Yeah. If Happ and Suzuki accept short term extensions then it’d be easier to justify a trade while the Hartshorn and others have another year to develop.
-
Sure. If he’s expected to make a full recovery and even return this season then I probably wouldn’t consider it. The reason it was brought up is the Angels preference for MLB ready talent. Shaw and Mo let’s say is a heavy price that hurts now and next season, as much as trading Brown. If they don’t want prospects then that’s the idea. One that I’m ambivalent on but it’s a chat so why the horsefeathers not throw it out there. In essence you’d be swapping Brown for Detmers and a couple of blocked position players that you don’t really need next year or this year.
-
That’s the gist of it. If they want MLB ready talent then then Rojas might not cut it. Brown would slash the price. Pedro and Alcantara I wouldn’t at all hesitate on but if we’re talking Shaw and Mo, 2 MLB ready guys that may or not both be involved then it’s too heavy.
-
Yes. That means the roster is better by keeping a key contributor like Shaw while adding Detmers. Next year you’ll have a hole to fill in the rotation but a couple of immediate options on the position side since Brown would be a key piece if our trade partner values MLB ready talent. The Angles do business differently. That’s my opinion. It’s a hypothetical. Point taken that it probably wont happen.
-
You asked me why they wound theoretically trade. Brown and I gave you my answer, regardless of whether of not Jed would. Trading for Detmers is going to hurt no matter what names they ask for and especially if they want MLB ready.
-
Shaw is part of the everyday lineup for the most part. If you think the Angels would accept Alcantara and Shaw for Detmers then you don’t hesitate to make the trade. They probably won’t. By trading for Detmers you swap one rotation spot for another with an upgrade while keeping a couple of every day bats. Thats more money to be spent on pitching. It’s an alternative to trading away a bulk of position players with a 31 YO outfielders and a DH spot with uncertainty. It’s an alternative. The flip side to being short on arms is that there’s absolutely no need to upgrade anywhere in the lineup.
-
They’ll also have over $100 million coming off the books. Some of those spots can be filled in free agency like Peralta. Reid Detmers is one of the best in baseball. I’m only throwing it out there. Trading Shaw hurts the team this year and the future and it won’t be a 1:1 swap.
-
Because he might not pitch again this year. For a guy like Detmers it wouldn’t cost an already depleted farm system with corner outfield positions and a DH spot to fill. Mo and Shaw are can fill 2 immediate needs.
-
Would they at all bite on Ben Brown, allowing you to keep Shaw and Mo while discarding Alcantara and Ramirez or is Brown’s injury too risky in the eyes of other teams?
-
What would Detmers cost? The Angels are primitive and wouldn’t trade Ohtani at the trade deadline during his walk year, multiple games out of a wild card so it’s assuming a lot that they’d even shop him unless the asking price is outrageous
-
I’m beginning to appreciate FIP based war watching this defense in real time seeing how the Pirates and Cubs are separated by .12 runs in ERA with an 8 war gap.
-
Huge win yesterday now that they’re waving the white flag with Wicks.
-
Why can’t Assad go? He last pitched on Tuesday.
-
Contreras sucks at challenging.
-
Suzuki has driven in the last 8 runs the cubs have scored in Milwaukee dating back to game 2 of the LDS.
-
Yay?
-
What a pathetic horsefeathers effort.
-
After Dansby botched the double play and neither of those pitches were challenged, I thought for sure Turang was hitting a 2 run homer.
-
Bregman still doesn’t have a memorable hit or game 82 games in.
-
This team is at least 6 trades away from making the pitching staff as good as it was on opening day.
-
I’m calling it now, Bregman with a 3 run blast and Nico with a couple of hits to break out of his slump. 7-3 Brewers.
-
I’d even send LA a prospect for 100K in cash to send to Detroit for Skubal just to be on the safe side as part of a 3 team deal. I’m petty.
-
No salary cap please. I want the brewers to remain poor and never win a World Series even if it means 5 more dodgers would series.
-
He has mediocre 2005 stuff. One of our nastier relief pitchers too.
-
Of course that’s not a ground rule double. Blow hard, bloop hitting bitch ass Brewers. God I hate them.
