Trade Deadline Rumors and Discussion Thread 2021

Interesting. I find a few things interesting:

 

1. They rate SWR over Austin Martin (although only by 1 spot)

2. PCA seems low on the list

 

Could be due to his injury? But yeah, I like him a lot and thought Cubs did well to get him for essentially a rental. He has top 5 upside on that list IMO.

Fangraphs ranked all the prospects traded at the deadline. They also included "compensatory pick" because of the Bryant thing.

Pretty hard to argue that Colorado would not have received more than the comp pick. Brian got a player a tier above the pick PLUS a player equal to the pick.

 

I concede nothing. One had an 130 wRC the other 80. Story may have had to play a position he’s never played with a bunch of the other teams as well

 

45/40 at that spot means they’d get to pick their own guy. I’m sure they prob would’ve dealt for some 45 guys and some 45 guys they wouldn’t. They didn’t get a guy they liked.

You dodged my question multiple times because the answer is; Yes- you’d rather have the comp pick than Canario as an example

No.

No.

 

Well I would, give me another quarter to stick in the slot machine if that’s what I got

Canario is the same age as college players. He's a lottery ticket with more information.
