Is the trade deadline 6pm ET? So 1 hour and 45 minutes left? Yes, 5 PM central time. |

At this point, I feel management fell short in a couple of areas compared to what the main competition is We've done a lot less than the Yankees and Padres, that's for sure. |

At this point, I feel management fell short in a couple of areas compared to what the main competition is I sure don't. 1. Added a solid bat with potential for really good getting him out of Baltimore's giant left field stadium. 2. Added the best catcher we've had since Castro was an AS. 3. Added a veteran lefty reliever with postseason success. 4. Freed up money for next year. 5. Didn't give up any of our top prospects or controllable players. The Yankees added a no-power OFer, a #2 to replace the #2 they're already without, and a reliever to replace one of the two relievers that were already hurt. They basically replaced people they lost during the season and gave up a ton of prospects to do it. |

The Padres are going all in for sure. They still have to get past the Dodgers for any of it to matter.

Smith is posting career-lows across the board and has been worth negative WAR. I can't see it as even a slight positive in terms of this season and the post-season run, barring some kind of miracle turnaround out of nowhere for him. |

He's only allowing a .288 OBP against lefties this year though. His righty splits are bad, which is the bulk of the problem. If they use him actually for lefties, I think he has value. If they continue to not understand how to work matchups, he won't matter. |

Got rid of Odo So Odorizzi leaves with the following production as an Astro: 10-10 (Team was 20-16 in his starts) 4.04 ERA (103 ERA+) 164 IP over two partial seasons. Not great, but not horrible. At least the complaints will end. |

If they handle situations right they can still maximize his value. |

Phillies just DFA'd Jeurys Familia. TBH I'd rather have him than Smith. If they're not going to make a trade for another legit reliever, maybe try to snatch Familia. His .408 BAbip can't last. Still has the good stuff, misses bats, and get ground balls too.
