This move only removes Swanson from the major league club of which hardly got used in the playoffs.
Jerry does it again, he is on a roll!
I agree, he was great during the year but hardly used in the playoffs which was a head scratcher. This move speaks loudly to why he wasn't used, just not sure why.Swanson spent most of the season with an ERA below 1.00. But relievers are pretty volatile from year to year. Just look at Steckenrider from 21 to last year. Good move for Hernandez.
It's a good trade, if Teo doesn't get intimidated by our rather large ballpark like Winker did, and several acquisitions before him. So, I give the trade a B. We were already right-handed heavy in the middle of the lineup and now even moreso. Still need a lefty powerhitter.Sucks losing Swanson if Seattle doesn’t get lefty bullpen arm but you have to give this an A. You got Hernandez and didn’t have to give up Flexen
Not a huge sample size but he hit .357 with three homers and seven doubles in 16 career games at T-Mobile Park.It's a good trade, if Teo doesn't get intimidated by our rather large ballpark like Winker did, and several acquisitions before him.

I read earlier in the week when rumors were flying about him coming here that he has one of the better hard hit rates in baseball. Strikes out a lot, but when hit it goes. Like it. Now go get Nimmo for LF and trade Flexen and ? for a stud 2B.
I hear but are there even left handed power bars available? With some of the new rules going into next year I am hoping the analytics people die off and don’t worry so much about power.It's a good trade, if Teo doesn't get intimidated by our rather large ballpark like Winker did, and several acquisitions before him.
