I am convinced that Hoyer plays these mind games on purpose. Last year, he held the trade deadline like the Sword of Damocles over the team's head. This year, he trades Leiter and Morel, DFAs Neris, and puts Smyly on waivers.
Hoyer seems to be a man of reactions, slowly moving to correct his prior indecisive moves. I am not thinking that the Paredes move has helped offensively or defensively! Why are they not giving Vasquez an opportunity to play? His glove might really give the Cubs a boost. What do you have to lose as Paredes has really struggled in all facets of play.
