Why trade for a guy who projects for an 85 wRC+ and probably won’t be a good defender at a position he really hasn’t played?

Middle infielders in Centers, DH's everywhere else.

 

New market inefficiency

 

Yeah, it's really inefficient.

We could've traded Pillar to M's for their #1 prospect

 

Wouldn’t be worth it. Their farm is awful

lol, they gave up Neidert. Why not just keep Dyson?

 

That was my first thought. Could have just re-signed Dyson for much cheaper and shorter term.

Gohara seems interesting too, although without as much hype. Strikeout ability, 21 years old, upper 90s fastball, lefty.

 

Yes, he should do great for Atlanta next year.

You mean the guy they traded to the Braves for Mallex Smith?

Oops, yeah.

 

Move along people, nothing to see here.

 

He’s mostly avoided career-threatening injury, so he’s not someone you’d follow closely for fantasy purposes.

Fiers to Detroit for peanuts. Ugh.

 

 

Wasn’t his arb projection right at 6M? Why wouldn’t Detroit throw Houston some fringe prospect for him?

Man, suxxxxxxxx

Yup, 5.7M. Better question, why didn't Toronto do that?

Dunno, but I really like that deal for Detroit. I would have liked to see him sign here for that (or have traded for him).

Sorry, didn't see that the Roy Halladay thread was pinned at the top now.

 

Cool, changed his number to one that was only Roy's in Philly and only because Phillies retired 32 for Steve Carlton.

 

Good choice.

Yeah, in case you guys skimmed over it, Kevin Gausman is retarded:

 

 

Honour Roy by wearing his temporary placeholder number because he wasn't allowed to wear 32 in Philly. Wore 32 almost his entire career, retired with 32 on his back, will go into the HOF as #32 and a Jay. But yeah you wear 34 for Roy there, f***ing idiot.

 

Also, how does this Oriole f*** think he's got any right to leech off of Halladay's legacy? I guess because he's the Orioles best pitcher? Big f***ing accomplishment there. I'll get extra enjoyment out of watching his clusterf*** starts now.

Fiers for 1/6 is a good deal. Surprised a team did not trade some C level prospect with options for him. I'm sure the Astros would have taken that over non tendering him.

 

Atkins seems confident they will add a starter, but the market is so bad, Fiers might have been one of the better short term options.

I can't say I blame Stanton. This is what can happen when you hand out a NTC.

 

Yeah the Marlins should never have given Stanton a full no trade clause, the contract was already extremely player friendly. IMO full no trade clauses should only be optionally put in to get someone to sign at a hometown discount when the player is happy at that team.

Stanton's contract is horrendous. I don't know how he was able to get that. 13/325, opt out after six years, full no trade clause, $10m buyout at the end of his deal (team option). I mean, getting 13 years on a contract alone is enough, but he got all those other things on top of that. Crazy. Now the Marlins will be screwed because the only teams he will accept a trade to likely don't want him. It's their own fault for giving him a Ntc.

 

I wonder if the Cardinals missing out on Stanton makes them more desperate to overpay for Donaldson in a trade. They seem really eager to make a deal.
