Wasn't expecting us to make a big deal, was just expecting us to make more than one moderate deal.

I hear ya. We were just talking the other day about the Fred McGriff deal in ‘93. 15-year-old Hot Carl was super excited. I’m forgetting some of the other big deals we’ve made at the deadline over the years. They’re always so exciting. But zero of them led to us winning the World Series that year (Joc/Eddie/Soler were great in hindsight, but pretty “meh” at the time).

I agree that it made today a lot less fun, but with a little time, I think we’ll be glad that we added a decent or piece while holding onto Grissom, AJSS and co. Try looking at it like we “added” Grissom for free since he’ll be up soon.

Of course, I’m talking out of both sides of my mouth as I was the main one on here pounding the table to go all in to make sure we didn’t waste what’s likely to be our best team in this window. So don’t listen to me. I can talk myself into anything.
