    I keep waiting for that Passan bomb about a Cubs trade.
  2. 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?
  3. Post Count Padder
    I dig it. Pitching staff better than it was a couple hours ago.
  4. Post Count Padder
    I assume Ford is part of the return.
  5. Post Count Padder
    Yes it is. And power is basically all he has.

    I like it, as long as he's not the only starter acquired. The mph drop is concerning but his peripherals have been good all year and he was pretty great out of the pen last year. I immediately thought of Franklin as the return before it was reported. Idk why, seemed like an obvious candidate. But adding Cruz too hurts a little. He's far off but looks pretty interesting. The market is bonkers. We're gonna be giving up a lot for a better starter.

    Yeah and Butto is a decent middle reliever under control for 5 more years. Am I missing something? This really is a sellers' market.
  8. Post Count Padder
    That is a haul for a non-closer reliever who is a pure rental. Gilbert and Tidwell both performing in AAA and are top-10 ish prospects in Mets system.
  9. Post Count Padder
    His time was coming to an end. ERA over 6 and FIP over 7 since his scoreless streak ended. He wasn't gonna have a roster spot past this weekend anyway. Thanks for the memories.

    One of my favorite players growing up. This really sucks. He signed through the mail for me a few years ago and he was prolific at signing for fans and there had been people saying their cards were returned to sender recently so it didn't seem good.

    More confusing, Brewers getting Jansen or Rays trading Jansen and then trading for Nick Fortes?
  12. Post Count Padder
    I would trade Caissie and Wiggins for Strider. Unlikely he's available though.
  13. Post Count Padder
    Well this one ain't happening. Clase suspended through August as part of a gambling investigation.
  14. Post Count Padder
    As would I. But now with McMahon off the market, the price probably went up. And McMahon isn't a rental and is an elite defender but he has an OPS below .600 away from Coors, so.....
  15. Post Count Padder
    Feels like a return for Suarez based on this and Naylor would be something like Will Sanders and Triantos? Maybe a little more?
  16. Post Count Padder
    Rookie left-hander Brandyn Garcia and pitching prospect Ashton Izzi are headed back to Arizona, reports ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Both in the 10-20 range in Seattle's system.
  17. Post Count Padder
    Reminds me of how he tore it up for a couple weeks after being recalled, only to slump again. Hope it's sustainable but also hope they make an infield addition at the deadline.
  18. Post Count Padder
    FYI Pipeline updated their top 30s ahead of the deadline.

    I have to think some of the negativity stems from him being an underwhelming acquisition when it felt like resources were slim and hopes were aimed higher for another starter. Rea has pitched better than anticipated and is a fine 5th starter whose presence has really helped given injuries, but I hope we don't see him in the postseason.
  21. Post Count Padder
    Kidding aside I've liked Bradley for awhile and would definitely be a fan of acquiring him but I'm sure the ask would be high.
  22. Post Count Padder
    The Rays have some power hitter named Morel. Can he play 3B?

    I mean, yeah he sneaks into the back half of the top 10, sure. The ranking is basically your favorite order of: Ballesteros, Alcantara, Caissie, Wiggins, Rojas and then after that it's pretty open. Lotta guys with upside but also warts. No reason to think our 1st rounder the FO and some talking heads really like couldn't get into the top 10 right now. Triantos is a bat only guy with minimal power who isn't hitting. Birdsell has been hurt most of the year. Long doesn't have a defensive home. Etc. Etc. Etc.
