Okay, a real deal for my Cleveland buddies. Killian throws hard. Canario had monster season in 22. Back from injury. Could be AL Rookie of Year. Wisdom is Pete Alonso light. However, Guardians must give me free tickets to R n R HOF for life.
I don't see anything exciting here. Killian has not had any success at AAA level or the majors and Wisdom is not needed and can't hit.
TA Once again you show your low baseball IQ. Killian had a monster season in AAA two years ago. Wasn’t bad last year. Throws a 98 mph fastball. Ross never gave him a real chance. Same with Canario. Hit 37 hr’s. Had a bad injury, but seems all the way back. For some idiot reason, Ross refused to play young players. Preferred over-the-hill scrubs like himself, i.e., Mancini, Hosmer, Smyly, etc. Wisdom doesn’t always make contact, but the ball travels when he does. I don’t see the Guardians getting a better deal for Bieber, who is one breaking pitch away from TJ surgery.
I guess you are happy with an ERA well over 4 with 59 walks in 106 innings. Every pitcher is potentially one pitch away from TJ surgery. Where does Cleveland play Wisdom? 101 strike outs in 268 at bats. Wow! Feel the free air conditioning. You are just trying to provoke an argument with your name calling as well. I will not stoop to your level.
Temporary Accountant Your problem is you can dish it out but not take it. However, I’m used to Guardians fans who mock other people’s trade proposals. If you like, I can pull up some of your insults, as a reminder. But ad hominem attacks aside, I think Canario is a real get for Cleveland. Killian has had the yips, but was Cy Young in the minors the first half of 22. Wisdom can DH, play first and third, and he’s a power hitter from the right side. You saying you can’t use a guy like that? You know Bieber was not the same pitcher last year after coming off the injured list.. The deal is a gamble like all deals.

Sounds to me like your Cubbies should keep all those fantastic players, and nobody gives a shit if you think that's the best offer Cleveland will get. This is you trying to downplay Bieber's value by suggesting he's "one breaking pitch away from TJ surgery". Yet somehow you're willing to give up this "best package" to get a SP that is an injury waiting to happen. GTFOH with that silliness.
