Until about a month ago, I did not know that Singer was signed through next year. I thought that they were both in their FA seasons. This trade is becoming a blowout. India had nowhere to play on this roster and not mentioned in the article is that Lux is hitting .271. A different trade, but he was India's replacement.

Neither. India is still under team control in arb next year.

But yeah, it has been a good trade. A reliable league average starting pitcher to be your #4 or #5 is certainly always a nice add.

Lux is hitting .271 but he's also a LF/DH on pace to hit 6-ish HR in a full year despite being in GABP. Interesting to note that Lux and India are both currently -0.1 bWAR players. I also don't think I would agree with considering him India's replacement, because I don't think India was ever going to be our DH or (terrible) LF which are Lux's two primary positions. It makes Lux look like way better of an add than he has been despite him being quite bad.

Hell yeah Steer!

Also when's the last time we had two ground-rule doubles in the same game?
