If we do a big deal with Toronto anyone think Danny Jansen as part of the return given the presence of Kirk and Moreno? We lack a good catcher in the upper minors with Amaya a question mark.

 

I'm honestly super hyped about Amaya right now. I love the swing changes they made.

Really hope we deal with the Rays. I'd even take no-pop speedster Xavier Edwards.

[Tryptamine]

I really can't see a scenario, not involving Ramirez that would make me happy for Contreras/Robertson to NYM. I guess maybe Vientos+Allan is pretty good, but it seems scary to dangle this trade deadline on a guy with huge swing and miss issues and another guy who has basically thrown about 10 innings in 3 years. With SD to Soto nearly finished, I'm really hoping TB or CLE step it up.

I haven't seen much discussion of the LT when it comes to Soto and the Padres, is it just assumed Washington is willing to chuck in 10+ million for this year because they like the Padres package so much? I haven't seen any indication Hosmer or even Myers would be going the other direction to mitigate the contract.

Heyman and Nightingale saying Soto to Padres. Morosi says Cardinals refuse to include Carlson.

He makes a lot of sense. I don't personally like him because he's outrageously fragile, but him plus some arms in a Happ deal would be very much in the spirit of "threading the needle."

God I'd be pissed off if I was a cardinal fan.

Would Bell’s inclusion in some of these rumors indicate that Hosmer is on the move?

Maybe? But that begs further questions because no team is going to give value for Hosmer, and you're already giving so much value in the Nats deal you almost run low on reasonable options to convince someone to take Hosmer's deal. Plus their history so far has been not very willing to pay much of a prospect price to unload him, hence why he's still there.

Sounds like a done deal for Soto to the Padres.

They aren't going to have anyone left to attach to Hosmer to make it worthwhile.

Combining the messages of these two tweets, it sounds like they might finally be willing to move off that position. Sounds like a monster package would be going to Washington to acquire Soto/Bell and unload one of Hosmer/Myers.

Anyone but the Cardinals.

 

And, lol.

I saw Robert Hassell III, in South Bend. He is going to be really good. He looks like a tight end/line backer.

I keep forgetting about Jansen, I'm kinda into that as an option in a combo deal. But Jansen can't be the headliner, it's more or less Tiedemann or bust if you're doing Happ + RP.

Nats also getting Gore and another major leaguer according to Passan.

[Bertz]

 

I've fallen madly in love with James Wood over the last month, but even still this still feels very light. I was expecting something like this with Corbin, with someone like Bell it feels kind of silly.

 

Nats were clearly tasked with dumping Soto now so that it wasn't a PR hit for the new owners.

 

Edit: Okay adding in Gore on top of this looks far more reasonable

Hosmer is also going to Washington, in which case I don't think the Nationals got nearly enough in return.

Hosmer vetoing the trade is the entertainment we all deserve
