Same. I’ve been very unproductive today because it’s really felt like something was going to pop. I still think it does because it’s been a little too slow of a day for less than 24 hours from the deadline.
-
George Kirby was in fact not scratched. Pitching now. So if something is up with Hartshorn getting pulled, it’s not for Kirby it doesn’t appear. I’m kind of out of players it could be for other than mayyyyybeeee something involving Mason Miller

Obviously Nico should of challenged, but I’m more mad at that god awful AB by Bregman -
Yeah I don’t know. He’s just the only name that comes to mind that would take Hartshorn. The only issue is the Mariners are still in win now mode and they need ready bats. I would assume a Kirby trade to the Cubs would be headlined by Ramirez or Shaw (whichever they prefer) which would take Hartshorn off the table. It’s all just speculation though
-
George Kirby?
-
CUBS MAKE A TRADE. Jamo to Toronto for cash considerations lol
-
Any chance Hartshorn could be a headliner for a Miller AND Morejon trade?
-
Oh my! Only guy I’m moving Hartshorn for is Kirby
-
-
So Detmers. You really are sounding like you know something specific lol
-
I’m just going to assume Michael Cerami breaks all the news. He usually does
-
Isn’t Casey Mize’s velo like way down? That’s scares the hell out of me on him. I think I kinda prefer Detmers, Peralta, Morejon at this moment
-
Must be one of Ayers, Bally, or Alcantara
-
Is it just me or does that seem light? I mean Hope is awesome, but the other 2? River Ryan is 27 in AAA and has pitched 8 games this year. I’m assuming due to injury, but still.
-
Let the fun begin. Dodgers get Skubal. Yawn. Anything can happen in a 7 game series. Go get us some pitching now Jed

I trust Sahadav and Mooney’s reporting on the Cubs worlds more than Heyman. But I mean yeah I’m sure we are far from the favorite, but never say never. Definitely not one we should even consider getting excited for though
-
That would be incredible
-
True. But Chase Burns looked pretty good his first year. Definitely was better than his ERA suggested. And I know just promoting Kade straight from AA is very aggressive, but I figured that was their plan. We will see what happens soon enough though

I understand. And you’re likely right that this keeps them from trading Hancock or Kirby now, but seems like you could go to any team that’s out of the race and get a similar or better version of Castillo for a little of nothing. I mean he’s barely on pace to put up 1 fWAR this season. This looks like a homerun of a trade for the Mariners to get out from under that contract. Now they should have the flexibility to replace him with someone equal or better without the financial commitment. Then that kind of puts them back in a spot where if they did want to trade Hancock or Kirby, they could do so while targeting bats that can help them now and just bring Anderson up to replace whichever one they decided to move because I mean he looks ready right now. Again I’m sure you’re correct, just giving my opinion. I thought the whole point of moving Hancock or Kirby in the first place was to get big league ready bats knowing they have pitching that’s close to replace them. I just assumed they would dump Castillo regardless and it had no bearing on a bigger move to get some bats that can help.
-
Haven’t they been trying to dump Castillo for a couple years now though? Plus with Anderson close for them, probably not quite as big of a deal to move a couple guys
-
Luis Castillo to the White Sox

GM’s aren’t clicking MLB Pipeline Top 100 to determine what a player is worth. I mean Hartshorn could be a top 20 prospect in the game this time next year. Or he could completely fall off like Wiggins. Most headliners in trades for players of Skubal’s caliber will be top 100, and the Dodgers for example have a plethora of those players, but that doesn’t automatically mean the Tigers would prefer the Dodgers package. Maybe Jed gets crazy and offers Brown along with Hartshorn and the Dodgers offer Hope ++ but the Tigers prefer Brown and Hartshorn. Do I think that happens? No. But just an example of how actual rankings don’t determine how GM’s pick their preferred package.
