2022 Trade Deadline Thread

[Laika]

What the f***

[P2F]

What the f*** is this trade?

[Jays24]

How many damn prospects do the Padres have man? Theyve been trading them for impact players for the past several years and yet they still have enough to still be a leader to get Soto?

[Stangstag]

When did it become standard to make these 4 for 1 trades? Seems like all the teams specifically want 4+ players now no matter what

[L54]

That’s a ton for 1.5 years of Hader

[Jays24]

We could have traded them this years Tellez for Hadar lol.

 

Seriously though... Odd trade for a team that's leading their division but I guess they didn't like the dip in Hadars performance this year.

More lotto tickets.

The Padres will never run out of prospects (to trade).

[RobinThicc]

I think montas is gojng to the yankees.

[Jays24]

Who the hell are we going to get? It's been so quiet on our front... too quiet.

[Maine Jays]

Hopefully they overpay the way Seattle did and he ends up on the DL for the playoffs

[Terminator]

This is an interesting trade.

 

-Brewers get a Hader replacement in Rogers before he hits FA at the end of the year. Then they get two prospects and a wild card reliever on top of it.

-Padres get a year and a half of Hader.

 

Weird to see two contenders make a trade like this but given the strengths of each team I think it makes a lot of sense for both sides.

Yankees To Acquire Scott Effross From Cubs

By Steve Adams | August 1, 2022 at 12:05pm CDT

 

12:05pm: The Yankees have announced the trade.

 

11:54am: Right-hander Hayden Wesneski is going back to Chicago in the trade, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

 

11:41am: The Yankees and Cubs are in agreement on a trade sending right-hander Scott Effross from Chicago to New York, reports Jack Curry of the YES Network (via Twitter).

 

Effross, 28, isn’t a household name but has been outstanding since the Cubs promoted him for his Major League debut in 2021. The sidearming righty has tallied 58 2/3 innings as a big leaguer to date and posted a 2.91 ERA with a 28.8% strikeout rate, a 5.1% walk rate and a 46% ground-ball rate.

 

While Effross throws right-handed, he’s been far more effective against lefties than right-handers to this point in his big league career, which surely held appeal to the Yankees (and to other teams). That’s not to say that he’s ineffective against fellow righties — far from it — but Effross has held lefties to a putrid .160/.250/.253 batting line through 85 plate appearances. Right-handed hitters have had struggles of their own, hitting Effross at a solid .262 clip but posting a meager .287 OBP and just a .369 slugging percentage.

[Angrioter]

2022 Taylor Rogers = 2022 Josh Hader

 

Devin Williams is a monster

[Laika]

Effross is good the Yanks also gave up a good spect for him

[Terminator]

 

It wouldn't really bother me that much if the Yankees did get him. It'd almost be like the Benitendi trade (decent trade but just marginal improvement) but on a bigger scale meaning they'd have to give up more prospect capital. They've already got a pretty good 4-man playoff rotation. Montas would be making a few starts instead of either Montgomery, Taillon or German depending on what they would decide to do.

1.2 fWAR reliever with a 2.19 FIP, 10.23 K-rate and isn't even arb eligible until 2025 of course the yankees strengthened their already stronger bullpen with this guy

 

What would have been a comparable return from the Jays? Max Castillo?

I don't think we really have a comparable return but yeah Castillo would be the closest thing.

[Laika]

Value wise the Cubs would probably need Groshans from Toronto to top Wesneski

[DigitalRock]

Who do u think we getting boys?

[Dagagad]

The brewers have insane self belief in their pitching dev which is probably warranted given their record in that area.

 

That Yankees prospect was a pretty good one to give up for a reliever. But they also probably think they can make more.

Castillo might be as good but he’s not nowhere near as highly rated by most prospect sites.

[John_Havok]

Hard to say, Atkins is pretty good at keeping his possible moves out of the public until they happen.

 

From my POV though, anything less than a top end shutdown reliever and improvement on the bench is a failure. SP would be nice, but I don’t think it’s nearly as essential as those other two spots.

 

Complete wish list would be, 1 better bench guy, 2 RPs and a SP.

I would never do a trade with the Rays man. Instead I would sign anyone they want long term lol.
