2022 Trade Deadline Thread

How do you not get one of the Yankee SS prospects if you're the A's lol

 

Yankees still have plenty of bullets left

[Laika]

Oakland blows

[jaysguy44]

Yankees assembling one of the greatest roster of all time.

 

Meanwhile, we've got Ross "Sitting on his" ASS-kins. DO SOMETHING

Huh? Their 1-9 isn't insane or anything, I still think they disappoint come playoff time.

The As continuously make terrible trades, and the Yankees are somehow consistently able to make trades without giving up any of their top guys. Its like their prospects are all overrated because pinstripes

Issa joke

[Terminator]

The A's are like that guy in your fantasy league who makes terrible trades all the time. I'd like to launch a veto campaign against their latest trade but we've gone to the well too many times to be that upset about it.

Ah, my bad.

[JaysAllMighty]

It just gives us more incentive to beat the Yankees.

[Dagagad]

It would have been nice if the yanks had given up more but I’m not afraid of montas at all.

[jaysblue]

LMAO this thread. Trade deadline is tomorrow, so everyone relax. You know the Yankees were going to acquire talent at the trade deadline. Stop acting surprised and shocked.

 

Also, because of Canada's strict COVID policy, who knows if someone like Scott Effross was even someone the Jays could target.

 

There are still a lot of big names out there like Rodon, Cobb, Kelly as starters, and some solid BP arms available as well. Atkins has been active at the trade deadlines the past two seasons, so I'm not worried about the Blue Jays standing pat.

It's similar to the Benitendi trade in that it doesn't really raise the bar all that much over what they already had. Montas the new #3 come playoff time and the #4 is between Montgomery or Taillon.

[PhillyBlueJay]

Soooooooo are we going to do literally anything ?

 

Something is brewing with a few teams.

 

Playoff Teams who have as of yet not consummated a trade:

 

Jays

Rays

Twins

Mets

Dodgers

 

we know the Twins and Rays will never give up a ton of prospects for Soto...

 

This leaves the Jays, Dodgers, and Mets. If I was a betting man it has come down to the Jays and Dodgers and the Dodgers will ALWAYS OUT TRUMP everyone else in a bidding war!

How about Nestor Cortes?

 

Yes it doesn't raise the bar much in terms of the Yankees most recent acquisitions agreed, though makes their roster a lot deeper in case injuries happen and also keeps an arm like Montas away from the Blue Jays or another contender.

Cardinals are in on Soto

Similar value from use would be like Tiedman, O Martinez, and another top 10 guy.

[jaysblue]

Are the Orioles selling or buying? I know they moved Mancini to the Astros, though wonder if that means guys like Lopez, Lyles, Tate are available.

[jaysblue]

Cardinals are in on Soto

 

A lineup of Soto, Goldy and Arenado! Yikes!

Not even in the same universe

[Omar]

I think it has become apparent that the Jays are looking for a starter. I would bet that they are in on at least one of Rodon or Montas. The only problem I see here is that the Yankess wanted Castillo and are now going to go hard on Montas driving the already inflated market up (thanks M's). I think Atkins wants to close on a starter before consumating a deal for bullpen help which is why we have yet to hear about a move. If NYY get Montas (they seem willing to overpay) , and Rodon is not available Atkins will move quickly on solidifying the pen with the deals he already has in place ready to go with a LH bat as a chaser. Pick your poison at this point.

 

Alright, so let's get Rodon, a lefty bat and shore up that pen. Right?

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

People shat on my for my “over reaction” but like I said, we’re going to have yet ANOTHER underwhelming deadline that won’t fix anything and if we make the playoffs it’ll be a short and quick exit. Hate the Yanks always getting everything!

[Terminator]

I was assuming that Cole and Cortes would be #1 and #2. And yeah, you're right on the rest of it. Solid deal for them but also doesn't scare me either.

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Rays acquiring Jose Siri from Astros as part of three-team deal sending Trey Mancini from Orioles to HOU, source tells @TheAthletic.

Tiedman - 100+

Martinez - 88

 

Waldichuk - 36

Medina - 60

 

Try to be less biased towards your own players.

[JFD]

Ross is gonna drop an Ohtani bomb on us tomorrow right?

[jaysblue]

Thought you had Cole and Severino (if he comes back which looks likely) as #1 and #2.

RISK ADVERSE-KINS

 

ROSS SITTING ON HIS ATKINS

 

ROSS ATKINS DIET (because he treats trades like someone on the Atkins diet treats carbs)

 

Am I missing any others? Or should we wait until the trade deadline is still over 24 hours away?

[Terminator]

Put the names in a hat and draw them idc. Bottom line is Montas is not much better than what they've already got. The only thing I'm really bummed about is that Ross didn't have the AAA reliever prospects that tickled Billy Beane's fancy.
