Excitement surrounds the recent moves made by the team at the trade deadline, particularly the addition of José Caballero, who is expected to bring versatility and depth. His ability to play multiple positions, combined with a scrappy playing style, enhances the team's roster. The bullpen has also seen significant upgrades with several capable closing options, including David Bednar, adding quality depth to the pitching staff.

Players expressed a buzz of anticipation during a lengthy rain delay, tracking trade rumors and discussing potential impacts on their performance. The new additions are expected to bolster the team's playoff push as they aim for a successful stretch run towards October.
