Damn missed another one. This is bad. I was all set up to pick up on any rumblings of a trade while I watched Yellowstone with my friends Miller and Miller (highlife). Must have fallen asleep around 10:30.

Anyway, YerRasmussen’t sent Turang to Bust for McKinstry. Ugh.

Not to mention I was 11 hours late to tweeting about the one trade that did happen today. I know I was still first, but clearly not a good look for me. May need more trades to happen to save my job!

[Jett Passan @BallBustaMoves]

This has been a horrible deadline. Honestly, a huge chunk of my value to my company @ESPM comes from me getting inside scoop at the deadline. So this is not great for my job security.

Whoops! Torkelson, Montgomery, Javier to All Roads Lead to Roman. youngman pik Yuself off deGrom gets Merrill, Soderstrom, Chapman. This was this morning, my bad. But hey, Noob and Brosenthal didn’t say shit either, so I still win.

[Jett Passan @BallBustaMoves]

Noob drank all but two of these. Weird night.

[Ken Brosenthal @BallBusterBrosy]

Just woke up on the couch at @BallBustaMoves apartment. This was my view

[Jett Passan @BallBustaMoves]

Cracking open some cold ones with Noob and Brosenthal. Love these sweet boys. The beers I mean.

[Jett Passan @BallBustaMoves]

The deal is now official. In a corresponding move, Vladdy designated SP Clay Holmes for assignment.

[Jett Passan @BallBustaMoves]

Sources: Paradeez Nutz and Vald, Vald n Vladdy are close to an agreement that will send standout rookie OF Roman Anthony to Deez in exchange for SS Francisco Lindor, SP Merrill Kelly, and 2B Brandon Lowe.

[Jett Passan @BallBustaMoves]

In Anthony, Deez gets a 2-year keeper with enormous upside. Vladdy gets a trio of contributors to round out their second place roster.

BREAKING: Mookie Monster has traded shortstop Francisco Lindor to Turner Over and Naylor in Diaz for DH J.D. Martinez.

[Jett Passan @BallBustaMoves]

Mookie Monster GM told ESPN that he “didn’t mean to make the trade.” The deal reportedly went through when the GM pushed the wrong button, believing he was tapping “Okay” for a message he was sending explaining why he was not interested in the trade.

@NBightengale You’re a hack, Nob

Mookie Monster (5–9–1) give up their star and namesake in order to get what is widely considered the best keeper option in the league in Carroll, despite him having only one keeper option remaining.
