State of the Team

The team now sits at 76-34, just 7-9 since the All-Star Break. This is not unexpected entirely as multiple important pieces just returned from the injured list and will need time to find their footing again.

The team's AL Ranks:

Runs Scored: 1st
OPS: 1st
Runs Allowed: 1st
ERA: 1st
SP ERA: 1st
RP ERA: 12th
Defensive Efficiency: 1st
Zone Rating: 1st

News Dump

We made two trades at the trade deadline, both to address the bullpen. They were win-now moves that set the team up for the playoffs this year, but will cause us to need to look outside the organization for more relief pieces this winter.

Trade 1: New York Mets

Outbound: RP Jakob Hernandez (4.0, 4.0), SS Yordys Valdes (2.5, 2.5)

Inbound: RP Andres Munoz (4.5, 5.0) (100% Retained), RP Aaron Loup (3.0, 3.0) (65% Retained), SP Tylor Megill (2.5, 2.5)

Hernandez had been struggling with the long-ball this year and was very highly valued by the Mets, so I took advantage even though I may have overpaid for two rental relievers. Munoz gives me another legitimate weapon at the back end of the bullpen, while Loup fills the spot of the lefty reliever I was looking for with Hernandez out of the fold. Both are rentals. I asked for Megill for controllable SP depth in the minors and the fact that he could profile into a reliever if needed. Valdes was necessary to get the deal done and was expendable with my glove-first bench-profile SS depth. In a corresponding move, RP Marlon Perez was optioned to AAA Columbus.

Trade 2: Cincinnati Reds

Outbound: RP David Bednar (3.5, 3.5)

Inbound: RP A.J. Puk (3.5, 3.5) (100% Retained), 1B Alberto Osuna (1.5, 2.0)

With Perez also struggling, I wanted another lefty to add length to the pen and shore up any handedness weaknesses. Bednar had been struggling in AAA and was likely to be non-tendered this offseason, so I found the opportunity to ship him off to re-acquire Puk. My acquisition of Puk this time is much more realistic with what should be expected of him, as he can now easily slide into the bullpen. In a corresponding move, RP Lenny Torres was optioned to AAA Columbus.

1B J.C. Correa returned from the injured list as well. In a corresponding move, C Bo Naylor was optioned to AAA Columbus.

SS Carlos Correa went to the injured list with a strained oblique, but he will return in the minimum 10 days. In a corresponding move, SS Willi Castro (2.0, 2.0) was promoted from AAA Columbus.
