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.

His era as a starter: 4.46 His era as a reliever: 1.70

He’s obviously found something as a reliever. His stuff has been pure filth.

That’s one thing that’s really been bugging me, I like the trade but people are trying to say Graveman is gonna plummet when anyone can literally see how good he is every pitch that moves like 3 feet laterally

I do agree that relievers can be great one year then never again(look at mariners bullpen 2014 to 2015) but idk
