Other Teams Trade Deadline Thread

[Outshined_One]

Might as well start a new thread where we can track other big trades and complain about how the Cubs overpaid/should have gotten more in their own upcoming deals.

Giolito and Lopez traded to LAA.

Looks like Ohtani isn't going anywhere, unless someone ludicrously overpays.

[CubinNY]

Good trade for LAA.

Angels are 4 games out of a WC (with 3 teams to jump) and are buying

Cubs are 4.5 games out of a WC (with 3 teams to jump) and are......

the cubs should buy, but they aren't really comparable situations. the angels are desperate to win this year because they're trying to keep the best player of all time.

That and their farm, even pre trade, was absolutely terrible. If Ohtani leaves they were looking at several years of rebuild whether they traded him or not.

Mets got a pretty significant haul from Miami for Robertson

I just can't bring myself to get worked up over a guy in complex ball as being a particularly audacious piece to give up in trade, it is so so far from realization of whatever potential you see.  Last August everyone gnashed their teeth after Cam Collier slipped in the draft and made the ACL look like batting practice for a couple weeks at age 17, and now he's got an 87 wRC+ in full season ball.  Maybe this guy is the next Tatis!  More likely he's Reggie Preciado.

Texas Rangers prospects Brock Porter (#4 on their top 10 per MLB.com) and Sebastian Walcott (#6) (#s 59 and 98 in the top 100, so a similar package to Ben Brown/Kevin Alcantara) both pulled from their games, per Greg Zumach (@NamedAfterMaddux) on Twitter.... could be a big-ish deal coming

That’s a good deal for the Mets

[Tryptamine]

Unless the Mets are paying a tremendous amount of either Verlander or Scherzer's contract, I don't get it.

[Tryptamine]

Porter did make his start

[Jason Ross]

Sounds like the Mets and the Rangers have agreed in principal to a Scherzer deal minus the approval.

Walcott and Luisangel Acuna was what one person was reporting 

[KCCub]

Doesn’t get much better than the MLB trade deadline

[Tryptamine]

Deal done pending Scherzer's approval 

[Tryptamine]

No Walcott either apparently 

 

 

[Tryptamine]

Are the Rangers really going to give up Acuna and Saggese? That feels like a whole lot.
