This is a big one.
Pairing Cole with Verlander is going to cause some problems for everyone in the KML. Here it is:
Dogs send Gerrit Cole (16.75/2023), Adam Duvall (350/2023), Nick Allen (1.25/2025), Yermin Mercedes (450/2024), Dogs 4th next year, Dogs 12th next year to Rougarou for Rougarou 1st next year, Rougarou 2nd next year, Alex Wood (4/2023), Angel Pagan (2/2023), Matt Barnes (2.5/2023), and Enrique Hernandez (2/2023)
Breaks my heart a little bit to give up on the season. But Cole deserves an actual playoff chase instead of ‘fan fiction’ as
@thebuland so eloquently said the other day.
Rougarou agree. Some in our front office don't like this trade but the bossman says "We don't need no picks, there is a pennant to be captured!"
Emelio Pagan, not Angel Pagan.
Angel has been retired for several years :)
