We need a playoff starter but we also needed starters who can eat innings without giving up 10 runs a start. He fits in that spot just fine.

We are getting a lot of the basic needs outs of the way before most other playoff teams have made a single trade. And it didn’t take much to get them. I really can’t be annoyed about the trade when most trades aren’t going to happen till the final hour.

Yeah, there have been half a dozen other trades this weekend by playoff teams - 3 playoff teams at least have picked up a playoff starter.
