Seattle got Suraez. Ready to see the return

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Good, now we can focus on Joe Ryan.

Tyler Locklear and two pitching prospects are going back to Arizona in the Eugenio Suárez trade, according to a source

[Rex Buckingham]

Really hope we get Willi Castro now... need a bench bat worth something.

[Dfan25]

Oh well , Joe Ryan and Willi Castro it is then 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Did Locklear make mid-season top 100s? He wasn't in any pre-season lists I can see.

[Tryptamine]

If Sloan was one of the two pitchers,  that's a pretty big get for a rental. 

[Jason Ross]

Mason Miller not out for the 9th for the As...

Locklear apparently made some big swing changes recently. His EV has jumped like 5+mph. Good chance he's better than rankings as well. 

Looks like Arizona did well

[Tryptamine]

Ok I need something official because if it's the package some people are running with then thank you Jed for saying  hell no

Seems light?

[Post Count Padder]

Locklear is raking and is better than those rankings indicate. He could be Arizona's first baseman now. 

What would our version of this trade look like? Alcantara, Neely and Sanders or Birdsell?

[WhyCantWeWin]

Yeah thats not bad at all, still a decent haul for a rental tho

Yeah that was not what I was seeing, but that's honestly not a bad return for a rental bat. It was never realistic that he'd bring a top 50 guy.

I'd think Long more than Alcantara

Mariners have 8 prospects in the top 70 according to MLB pipeline.  Locklear is their #9 prospect.

Seems weird when they already have the best bullpen. Do they want to get rid of Suarez for some reason?

Nothing the Padres do surprises me.

Really wanted Bieber. Love the potential playoff upside.

Yeah the idea of Bieber was nice. 

Jays basically traded their version of Wiggins for him though. Not sure I liked Bieber that much.

Miller and Sears to SD. Whoa.

Sacramento got Leo DeVries in the deal. That's a huge get for them.
