Trade Deadline Aftermath

Well, that was underwhelming. In this Mid-Week Review our hagglers discuss the trades of Jorge Soler, Alex Cobb, the acquisition of Mark Canha and the promotions of Marco Luciano and Hayden Birdsong. Also what do all of these moves mean for the rest of the roster, especially Thairo Estrada and Wilmer Flores?
