He might be the only one to go.

What are the chances we got anything useful from the Twins?

[KL2]

Not on their top 30

[Motown Bombers]

A 24 year old pitcher in AA who has an ERA north of 7. I think I would have rather just kept Fulmer.

[KL2]

Before everyone gets mad, 24 year Olds who struggle in aa usually turn out great

 

[RatkoVarda]

Other Prospects Of Note from FG

 Gipson-Long, 24, was the club’s sixth rounder in 2019 and has had success in the low minors as a starter, sitting 90-94 with an above-average slider and plenty of strikes.

And all they got was a pitcher with three last names.

Should have taken bregmann

It's like Al's trying - begging to get fired.

His peripherals at Wichita are inflated, but still a FIP of 4.30 or so.

The return on 2 months of Fulmer was never gonna be big, but this seems more underwhelming than expected lol. Time to get a different GM.

team with little to offer gets little in return.  

sounds about right.

[mtutiger]

Still find it funny they managed to find a better prospect for Norris than for Fulmer. 

Wouldn't have guessed that even

I wasn't expecting someone almost 25 who can't even hack it in AA and will likely never even play in the majors. At least give me the erratic hard throwing righty who shows he may have the potential to miss bats.

Yes my expectations were low, but not quite that low.

[Tenacious D]

I wonder if Fetter tried to recruit this cat to Michigan, too.

I believe he dated his sister in college.

[RatkoVarda]

it is like a Moroccan bazar, with all sort of players flying back and forth, and all this dude can do is save Chris a little bit of cash

Did news of the trade leak to Fulmer before the 8th inning last night?
