Feel free to share how you felt during that/those moment(s) and where you were.

I was at a local beer garden watching the game with Bailey. Every time we pass by, she insists that we stop by for a beer. Good call by the pup that night.

Y’all are crazy for knowing that but good call!

It's hard to envision a trade between these two teams, especially a player of Ketel Marte's caliber, because there just is not much of a track record. I'd guess that if Arizona trades Marte, there is no way they want to see him stay within the division.

...I don't know if I like how Suárez will age. Though, he could be solid for the next several years. He doesn't throw hard and does not miss bats with his fastball. Knows how to pitch, which tends to age well. If the others are off the table, I would just pass on Gallen.

King does not have quite the track record as some of the others, so I don't think he will cost nearly as much. Plus, his arm has low mileage. Valdez is a good fit for the Giants, if you take out that catcher cross up, which is hard to do...

With how much work the bullpen needs, I feel like investing in a high-priced closer is like buying a card that has no tires.

...that interested in signing one of those closers. The bullpen needs a lot of work, and I think the bigger issue is figuring out who will get the ball before the 9th inning. There are still several relievers with closer experience they could add once they figured that out.

It's a good channel to find a role player for sure. To your point, you won't often find a well-rounded player. They day 1-2 things well, and a team feels like they can leverage those skills.

Shared this on the other site, but Spencer is an easy person to root for. Big arm, too.

The MiLB phase of the Rule 5 draft takes place after that. Eligible players are not typically made public, and teams retain the rights to that player when they are drafted.
