System Sundays: Wrapping up the Deadline Deals and Other Notes

Morning, all. Hell of a game last night, eh?

You know, I completely understand Tommy Pham being traded on an intellectual level. The eye issues, the age, the complicating factors of the other outfielders on the club, all those things combined to create a situation in which Pham was by far the easiest move to make in trying to open up space for Harrison Bader and Tyler O’Neill to get more playing time. On an emotional level, though, I have to admit that seeing Pham dealt and being stuck watching Marcell Ozuna continue to wear a Cardinal uniform is.
