Brutal trade deadline for my team. Helsley will not be the closer for the Mets. Same with Shelby Miller for the Brewers. Damn.

I was torn on how to approach the supplemental. I have a lot of offensive (take that anyway you want) players that have flexibility, so I can move them around and fill my lineup day to day. Contreras, Burleson, Edman, Donavan, Gorman all create good options at all IF, C, and OF spots. The issue is none possess the power/RBI I need. when I looked at my pitching corp it became obvious this is where I needed help. Helsley and Shelby Miller were providing saves but Miller is probably lost for the season now. No one else on my roster had more than 3 saves. Megill should solidify that. Rodon was a no brainer. Consistent top of the rotation guy to pair with Sonny Gray. Adds the strikeouts I lack. Hopefully Alcantara gets traded to a c tend or and has a solid second half. It would give me a pretty good rotation to compete with some of you bums.

2.07 - Carlos Rodon, P, NYY

Trevor Megill, P, MIL

Painful….. just telling myself I am tanking for the supplemental.

I’m not sure this counts because he just became available to me in 2024 but Sonny Gray Cardinals A’s Yankees Reds Twins
