    Some names for context that have been discussed in a White Sox trade for Peralta -

    Nitpicking here - love that they are getting Ramirez more playing time, I don't love that it's coming at the expense of Seiya. He DH'd yesterday, and it's a crosswind blowing out to left/knocking down balls to right hurting lefties (Conforto).

    This is where Trueblood's article makes sense. Jed's most likely not going to give up that much for Peralta alone, but throw Tong into the mix, and then it makes sense for us to make higher tier prospects available to the Mets.

    McClanahan left in the 4th with the trainer. Looked like he grabbed his lower back, but with his injury history you never know. They were already in on starting pitching, so this probably ramps up their pursuit even more.

    Haha

    I think LAD will be more involved in the pitching market now with Ohtani's injury situation.

    Let's land one of Freddy/Holmes + one of their RP. Go big game hunting for Detmers and let's ride!

    Idk guys, I think this offense needs more 120 wRC+ hitters before we can be buyers…

    This is where I'm at or at least what I would do. Now do I think Jed will actually do it this year vs grabbing 1 SP 1 RP and 1 throwaway arm, I would lean him doing the latter until proven otherwise. Like you pointed out, there will be more pitching injuries. This is the last chance to add meaningful help and I would do that.

    I've been on the 2 SP train. I would be fine with Alcantara + Freddy/Gaus. The biggest drawback is Alcantara's extra year of control is going to be the lockout season vs having Detmers through 2028. I'm also of the opinion to just go get Detmers and one of the good SP rentals. This is our window. The IF is locked up for a long time, we have a lot of money coming off the books after this season, and Detmers fills one of the roster holes for two years at a reasonable price. Seems like the package speculation around Detmers is going to be in the realm of something like Ayers/Rojas or Ayers/Wiggins/Triantos? What will the top rentals cost (Not including Skubal)? Like a fringe top 100 guy plus another young upside player? I would be so tempted to just do that and roll with a combination of Detmers/Boyd/(Freddy or Gaus)/Shota for the playoffs. Add a Kittridge type as a late inning guy you trust and hope to get a couple of these guys healthy and usable out of the pen for a playoff run - Brown/Palencia/Cabrera/Steele/Harvey.

    He's a good bat. Injuries kept him from being a 30/30 guy last year. Should push 30/25 this season.
  17. KCCub
    Yes? (Not sure about the plus more part and/or who else would be involved from the Angels)
  18. KCCub
    More Detmers smoke -
  19. KCCub
    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.
  20. KCCub
    I would LOVE a Detmers + one of Freddy/Gausman deadline. Find this years Kittridge and let’s roll

    Early would have been a solid off-season target. Not the guy we need for a playoff run this season though.
  23. KCCub
    Mead’s finally starting to live up to the prospect hype with his bat this season. Horrible defense so far though. Idk, initial thought is Early is an overpay for him.

    I chalked KA’s up to being demoted, but now it’s interesting to say the least. Mo’s could be about him not getting the promotion, but it sure does raise the spidey senses. Have they been told their names are going to come up in a lot of trade rumors? Or just a coincidence they both are feeling blue about their big league opportunities so far? Let the speculation begin
