Fuuuuuuuck

[toonsterwu]

Holy crap. really? Ruiz and Gray? Can't blame the Nationals. Curious on the mid-range prospects as well.

 

Holy crap that's a deal.

[toonsterwu]

C'mon down AJ Preller- there's still Kimbrel and Bryant. Hell, we'll give them to you and take Hosmer if you give us two of your big 3 young talents.

[minnesotacubsfan]

I want all three

[17 Seconds]

who are the 3 big SD guys that we'd want?

[Tryptamine]

Abrams, Hassell, Gore, Campusano

Abrams, Campusano & Hassell

 

Gore might be broken.

[toonsterwu]

Well, I was really thinking of just Gore, Hassell, and Abrams.

 

That said, if I'm being honest, if this is the one time that AJ Preller shows restraint, then good for him. His moves only work if he keeps enough young talent in the system, particularly the elite chips, and those three have big ceilings. Abrams might be ready next year at this rate (more mid-end of the year, but still).

 

Edit: It's fair that Gore might be broken, but I'd still take a shot at it. The talent was too enticing in 2019, so I'd still take it for a spin. Campusano should be up there as well. Slipped my mind earlier.

If they were to get all three In that trade, I'd be walking up to Contreras, Baez AND Hendricks saying "hey guys, who wants to go to TB?

 

Just blow it up, stack the minors

I realized that, I am just greedy. I want alllll the prospects. How desperate is SD?

Hassell is the only guy I’m really that interested in, in the rumored Hosmer deal. Abrams, Campusano and Gore all have some warts for the risk of taking on Hosmer/giving up KB/Kimbrel or whatever as well.

Abrams has plenty of time to get stronger. I prefer Hassell, too, but I'd want both in any really major deal.

 

All the Mets guys we've been talking about are whiffing 28%+. There are very few perfect prospects out there.

Post Schwarber deal so.... :dontknow:

Soto might as well take the rest of the season off at this rate

[Derwood]

Nationals fire sale is real and it is spectacular

[toonsterwu]

I really like Carrillo in that trade as well.

 

You know what's sort of comical about the Nationals fire sale/rebuild? It's that, after spending (somewhat recklessly) to keep their window open, their next window is roughly the same time as the Orioles right now, who tanked hard for two years. Instead of waiting too late to deal Trea Turner (or committing a huge sum of years and money to Turner), they dealt him early enough, to get quality talent (witness the Orioles return on Machado).

 

Now, like the Orioles, they have two upper level SP arms that are intriguing (Hall/Rodriguez for Orioles, Cavalli/Gray for Nationals). Orioles have Rustchmann ... but Nationals have, and are trying to convince him to stay, Soto. Orioles positional depth chart is a bit deeper, but adding Ruiz starts to balance the ledger for the Nationals in that regards.

 

Really, their windows (probably attempting to start it in 2 years) are about the same.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a Lester retirement coming soon. Doesn’t want to miss any part of hunting season.

[toonsterwu]

Nationals ended up getting Mason Thompson for Hudson. An intriguing power pen arm type, but supposedly Padres fans are upset about losing Thompson, which I find ridiculous when your window is now. I don't think that much of Hudson, but he helps their pen.

The Nats got jack horsefeathers for Schwarber.

Eh. Aldo Ramirez is a nice young arm who has hit A+. May not have the highest ceiling in the world, but there's velocity and solid secondary pitches. It looks like he's improved this year with his secondary consistency. He just turned 20 is having a strong season in Salem. Could definitely see him get a justifiable bump up a level, and he could be in AA next year at some point. I think soxprospects analysis is correct - more end of the rotation possibility, with a chance that at his age and development, he might have a mid-rotation ceiling if all the dominoes fell correctly.

 

Thing is, Schwarber's on a mutual option that he's likely to decline in an effort to get a long term deal. So, it's a rental, and for a guy who is hurt right now. The more I think about it, the more I think it's actually relatively solid.

The main thing I like about the Dodgers-Nats trade is that it makes it much more likely that Seager will be available in the FA market this winter.
