I really believe Oli was sending a message to Mo on Friday by leaving Mikolas in as ball after ball left Wrigley. It seemed as if he was saying "get us some real pitching".

Anyone with a brain knew Fedde should've been traded last winter. Even if it was for lower prospect(s). But Mo in his typical way did a half-[ashed] job with the rebuild. He sat around all winter and did nothing except let Goldschmidt, Kittredge, and Gibson walk. That took no effort. He orchestrated an Arenado trade to a team he didn't want to go to. Good grief, Mo is an incompetent clown.

agree to all ^
and add Helsley as a guy that should have been traded over the winter

Fedde's been hot garbage the past month, but I'm willing to say that he could be fixed if he worked at it. Mikolas is a lost cause. Mikolas has been a lost cause for close to three seasons now. Mikolas will continue to be a lost cause. And he's also dumber than a sack of hammers but is convinced that he's not.

Also lost in this shuffle is this--King needs to GO. Talk about a gas can. Problem is that there's not one lefty reliever in Memphis to replace him. I guess we could think about Mathews getting exposed to the bigs in the bullpen, but I definitely hate that idea. Maybe some of the new braintrust can serve up a decent waiver claim or something. But King needs to be gone.
