2022 Trade Deadline

[tspain]

Mets acquire Tyler Naquin and Phillip Diehl from Reds for Hector Rodriquez and Jose Acuna.

[Tryptamine]

The 'can't blame them after PCA' rhetoric is gonna drive me to scream into a pillow. You got Javier Baez who put up 2 fWAR in 50 high leverage games! You also got Trevor Williams who has a 3.30 ERA in 90 IP and continues to contribute! That's how deadline trades work, you sacrifice value tomorrow for value today! Having buyer's remorse about this is just admitting you're mad you didn't rip the other team off.

 

I think it's less this exactly and more that their farm system doesn't have a ton of appeal if Alavrez and Baty (who can get them into non-rental star trades) are off the table for rentals. The next most appealing player is like Khalil Lee, and you'd hope to be able to land him for one of the relievers or Ortega rather than Contreras

 

I think Ramirez is very appealing and I'd love him as lead piece.

It's not Dylan Moore but what a fleece by the Reds

FWIW Toronto radio was talking about all the Cubs scouts at Jays minor league facilities today.

I feel like that was a huge overpay for a mariners team that's at least into next year until they are truly threatening

[Post Count Padder]

That's a hell of a haul for Cincy.

Their playoff drought is nearly old enough to drink, the rules are a little different for them

Doesnt Castillo have another year of control anyway?

One more year of arbitration. Free agent in 2024.

[NOLA]

Good for him. Imagine being told you’re leaving Cincinnati for Seattle.

Shoot for the moon, baby. I know he only mentions that those teams "would fit" but I doubt the Rays are in on him.

[Cubswin11]

The Rockies just gave 38 year old Daniel Bard a 2 year ~$19 million extension.

Fantastic, should make teams more interested in Robertson and Givens

[Bertz]

 

 

Starting to wonder if Willson doesn't finish the SF series

[Bertz]

 

Even if we agree that the value is right, I don't love this fit. A 1B who could be called up immediately is great, but yet another RH bat low on contact for an org with a ton of those already

[We Got The Whole 9]

If Mervis keeps his Ks in check then he should be given 1B. We badly need LHB.

[Bobson Dugnutt]

Yeah I want nothing to do with Vientos and his 30+ k-rate/bad glove. I’ll take Mervis’ profile over his all day.

I'm not a big Vientos fan, but I don't think we should be quick to be so picky about someone being better than Mervis. For one, there's no real DH firepower on the roster so it's not as if two players couldn't coexist, but also Mervis is a fringe prospect who hasn't yet proved to be productive at AAA, unlike Vientos.

[JeffH]

Are there any examples of players with similar minor league stat lines to that of Vientos that have gone on to have sustained success in the big leagues?

[Bertz]

 

Impossible to tell if this is a good shake or a bad shake but does kinda look like resolution one way or the other

Spot checking some leaderboards: Matt Chapman, Aaron Judge, Fernando Tatis Jr., Ian Happ, Joey Gallo

Any idea what the package going to the Nationals would look like?
