the semblance of a strong bullpen! 

[angelsnationtalk]

Just noticed that Marcus Stroman (who tweets just about every hour to update where he is breathing), hasn't said anything since yesterday. 

First off, his baby must have been born, which also leads me to believe he won't sign by the deadline. He's likely a December signing. I'd be shocked if there's any Stroman news in the next 15 hours. 

But also could be in negotiation conversations.... hmmmmm

[southpaw]

Keep in mind it is the agent that negotiates for the player and I am sure he can negotiate for him even if Stroman is spending time with his family. I am sure they are communicating .  Part of the process.

Alright some good news !

Hell yeah, we needed this!

Would have sucked to have lost Raisel. 

Now this makes the Loup signing huge. 

Please sign another quality starting pitcher, back up catcher and I'll be happy.

BUTTERCUP CANCELLED !

@Chuckster70 are you going to ask your birdie if there’s any truth to the Correa rumor?  

[Second Base]

Bullpen isn't done yet. They'll need one more reliever in my opinion. Also, one more starter (Stroman) and a backup catcher. That's it.

Arte can avoid fucking up this off season and stay out of the Correa auction. Not getting the targeted pitcher doesn't mean pivot and hamstring the team with another over priced fielder. Fill up the bullpen and get a closer. 

I'm glad someone is in agreement with me.

Agreed. We need at least one more right handed, high leverage arm. Preferably two. And a high quality starter (like Stroman). And a shortstop. And a backup catcher.

This is probably what sank the scherzer deal.

I can almost guarantee you that there isn't any truth to that rumor. 

I'm still waiting for an answer back on why the Ray deal didn't happen. Not really happy about that tbh since I put my neck on the line.
