it is amazing how playing on a world series winning team...elevates the perception or value of a player

Bradley jr. and Benintendi from the Red Sox...2018 title

and many of the Cubs from the 2016 title

Somehow Miami is 13 games above .500 with a -8 RD. One of those things isn't sustainable.

If they regress hard maybe you can pry Soler from them. Otherwise that's not happening.

SF is still 6 over .500 and in the last WC spot. They just went 3-7. Behind them are some bad teams though. Getting Pederson will take them having a bad month.

With the trade deadline looming it's always fun to play arm chair GM… but I'm curious what are moves you wanted us to make in the past that would have been HORRIBLE.

For example: once Correa left after 2021, I really wanted us to sign Kris Bryant and move Bregman to short. I also thought trading for Sonny Gray at the 2017 deadline would be a "game changer"

---

It's pretty crazy how none of the "big" deals we missed out on look great in hindsight. Maybe Cole would have been a good keep but the rest? It's pretty apparent paying for past performance doesn't get you a ton anymore.

---

While not a big deal, I think the biggest "miss" was not bringing back Charlie Morton. Especially given we faced him and lost to him twice in back to back postseasons. He would have been cheap and IMO we win the 2020 World Series if he's on our team and not Tampa. He went 2-0 against us in that ALCS with 11 shutout innings.

Does anyone remember the details on Morton and why we couldn't keep him over Tampa. Did we think he was too injury prone or something, I can't recall but yeah, we likely win in '20 with him.

Maldy is playing through a hand injury right now. We may see a little less of him over the next couple weeks.

He could have that hand amputated and Dusty would still start him.
