@fishatbat I get that. But the pieces they gave up are too much for Cashner and Rea, Those are pieces to snag a star in a contract year.

@fishstripes @fishatbat idk maybe Rea will be good, but I just see him as a talented underperformer like Archie Bradley and Patrick Corbin

@lgoo15 @fishatbat @fishstripes He is nowhere close to the best RP in the NL.

@lgoo15 @fishatbat Cosart has a higher ceiling? Cosart hasn’t pitcher well in 2 years. At last Rea was good in Double-A last year (MJ)

@fishstripes @fishatbat I just don’t see how this deal improves us. Cosart has higher ceiling than Rea for sure and cashner a rental

@lgoo15 @fishatbat For 30 innings…until he got hurt…and got hurt some more, enough to get TJ surgery. We have no idea who Capps is now

@lgoo15 @fishatbat It’s better than overpaying for overperforming guys (see Rodney, Fernando) (MJ)

@fishstripes @fishatbat last year he was

@lgoo15 @fishatbat Did you just argue that Capps, a pitcher who HASN’T THROWN IN 2016 due to TJ surg, is the best RP in NL? (MJ)

@fishatbat @fishstripes yeah but we really didn’t get much back. 2 underperforming pitchers for top prospect and arguably best RP in NL

@fishatbat I think with the previous dealings of Heaney, Disco, 2nd round comp (Chen), feels like continuation of those failed transactions.

@fishatbat if they want to make a push this is the only deal they could make. No reason to get rid of Yelich/JT
