I'm stepping in for Tim Dierkes on this week's MLBTR Mailbag once again. In this week's post-deadline edition, we'll look at the Giants, , some likely offseason trade candidates, the Orioles' bullpen decisions at the deadline, some of the Athletics' latest trade returns, the Pirates' deadline moves, the Marlins "everything Michael Pineda Jersey must go" sale, 's Cy Young chances, the Angels' deadline deals and more. Adrian R. asks: Why does Farhan Zaidi continually nibble at the margins, like at this trade deadline, and not cash in valuable trade a sets for a pending free agent/opt out like Blake Snell? Is Farhan Zaidi really the smartest guy in the room as he likes to think of himself?
