Let me guess, abbell wasn't that good anyways right?
Ah yes, it's almost as if i didn't call him being the trade chip all season....
Oh and Mick Abel another good start. Kid is better than expected. 2.21 ERA through 4 MLB starts. Looking like good trade material though, it's not like hed crack the rotation come playoff time and if they're win now you dont want a rookie coming outta your pen.
Yes, possibly. Abel is only getting starts right now because of Nola's absence and how unpredictable Walker can be. And also because its a great way to showcase him and increase his trade value (likely the real reason tbh). They like a 6 man rotation anyway during the season. But with that said...Abel has been pretty dang good and has certainly improved his trade value.
But they didnt have to move Painter. Not that they would ever consider moving him for anything less than a star. That's the best part. 👏🔥
