Colorado pitching staff is bad.
At least we had our pitching staff carrying us, while our o plummeted.

Evan Longoria Trade Turning into $80M Disaster for Giants
Even after the San Francisco Giants had first traded for Evan Longoria in December 2017, it was easy to wonder how long it would be before they had cause to regret it.

Just about six months, as it turns out.

Longoria hasn't been on the field for the Giants since June 14, when he broke his left hand on a hit-by-pitch. And up until then, the 32-year-old third baseman had just a .711 OPS, 10 home runs and, according to Baseball Reference, 0.3 wins above replacement.

The positive spin here is that there are bigger disasters than this elsewhere in Major League Baseball.

Sources: Dodgers agree with top international prospect

The Dodgers are expected to acquire at least one reliever between now and the non-waiver Trade Deadline on July 31, and sources say they've had preliminary dialogue with the Marlins about their power arms, including Kyle Barraclough, Adam Conley, and Drew Steckenrider.

No trade is close, sources say, but the fit is undeniable: Few sellers can compare with the Marlins' volume of effective, controllable relievers.

Dodgers acquire Cincinnati reliever Dylan Floro to bolster bullpen

"If the current trend continues and the Rockies don’t contend for the playoffs, then I think it becomes highly unlikely that Arenado will consider staying in Colorado. If that is the case, then yes, the Rockies should at least explore an Arenado trade over the winter, or certainly next summer.
It pains me to write this, because I love watching Arenado play, but I don’t think his long-term future is in Colorado."

Saunders is probably right. The safe bet is on Colorado keeping Arenado at least through this season and then considering a trade in the offseason or next year at the deadline, when he'd be an expensive rental.

That said, if the Rockies make him available now, they could net a ludicrous prospect haul.

The Dodgers win, 6-4. They are 47-39. They outscored the Pirates, 31-8, in this three-game sweep. Rich Hill ran like the wind.
