Random trade speculation

As they should be. They are also shopping Neto and the Red Sox are looking for a SS. Franklin Arias (SS Top 10 overall prospect) seems to be the center piece that would go back. One would think that would impact what they ask from us if it happens. e.g. asking for Rojas would be redundant. A lot of pieces to the puzzle and they can wait to see which teams budge. 

Rojas is probably a 3B long term (and has been playing there primarily lately) so I wouldn't rule him out of an Angels trade even if they manage to pull off that deal with the Red Sox.

More Detmers smoke -

Today, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com echoes that reporting with a piece of his own. Kramer says the M’s don’t intend to move Gilbert, Woo, Kirby or Miller but are listening on Luis Castillo and Hancock. He adds that they would eat some of Castillo’s contract if it helps them get a “legitimate” return.

Is there any interest in getting both Castillo and Hancock if they M's kick in money for Castillo? He's been consistently decent for years but the numbers don't look great this season.

Dorsey's legit.  Doesn't do a ton of rumors so when he does my ears perk up

Wait, are you saying that the asking price for a 3 fWAR SS with 3 years of control, with a +30% K rate and a .307 xwOBA, is the #2 prospect in all of baseball (plus more)?

Yes? (Not sure about the plus more part and/or who else would be involved from the Angels)

Got it. It's hard for me to believe Zach Neto is worth that kind of haul, but also putting my hand up and saying that I haven't really thought about the non-Trout Angels at all until recently, and even then it was just pitching.

He's a good bat. Injuries kept him from being a 30/30 guy last year. Should push 30/25 this season.

He is pretty good. 5+ WAR his last 2 years and trending to be 4+ again this year. 3 more years of control is going to cost a lot.

Seems the rumors have started to pick up  . Next week should be fun

Baseballreference v fangraphs might be part of my disconnect then. FG has 3.6 in 2024, 3.1 in 2025, and 2.0 thus far this year (projected for another 1.2).

I doubt anything is that close to impact anything, but Detmers is scheduled to pitch tomorrow night

The M's would have to kick in a boatload of money.

Sandy Alcantara has an ERA+ of 101. He's the definition of "meh".

That said, "meh" is better than Taillon/Peterson/Rea

[Tryptamine]

These suggested trade packages for Detmers are just crazy in my eyes. 

Ramirez+Wiggins+Kepley. If it's Shaw instead of Ramirez I'm at least entertaining the idea.

Off topic thought, but Bregman is an August/September hitter.  He may yet come around.
