I bet it's for $1.

Sounds like an over pay. He's literally replacement level.

Pretty much. Turns 31 later this year.  Controllable until 2026.

These are always the guys that pop off for one year like Dane De La Rosa

[Stradling]

So a trade that no one really cares for but makes sense.

So is Watson.

Maybe Selman is a good clubhouse guy.

When he was at AAA Sacramento earlier this year, he bought a bowl of soup for each teammate and also provided 3 multi-person tents and sleeping bags.

Minasian thought the Giants offered some salmon for Watson. He got a RP instead.

Actual question, out of the 8 or so scouts that we have, is someone actually tasked with specifically scouting Selman? Or do we just keep an Excel spreadsheet with all players and stats and just apply a filter and spam some trade offers?

this would have been a better deal than a 30 year old reliever.

I don’t know who those guys are.

I would be happier if it was Cishek that was traded.

Wait, We got three players for Watson?  Really?

Minasian did this in his sleep. Imagine what he could have done if he had been awake!
