In-Season Trades and Transactions

Have to give credit to the sox, they suck but they were able to flip a cheap guy they signed into a great haul -

They got Vargas -
I would be down for that but Vladdy is having a monster offensive season. Hes going to be expensive and only under control for one more year if I remember correctly
-
But since Taillon and Hoerner have value beyond 2024, i think more teams could be involved. Like the Paredes and Morel swap. Teams arent just buyers and sellers anymore, just acquiring talent. One mans trash another mans treasure, trading from a position of strength to cover a weakness and all that
-
I take no offense to anything Tom, let loose. I think they can trade those 2 for an immediate need on the team, which is catcher/closer/power in general. Specific names they can target i dont really have, I wanted Teel from the red sox but he might be a year away and like you said thats sort of a gamble.
-
Its possible yeah, but i feel like that Passan tweet TT posted makes a good point that even if they do move talent like Taillon or Hoerner, they can still acquire something that helps them in the near future. Like acquiring a mlb ready catcher or bullpen arm/closer. I think Hoyer is past looking at 18 year old high ceiling kids in A ball
-
So are you saying they cant be competitive or they will reduce their likelihood of being competitive in 2025 if they deal Hoerner or Taillon?
-
Are you saying this move means they are going all in for 2024?

Seiya would easily be the DH, Soto has graded a ton better than Seiya defensively this year. Which is funny because Soto was bashed relentlessly for poor defense and Suzuki was a gold glover in Japan
-
I like Nico a lot too, especially after i heard Gordo mention on Kaplans podcast a few weeks ago that players from the last core used to tease and belittle guys like Hoerner who put in a lot of work at the gym and after the game. he's a top notch professional with his work ethic and fire. But i like Shaws power potential at 2B much more. I would move him if the deal is right.
-
I agree with their assessments, this isnt some crazy steal by the Cubs. People should look beyond prospect lists. Paredes has some legitimate warts, but im hoping Hoyer knows what he’s doing here.
-
I cant do math lmao, thanks
-
This is Neris 40th appearance, they have 48 more games. He needs inly 20 more appearances to flip his contract option to a player one.
-
Basically the opposite of Morel who was underperforming his xwOBA
-
In our perception yeah, looking at top prospects lists and all that. Rays had to have loved these guys for a reason
-
That wisdom grand slam convinced hoyer to buy
-
What a terrible trade that was, think Avila was a part of it too.
-
I think the Cubs will regret this deal in a few years but this move does make them better immediately
-
Trade em away and then give up a haul to get em back.
-
Please stop playing Suzuki in RF

Guess that takes them out of the Bellinger/Tauchman sweepstakes
