starters. I wish it were 2015 for the 3 starters but the Reds are better.

Excellent. Sounds like they’ve got him signed to an extension, too. 

The other player they got with him seems decent too.

Gray extension with #Reds complete, per source. Three years, $30.5M, covering 2020-22. Club option for ‘23 at $12M. All salaries can grow based on numerous escalators. Plus $500K of innings pitched bonuses each year.

LOVE this trade now.

2015 Sonny Gray 3rd in CY voting

2016 Tanner Roark 10th in CY voting

2017 Alex Wood 9th in CY voting

Could be big...at worst seeing less of the bullpen.

They got him to sign an extension? Hell yes. All I kept reading was how this was just a loaner basically.

Assuming Castillo and descalfani will be the other two starters? That ain’t bad. Just sucks the Central is so loaded.

I agree with that article. Would go 6 to midnight if they got Pollock and Kluber.

Pollock would make them a contender IMO, Kluber would make the central go “aw hell”
