After this game today, I'm almost ready to offer myself as tribute to get a better closer.

Three new arms in the pen is making me tingly.

It can’t be waters. That would suck.

Bowman was early on Greene and he is saying Alex Jackson part of package. Definitely won’t be Jackson AND waters.

So we acquired Green, Melencon, and a catcher from the Diamondbacks. Good times.

Hell yes, a real life MLB bullpen now.

Melancon:
IP- 46.1
WHIP- 1.403
Hasn't had an appearance where he walked multiple people since the end of June. I am hopeful he adjusts to a new home park.

Martin:
IP- 38.0
WHIP- 1.026

Greene:
IP- 38.0
WHIP- 0.868
22/25 in Saves

Very solid upgrades for not much given up. Kolby Allard is the only prospect I'm kind of sad the Braves gave up, but they can deal from depth in the pitching department.

Still have Waters and Pache!

Melancon sucks. Not expecting too much.

I am expecting him to be as good or better than anyone currently in the bullpen.

Yeah... frankly, I figured we were gonna have to part with a lot more to add anything remotely good to the pen... we now have a serviceable at minimum bullpen it would seem... Now we just need the offense to not fall apart with the recent hits to the starting lineup health.

I mean, he has to be better than Luke Jackson, right?

We wanted AA and the front office to make us better, and they saw the weak bullpen and went out and made moves, that’s all we can ask.

Exactly. Ultimately, we needed help, they went out and got some and did it without having to hock the whole damn farm. Tough to complain about the moves honestly. I don't think it will be enough to overtake the Dodgers, but it's not impossible either. I do think it should be enough to get things moving back the right direction and maintain an edge on the division...

Max Fried just unveiled his pick off move and it is nasty. Runner out in a pickle.
