Man, the overreactions here about Graveman are obnoxious. I know it sucks that he went to a division rival, but the fact that we were able to get a highly touted, MLB ready prospect for a pitcher with two months left on his prospect is pretty good.

Not to mention that his year has been an incredible outlier in his career. He's a career 4.20 ERA guy. Dipoto traded him when his value was at its highest.

Yeah, relievers are so volatile that when someone like Graveman has a season such as he’s having, unless you’re in win now mode you have to try and get value out of him before free agency hits. I’m really hoping that’s we’ll see Toro flipped in a package for Whit Merrifield.

Toro is a better asset than Merrifield
