Mets get Gregory Soto. Hopefully he can do for the Mets what he did for the Phillies - 4.42 ERA and 1.307 WHIP.

Phillies made biggest trade splashes of Dave Dombrowski's reign, but were they enough?

Acquiring an elite closer and right-handed bat look good on the surface, but the Phillies didn't go all in.

Separated by 0.5 games entering home stretch, Phillies and Mets utilize similar trade deadline strategies

The Phillies are 0.5 games back of the Mets heading into August. Which team is in better position to win the National League East?

Kepler!!!

Kepler!!!

The Tigers are starting Flaherty (a righty), so the Fightins are using lefties in CF and LF. Sure, Kepler has underperformed, but starting him in this situation seems sensible.

He’s hitting .196 vs lefties and .205 vs righties so……..

I’m not sure if Bader is with the team yet, but he hits .266 vs righties and .241 vs lefties.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

He’s hitting .196 vs lefties and .205 vs righties so……..

definitely has underperformed.

Bader is hitting .258 overall. His splits this season are .241 vs. lefties, and .266 against righties.

the dreaded 2-out, 3-run HR

The dreaded Casty swinging at ball 4 a foot off the plate.

 

[LB99]

Can’t use a top end closer if you are losing. Maybe another bat should have been targeted? Casty…same ole. Same ole.
