Chance they try to trade him in the offseason as his salary jumps up $10.5m.

 

He's got a full no trade clause though.

 

I thought the Marlins didn't give those

Not normally but as hard as it is to believe, Stanton was apparently reluctant to sign the contract so they gave him everything he wanted.

If the Marlins go full rebuild he's willing to waive it. It would be nice to see him in a hitters park

Tulowitzki for Hernandez. Everybody's problems are solved.

 

They have Cano, Segura, and Seager as their infield. They don't need Tulo.

Reminded me that I do not miss Dickey one bit.

What a terrible trade that was.

 

It was... but he's having a nice season thus far with the Braves, his RA9-WAR sitting at 1.7 thus far.

We'll throw in Goins for Segura then just to make it more even and that will solve Seattle's problem of riding Tulo's expensive ass on the bench.

RA Dickey right now is what this rotation could have used. Would rather have him than Valdez and the other crap they rolled out with in April/May like with Lawrence/Bolsinger etc.

Nah... a couple other teams in the East might be in play. :P

 

Yeah I was kidding obviously

 

Baltimore doesn't have the money or farm to trade for Stanton

 

If the Yankees can't get Harper though...

And its not like Thole would have even been worse than the backups we ended up with

Atlanta were smart, they said here's your catcher, deal with it. Mind you back up catchers on this forum are over-rated, they all suck.

True

 

Of course the Braves also knew they weren't competing for anything this year

 

They were just filling out a rotation

Brandon Morrow having a great year out of bullpen 1.12 FIP. Could be a beast next season if stays healthy. Big IF.

 

Picked him up for free in BORED. A 2018 keeper.

AA's best move since he went to LA

 

How do you know AA was the one who suggested him? The Dodgers front office is incredibly smart.

An assumption on my part I suppose

 

Could be wrong

Eric Thames is running a 96 wRC+ with a 32% k-rate since the end of April. Pretty much exactly the player who left here years ago.

TBF he had a horrendous June which distorts his figures - you can't really include that month to look at his overall performance if you're going to exclude March and April. He's at 126 wRC+ and 1.6 WAR overall. Not a superstar but well worth his contract.

Alonso traded to Mariners.

 

The M's front office be like: "limited defensive player, first base type?"
