Thomas Traded Before Finnegan Blows Big Lead

It was a busy Monday that began with Lane Thomas getting traded to Cleveland and ended with Kyle Finnegan giving up five runs in the bottom of the 9th in Arizona for a gut punch 9-8 loss. Mark (From Phoenix) & Al start with Finnegan, who imploded on the eve of the Trade Deadline, an outing that ended with Corbin Carroll's walk-off 2-run HR. Any surprise that Davey would risk injury to Finnegan due to trade implications?

(15:00) Mitchell Parker bounced back from two rough starts with a decent outing on Monday night. Parker had allowed eleven combined runs in his two previous appearances on the mound.

(18:00) Alex Call, recently called up from AAA, homered in the top of the 1st while taking over for Thomas in RF. Harold Ramirez also had a pair of hits, including a RBI double, while hitting third in the new look order.

(22:00) Thomas was sent to the Guardians in exchange for three prospects. The headliner in the haul is LHP Alex Clemmey, who was taken in the 2nd round last summer. Mark also then explains why Wood is still playing LF after the trade.
