We last recorded in between trades, but we break down the Yaz and Doval trades from last week. All in all, the Giants received eight players for the three they traded away, and with Yaz and Rogers being free agents of the end of the year, it made sense to exchange rentals for potential future talent. But, it is weird seeing Yaz in Royal Blue, Rogers in the throwback Mets unis, and Doval in Yankee grey. Posey also played with all three, and he admitted it was tough making that phone call to his former teammates. As far as their performance on the field, they followed up a horrible 0-6 homestand with a 4-2 road record against the same Mets and Pirates. With the focus on the future seasons, no one is holding their breath that the Giants will make a run at the wildcard, a position they solidly held for the entire season until a few weeks ago. That said, it will be a good opportunity to showcase new blood in the majors and minors. Bryce Eldridge is HOT in Sacramento, blasting four bombs in his last three games, but Posey said they aren't rushing him up. And...the first female umpire in MLB history will be working the plate during the second game of a double header this Sunday in Atlanta. It's crazy that this hasn't happened sooner, especially with female officials in the NBA and NFL. We also ponder what happened to LaMonte Wade Jr's ability to hit a baseball, as he was released by the Angels over the weekend. Late night LaMonte might have had his last day in the majors.www.torturecast.com@torturecastfacebook.com/torturecast
