Harris gets roasted by Fangraphs as well. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/eduardo-rodriguez-dylan-cease-and-the-trades-that-didnt-happen/

He's only at A+ though. Why move Sands to AA? We must have been getting a AAA catcher to replace Sands and Faedo would have replaced Erod in the rotation today.

Hunter Feduccia #30 prospect lefty hitting catcher with a .413 OBP at AAA would be my guess just for fun.

The offseason is going to be his next big test and after the trade deadline I'm not sure he's going to get a passing grade. He said from the beginning he would hire a GM. I think he should do that now. Two heads are better than one.

We're all going to wish he was traded when he has shoulder discomfort next month. Isn't Harris' strategy just Moneyball? Look, a guy with a high OBP! What position does he play? None. We'll take him!

It's definitely on Harris, but I do think it's in bad taste for LA to reveal the deal. They want to make themselves look good by making Harris look bad but it also makes it seem like the player is the bad guy. Maybe that's one of the reasons Erod doesn't want to go there. They will throw people under the bus to make themselves look good. I used to have a boss like that and of course he got promoted by blaming things on everyone else. Not very professional on LA's part.

I think he will opt out and we will get nothing but we can let everyone choose a potential outcome and whoever is right can pat themselves on the back on multiple threads all next year.

Harris failed. He has egg on his face. LA threw him under the bus by leaking the failed trade. The other GMs are laughing at him and his high asking price. Best case scenario, he trades Erod for young talent. Worst case, Erod gets hurt and the Tigers are stuck paying him. Most likely case, he opts out and the Tigers get nothing. I'll give him a pass on Cisnero and Shreve because you try and trade 'em but he had to get someone for Erod. Now the Tigers have all the risk of Avila's stupid contract and none of the reward. From what Harris said, it sounds like they will wait for the offseason to determine what happens. There won't be any negotiations about the opt out.

I think Erod opts out and much like Chafin, is disappointed in the market for his services. There are a lot of free agent starters this year.

Scott Harris failed today. Hopefully he finds a good GM to hire before the offseason.

Is it just me or does this reflect poorly on Harris?

Cue Al Avila laughing.

I like the fake trade a lot more than the real trade.

Is Lee basically a younger Wenceel Perez?

Might as well try Vierling at third.

Holy ****!

Hinch is giggling.

Because emotions!

Is Acuna the only top 100 prospect traded so far?

They would need a whole wall just for Javy Baez.

I still want someone to punch Berti in the face.
