I wonder if Sean Manaea could be a cheap answer to eat some innings. He’s currently SF’s 6th SP and they have good SP in AAA. Would y’all do...
Not bad. Swap Arrighetti for Knorr and it’s probably reasonable. I think I’d be ok with that trade if Houston’s FO think Jones will be a really...
I would guess the odds are very low but they aren’t 0%. It’s been confirmed that Houston has at least discussed him.
Not even close to enough in this market. Maybe try: Robert, Graveman, and Cease for Jeremy Pena, Drew Gilbert, Jake Meyers, Spencer Arrighetti,...
Based on the Giolito return they are gunning for 2025-2026 in which case I would consider it likely that at least Cease is traded. That would be...
I do wonder if Chicago trading Giolito (and apparently being close on a Lynn trade) with 6 days to go is a sign they really are shopping Cease...
That Angels trade is the equivalent of Drew Gilbert and Spencer Arrighetti for Giolito and Lopez. The Angels massively overpaid and set the...
Man I think you’d be surprised at how many people nerd out about prospects. I have an excel model I dump fangraphs stat exports into that...
Of course it's all in fun. But basing your rankings on arbitrary floor/ceiling ratings that come solely from yourself is anything but "taking...
Luis Encarnacion hit his 7th HR today, his 4th this month. He has been pretty good the last 2 months and is only 20. Another guy worth tracking....
I tease blindhog because he put 2021 6th rd pick SS Hector Nieves on his top 30 prospects list awhile back. I pressed him on that and he answered...
WHERES HECTOR NIEVES
That’s the thing, I don’t really see a “swing for the fences” option even being available. Ohtani won’t be traded. Neither will any of the...
Landing spot predictions: Grandal: Rays Bellinger: Braves Carlson: Dodgers Cease: Orioles Giolito: Dodgers Stroman: Rangers Laureano: Phillies...
That is pure speculation, Cron is a pretty poor fit for Houston’s needs.
Hopefully Chicago is hustling to get the Lynn deal done because they expect to complete quite a few more trades over the next 6 days. They really...
150 hours until the deadline.
I am assuming/hoping Brown is just trying to lower fan expectations and gain leverage with other GMs. Until the deadline passes I’m going to...
Lorenzen would be an underwhelming but good add. If Houston is going to go safe/cheap this deadline, he’s a great target because he can be a Game...
This Luis A Rodriguez guy they picked up in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 has been great: 31.1 ip, 43 k, 16 bb, 1.15 era. He’s 23 so we...
