Looking back at this thread, I still am ok with what we did. Yes, Mears isn’t ready for a pressure set up role as of yet but I do like the arm and the control. When factoring in a possible Devin trade in the offseason, getting this guy now rather than paying a Junis type 1/7 is fine.
Montas is showing leadership and guts imo. He seems like he is taking on a Wade Miley type role that the starting staff needed. Wiemer is showing to be a nothing loss and if anything it might be nice that we don’t afford him opportunities on our squad anymore and simply move on (I don’t mean for that to sound harsh like it might).
Im very happy we didn’t overpay for Fedde. The last two days of the deadline it appeared it might be us or the cards as the final two for Fedde. Glad he went there and we kept our prospects by and large and solved our rotation spot with Montas (who I’d look into potentially resigning at a contract closer to half his 2024 salary next year).
To win the division this year without sacrificing prime prospects, this was a good deadline.
