One positive is this should make the rest of the market move quickly since no one is waiting on Skubal anymore. (As quickly as it can with less than 48 hours to go)
-
I assumed it was gonna be Hope, Sheehan, Ryan and another prospect. Flip side, could we get Sheehan? Sucks it's the Dodgers but at least it's not the Brewers.
-
The return for Castillo seemed light until seeing the White Sox are taking all of his contract. Kudos to them for going for it but also lol.
-
AJ Minter traded to the Twins for Benny Agbayani's son.
-
That would be real ballsy considering Amaya's injury history and how important a good two-way catcher is to a contending club. I almost wonder if they are just doing due diligence on the market, or as BN suggested, making a ploy to get someone like the Angels more interested in Ayers.
-
Arredondo was not ranked among Rangers top prospects on Pipeline or FG.
-
I wonder what they're giving up. Silseth is an interesting arm I wouldn't have minded in a package with Detmers.
-
It's insane because the Dodgers could offer 3 of their top 10, not have to include De Paula and it would probably still top any other team's offer. Or I could see them adding Emmet Sheehan to the package too. Something like Sheehan/Sirota/Tibbs and I don't know if any other team is willing to meet that.
-
Didn't even finish the inning. Pulled for old pal Brendon Little to get the last out.
-
Shane Bieber has 6 walks and counting and it's still the 1st inning. I know one start a season does not make, but maybe let's skip this one.
-
Is there any interest in a package of Gausman and Hoffman with the Blues Jays paying some of Hoffman's salary?
-
Boston got all of 2 plate appearances from Mead before he took a fastball off the wrist and went on the IL. Tough break (pun intended, though it's just being called a bruise for now). Wonder if they dive back into the INF market.
-
Yeah that seems a little steep for me. Now if we keep those names, add in someone like Jonathan Long or McGwire and add Clay Holmes to the mix I'd be down.
-
He was an All Star last year, has good numbers and will probably be the best non-Mason Miller reliever traded. I really would love him on the Cubs too but I don't think it will be "that" cheap.
-
Was Detmers singing Go Cubs Go in a bar?
-
Let's remember some guys
-
I knew he was not long for the roster but figured they'd wait until after the deadline. Either they have some things lined up or they didn't want to give him another start and watch him surrender 4 HRs.
-
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.
-
Yup, agreed. We can offer them a relatively MLB ready catcher in Ayers but I'm sure they don't make any big deals for a few more days unless they're blown away by an offer. Between Detmers, Soriano, Adell and Neto, they should boost their system quite a bit.
-
Detmers seems so obvious that I wonder if the Angels are just slow playing it to get as much as they can and aren't pulling the trigger yet. I don't love the idea of trading Wiggins for 2 reasons: I still believe in his ability and he's at his lowest value right now being hurt and ineffective.
-
That's a great deal for the Nats. Mead was a waiver pick up and they turned him into a good upside starter who I wanted. Not to discount the season or prospect status Mead has had but that's a no brainer.
-
Seeing the above comment about giving Seiya 3 more years made me remember the guy who wanted to give Ryan Sweeney a 3 year extension based on a few good games. We all had a good laugh.
-
I'd be bummed at trading Ayers but at the same time wonder if his value is an all time high right now.
-
Cubs just signed Greg Jones and sent him to Iowa. Could be nothing more than cheap depth but he can play INF and OF and is a former first rounder and could also just be a replacement if guys like Long or Bateman or Triantos get dealt soon.
-
I've wanted Mize and Morejon in the past and both would be huge gets and not require a king's ransom. I just don't know if we're gonna find a controllable starter at this deadline.
