At the trade deadline last year those were their odds at the postseason, roughly. Check fangraphs. It’s not a great shot, but it’s not nothing either.1/3 shot at the postseason? What?
As I keep reminding people who are addicted to the “Bloom doesn’t have a plan” narrative, Carlos Rondon and Wilson Contreras were much bigger trade chips, on teams with far bleaker playoff hopes, and they were not traded either. Which would lead one to assume that there wasn’t much of a market for free-agents-to-be. But, narrative gonna narrative.
