Sogard traded to Rays

[jays4life19]

The return in this trade should be coming soon?

 

You got any inside info on the return, Todd?

[Todd]

I have a couple people saying stuff but different answers.

Have you heard Honeywell? I give it a 63% chance it's him.

[Jimcanuck]

obv we won't know until milb season is over

[TheHurl]

it's Resly Linares. It's obvious.

[TheHurl]

Resly Linares would be a sweet acquisition here, but he's probably too good to be included.

 

sorry first time I read this thread. The Rays have a serious 40 man crunch next year and Resly needs to get added despite having barely pitched this year. Rays will likely be forced to leave him exposed to the Rule 5 if they didn't trade him. The delay in an announcement would be his need for surgery or not, as it probably changes who the second player would be.

I'd be down with that, who's the other arm, smarty pants? Peguero or Taylor?

[Todd]

I'm hearing Orlando Barrios and Easton McGee

[Krylian]

Jays have a type if true. These guys are both 6'6"

[Todd]

Looks like jays management might be following St. Louis. They like

big pitchers. They starting rotation is all over 6-4.

[jays4life19]

Thanks Todd

Well, that settles it

[Boxcar]

it's Resly Linares. It's obvious.

 

Really hope not. I don't want a P2Fguy on the Jays.

If Todd is right he gets to be a mod

Todd The Mod

 

He has a great bod

[Spanky99]

I'm hearing Anthony Banda and Matthew Peguero

[glory]

Well, the PTBNLs are allegedly two pitchers in low A, so Todd is either a credible source or he took one hell of a realistic guess. His mod status should be granted regardless.

Where'd you hear they're from low A? I thought it was players from group A and a set of players in group B? Hmm... am I looking at this trade wrong all along? lol

[jays4life19]

I've been trying to f***ing tell you guys that #Todd4Modd is a f***ing baseball savant.

Relevant, in concerns of the Rays roster crunch...

 

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-40-man-situations-that-could-impact-trades/

 

2. Tampa Bay Rays

 

Current 40-Man Count: 42

 

Pending Free Agents: 3 (Travis d’Arnaud, Avisail Garcia, Eric Sogard)

 

Must-Add Prospects: 4 (Vidal Brujan, Ronaldo Hernandez, Lucius Fox, Moises Gomez)

 

Fringe Current 40-Man Members: 9 (Matt Duffy, Ji-Man Choi, Joe McCarthy, Jake Faria, Oliver Drake, Austin Pruitt, Chaz Roe, Mike Zunino, Guillermo Heredia)

 

Possible-Add Prospects: 10 (Garrett Whitley, Chris Betts, Ryan Boldt, Resly Linares, Joel Peguero, Kean Wong, Matt Krook, Jake Cronenworth, Curtis Taylor, Roberto Alvarez)

 

The Rays have already made this situation a little less crunchy with their recent moves, and they’ll naturally arrive at an acceptably rostered 39 players when the season ends. By December, some decisions will need to be made as there are four to six prospects to add, and some fringe 40-man types who are eligible for arbitration (Daniel Robertson, Matt Duffy, Chaz Roe, Mike Zunino, Guillermo Heredia); they can likely wait until March to make decisions on Ji-Man Choi and Jake Faria, who are out-of-options.

 

Whitley, a tweener with big power and big K’s, who missed 2018 with a shoulder injury and is only in High-A, and Betts, a Low-A catcher with thump but an injury history, are both tough carries in the Rule 5 Draft, so we’d expect one or both of them, along with the rest of that 10-man possible-add list, to be left unprotected. Some clubs with less 40-man depth might protect those two to be sure to keep them, but Tampa Bay has lots of major league-quality depth to keep around on the 40-man in lieu of buying it with their meager payroll.

 

We think the fringe 40-man members who will get bumped are Heredia, a fourth outfielder who’s a hair above replacement level and is entering arbitration, Zunino, who will be due $5 million-plus in arbitration and has a .537 OPS, and Roe, a 33-year old middle reliever with a Wiffle ball slider who’s due $2 million-plus in arbitration and has a 4.82 xFIP. The Rays could just non-tender their three arb cases and hold onto Pruitt, a 30-year-old finesse utility arm who’s out of options in 2020, until they sign a replacement for Zunino, sign their first free agent, or decide to protect Whitley or Betts. If the Rays want to make multiple additions to the 40-man in free agency, or protect both Betts and Whitley, they’ll have to cut some players who would draw trade interest. Wander Franco is also a strong candidate to be added to the roster during the 2020 season.

[Todd]

This Anthony Branda guy might be to old for the team the jays are trying to build. and

the other guy even i would be ok with. But i still like the two 6-6 guys for the starting rotation better.

And one might be closer then the other.

"And so, they made their second Sunday swap – having earlier sent Eric Sogard to the Tampa Bay Rays for two players to be named later, whom they will pick from a group of four pitchers in the lower levels of the minors, according to an industry source."

That was published on the 28th, I believe it's two pitchers from a group of pitchers in two groups, I heard Atkins say as much in an interview, thanks man. This could be right, too. Who knows...

Given that there's two groupings, it would make sense if one group was guys who will be rule 5 eligible, and one that's not.

I think it might be 2 40 man stashes. That's why I assume it's Banda and Peguero, or maybe two in Linares and Peguero or Taylor.
