When is Severino and Montgomery due back????? I know that there should be low expectations for both coming back, but it is some help. I'm hoping we're not falling back on their return. I mean, if Deivi Garcia keeps it up, why not give him a shot as well???
Unfortunately, there just aren't many options for top 3 pitchers on the market this season. I have no idea why Cashman didn't just get Keuschel for the cash when we had the chance.
Now, I'd give up a combination of Frazier, Bird, Andujar, Abreu, Florial, Cessa, Adams and/or Wade to bring back a top 3 pitcher, and it will take something like that to get it done. All of those dudes are now expendable, as we've seen this season. If I'm Cashman and the opportunity to get that top 3 starter is on the table, I'd do it and won't think twice about it. We are that close to competing with Houston, the Dodgers and the Braves for the World Series.
Stroman has been good this year. He is that number 3 starter that is worth trading for. Who knows what Severino or Montgomery willl be like when they get back and Delvi Garcia is going to be close to a pitching limit and won't be used by us in any significant way.
