Sean Marshall traded: T Wood +prospects Sappelt &Torreys p21

Good trade for us. I liked it when the 'Wood for Marshall' rumors were spreading. I'm optimistic about Torreyes' future and eventually being a solid option for the top of the order. Sad to see Marshall go - he's a good person and player so hopefully Dusty doesn't ruin him.

Dusty won't ruin him, he'll just use him as a LOOGY.

Maybe dusty wont ruin him, just his value. Then we'll sign him back next offseason to a team friendly contract haha

I think Theo has channeled his inner Ricky Bobby. "If you ain't first, you're last." By the way, Levine kind of floated a package from Toronto for Garza, although he certainly has no clue as to who the centerpiece would be. He mentioned Deck McGuire as the centerpiece, Jake Marisnick, and Justin Nicolino. Personally, I like it a lot. But, if the Yanks offered Montero and one of Banuelos or Betances, I'm not sure which I'd take. Montero is certainly the best prospect, but I think Nicolino is right there potential-wise with either of the Yankee pitchers, just further away. It'd come down to whether Marisnick and McGuire is worth more than Montero. I guess I doubt it is, but it's close for me at least. Replace McGuire with Syndergaard or Hutchison and I'd take the Jays deal.

 

With the Yankees, I'd want Montero and one of Banuelos or Betances and they wouldn't do that for Danks who's younger, a lefty, and I hate to say it but overall better so they won't do it for Garza. I know that Garza has an extra year under team control but I'm sure that the Yankees would have no trouble extending either one.

Random, and I haven't looked into it, but I saw someone on the Reds board say that Sappelt was playing through injury during his call-up last year.

THT has a brief take on the trade:

Some juicy quotes:

 

I think he [Wood]'s more than a 2 WAR pitcher in the upcoming season as he's stretched out and given a safe rotation spot.

 

This is a big overpay.
