    I could be convinced to look at Burleson if it was for someone in the prospect 15 or below range. He has underperformed this year, but there's enough there to dream on.
  2. Tryptamine
    Let me have my illogical hate of the franchise that had a star that wanted to play for them and they all but said, "no thanks".
  3. Tryptamine
    They'll give him an offer, it will just be about 5 years shorter than the rest of the offers.
  4. Tryptamine
    This sounds very similar to 2017 and 2018 where they didn't want to go deep into luxury tax territory because they wanted to be able to make a big move later. Then Harper was available and they did a big nothing.
  5. Tryptamine
    Good get on both sides. Cleveland gets the bat it badly needs. TB gets a solid starter.

    Depending on the cost, I could have some interest in Ty France. He's having a down year, but posted a 126 and 130 wRC+ the last 2 years. He doesn't have the usual 1B pop, he's more in the 15-20 HR range, but strong bat to ball skills. He's not a FA until 2026. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/07/mariners-willing-to-listen-to-trade-offers-on-ty-france-teoscar-hernandez.html

    Sometime after tonight's game because, though I do not agree with it, I think it's still very much on the table for Hoyer to do some light selling if they lose.
  8. Tryptamine
    Yup, otherwise he'd be far too valuable to be a third piece. His stuff is fantastic in the time he's healthy.
  9. Tryptamine
    ah yes, "saving their powder" , I feel like I've heard this a few times.
  10. Tryptamine
    Kjerstad is a great second piece, Hall is a take it or leave it for me. Cade Povich or Seth Johnson would have more appeal.
  11. Tryptamine
    I think he provides better bang for your return as well. He's not quite as good as Bednar, though xFIP and xERA like him more, He only comes with one year of additional control so he's a FA in 2025, but the price is likely significantly less. Seattle wants bats so I wonder if you could get him for Caissie and another like Roederer.
  12. Tryptamine
    If I'm Seattle that has got to be one significant plus and maybe even two.
  13. Tryptamine
    He'd be a secondary piece. If I'm guessing, the Pirates are probably asking for something like Alcantara, Wicks and Ferris which isn't unreasonable, but I'd much rather use that elsewhere.
  14. Tryptamine
    I'm just dreading the absolute worst option, which is the do nothing option. If you think they have a shot at the playoffs then add a few pieces even if they're cheap pieces that aren't huge upgrades. If you think they're not a playoff team then sell, but do not do absolutely nothing.
  15. Tryptamine
    I'm pretty sure there's not a single prospect or player on the big league team that you like, because all you do is act like everyone of them is horsefeathers.
  16. Tryptamine
    Fangraphs prospect work has become absolutely terrible. This is the same publication that has James Triantos as the #2 prospect in the system.
  17. Tryptamine
    This ranks real high on the most unenjoyable nsbb threads
  18. Tryptamine
    I can't imagine being an Oriole fan right now. They're on the cusp and they just aren't doing anything despite having a historically loaded farm/ young mlb talent base.
  19. Tryptamine
    Anytime now Jed, there's like 36 hours left.
  20. Tryptamine
    No one is doing this. No one is trying to hoard all the prospects. There's a big difference between that and saying they shouldn't use their best assets on a reliever at this point in time.
  21. Tryptamine
    At this point it's just from a Met's insider. Though it looks like Verlander may want out too.
  22. Tryptamine
    I have no interest in getting into a bidding war for Candelario https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/07/rizzo-nationals-have-eight-suitors-for-candelario.html
  23. Tryptamine
    So much weak contact today.
  24. Tryptamine
    It's kyle and Tom, this is bad for my blood pressure
  25. Tryptamine
    I'm not sure how that's relevant when I'm not saying he's untouchable. I'm saying if you're trading him, a reliever is the worst option.
