Umm, why would Lamet be really good last year? His hard hit rate this year is 50%! His fly ball rates are way up, strikeouts down. There's no reason at all to think he's turned it around. And he's already ARB 3 next season, they probably won't even tender him

Agreed. It was like 69 innings and he's done nothing since. Also, he's already making about 4.7 mil in ARB 2, probably because of that year (in part). Will they even tender him at ARB 3? I doubt it

Sounds very homer-ish to me. I'm not a fan of the trade. They didn't get any of Gore, Abrams, Hassell, Campusano, Wood, or Merrill. Rogers: decent for sure, but a FA after this season Lamet: obviously everyone loved his upside at one point, but he's constantly hurt, his hard hit and fly ball rates are through the roof this season, and he's already ARB 3 next year Ruiz: yes he had a nice start to his MLB career and he steals a ton of bases, but he's not been considered a top tier prospect before Gasser: ya he's in their top ten but he throws mid to low 90s and is a 23 year old in high A, he's got talent but we'll see To me, even with closers not being worth that much compared to other positions, you have to get one of the Dads' best prospects in return. I really don't care about Rogers and Lamet (Lamet is a shell of his former self, a 50% hard hit rate lol, no thanks). Just not a good deal imo.
