Franklin Arias two-run home run.
The Boston Red Sox prospect is now hitting .324 (1.003 OPS) with three home runs and nine RBI since being promoted to Triple-A.
I'm not hoping for injuries obviously, but I hope there's a way we see some of our young arms starting games this year just to see what we have.
Thinking mainly about Forret, German, and some more of Gibson.
I'd prefer to not see them out of the bullpen though (unless we view them as relievers long-term) because I think that's just a much different animal than starting, especially for young guys that haven't done it before.
This deadline would feel so much better if we were a few games worse, or the AL was just a few games better.
I honestly really like the returns for Wells and Adley (Ward is whatever lottery chips, sure), but just knowing we could have competed a bit with a piece or two just hurts.
For all of the talk this week about controllable players being available, Mason Miller, Hunter Greene, Hunter Goodman, Zach Neto, CJ Abrams, Reid Detmers, George Kirby, Otto Lopez, Jeremy Pena and Emerson Hancock were among the players NOT traded before the Deadline.
