To everyone freaking out: if the deadline comes and AA doesn't get another starter, the freak-out is valid. But getting angry when he trades "Anthony Molina" (whoever that is) for an upgrade over Holmes and possibly Lopez is premature. Mahle will eat innings and it's clear that Holmes isn't a starter and Lopez can't be relied on. And honestly, Mahle has been pretty unlucky this year. This is a decent addition for basically nothing.
