He was hit very hard too was more lucky than anything to close it

Very positive things from Jacob

Agree but Bendix paying $7M per 1 WAR is anathema to how Bendix runs his shop (he’d rather pay $3M for -.6 WAR)

Will be curious what they pick up the club option for Sandy . $21M is a lot for a ~3 WAR SP in Bendix world, but Sherman did say he’s not trading him

Luzardo trade was trading a top 5 SP for a utility IF to save $7M. people hate jazz here but the Yankees absolutely slaughtered the marlins on the trade WAR wise. Trevor rogers has more WAR than Stowers since the trade and it was for Norby anyway. Victor mesa is destroying it for the rays. This team has literally 2 actual starting pitchers for about 2 months now. Bendix has literally not signed a single FA that has produced positive value. They sold at the deadline. There are absolutely some positive things and this draft class looks promising and we have some injured young SPs coming back (still unknowns), but the aggregate moves are pretty lackluster to absolutely mind boggling (Luzardo). This is really not a fun team to watch and hasn’t been for months, and maybe it works if in 2028/29, but the cumulative effect of trading elite guys to save salary and having the season be a never ending spring training is getting very old

:(

This team is regressing and he trades all his good players. Why should I be excited about this trash?

imagine rostering Cade Gibson

Lmao trading lake for vodnick. I’m sorry but Bendix is pretty mid

This is what happens when you have only 2 actual SP rostered

Rock bottom this series. Having absolutely no pitching depth and signing trash FA really caught up with them

Morel dong lmao. Fitting end

In the Luzardo trade thread, it made no sense why they traded them then besides saving on his salary that year. The return at the time looked very flimsy even at the time, and now it looks absolutely terrible. I personally had no issue with jazz shenanigans and at least he had a personality. Getting negative value guys back for him is pretty unacceptable though. Bendix has had his hits, but he’s always whiffed pretty massively on a lot

True and Recent fish history I was being dramatic after a few glasses of wine and luzardso CGSO

Amazing how many of us were correct in this one and how Bruce trying save $7M for a prospect with utility IF ceiling cost us a top 5 SP and probably a playoff spot two years in a row

Turning out to be one of the worst trades in fish history

Jazz trade and Luzardo trade are absolutely flops at this point. Those two guys together have like 16 WAR between them since traded and the guys they got back are well into the negatives.

Iineup tonight was atrocious

Swapping hicks for Gus Ramirez just incredible stuff

Lmao

Unless they end up 10 under or something down stretch here, overall a positive season. It’s frustrating what could have been though if team had invested and acquired some impact players instead of paddack, morel, and Leo.

What a perfect ending

Good lord that Luzardo trade is looking worse and worse. Guy is a top 5 arm. Sometimes Bendix really does stupid shit

Just shut eury down. Absolutely no command with his breaking stuff for a month now

Infield in costs them again
