2024 Trade Deadline

[Carlos Danger]

The trade deadline's getting weird, Crochet the trailblazer, and 7 other observations

https://thescore.com/mlb/news/3043943

 

Interesting little article. Did you guys hear Crochet is demanding an extension for him to pitch in October? Never heard of that before. Can a player actually just refuse to play in the playoffs???

 

Also the first I've read about a "cover 2 defense" and suppressing doubles.

 

That is why I never had Crochet as the number 1 target SP for a playoff team. Even before his agent said that last week he had pitched more than he ever had in his life and huge questions if he would need to be shut down.

 

I think it would need to be a Team that is so far ahead and locked into a playoff spot they could sit him for a while and fire him back up full speed in October, still a high risk....

 

Hader kinda did the same thing.. But not the same and Hader has cred.

 

Not a good situation and the agent screwed up big time by making it public/letting it get public IMO.

I get why Crochet would want to make such a demand but he doesn't have nearly the pedigree nor leverage to do so. Plus where is the competitive spirit? If he feels he has limited time in his baseball career, wouldn't winning a championship be top priority? Enjoy throwing whatever pitches you have left for a last place team, Garrett.

 

Getting paid would be his top priority.

[Carlos Danger]

Jazz to Yankees????

 

Yup, looks like it.

[Carlos Danger]

Our division is just getting so much better than the Blue Jays. On a different level.

[Jimcanuck]

Chisholm and Tanner Scott to Yankees

 

Spencer Jones, Will Warren, Jorbit Vivas to Marlins

 

Prefer the Yanks side by a lot

[BTS]

Is Chisolm going back to 2B and Torres to 3B?

[Brownie19]

Getting paid would be his top priority.

 

I agree. First priority is to setup your family for life. Second priority is to win a championship.

[Jimcanuck]

Is Chisolm going back to 2B and Torres to 3B?

 

That's my understanding

I'm not seeing this as the trade

[BTS]

Nope. Jim joining Carlos as spreaders of Fake News

It's all bulloni

[Carlos Danger]

Estevez to the Phillies.

[BTS]

This seems light

 

[Daniel Labude]

Estevez to the Phillies.

 

We sold Garcia at an extreme discount apparently lmao

[MikeM3]

Would have taken one of Klassen or Aldegheri for Yimi lol

[BCZ]

This just in: Atkins selling to make the Blue Jays a mediocre team for the next 5+ years

[L54]

We got Derek Fisher and Tyler Heinymen for Garcia

 

Angels get two legitimate SP prospects for Estevez

 

Yay team

[Carlos Danger]

Winker to the Mets

 

 

He seems like a Met…

[Brownie19]

Yay team

 

This is what happens when your pitcher is coming back from an arm injury. Value drops.

[Carlos Danger]

Max Fried to the IL. The Braves are reeling. Good time to trade them Bassitt for max return. No pun intended.

The discrepancy in returns appears much larger than just injury discount to me than to you I suppose

[Carlos Danger]

Wow, Adam to the Padres. The Rays are better then us and going full tear down mode. I don’t get it. If they hung in there, they have Springs, and Rassmussen and others coming back.

 

Maybe they looked at their run differential…

Perhaps. I don't pretend to know all those prospect in depth. Maybe Atkins is a f***ing useless douchenozzle who can't do anything right. Or maybe not - maybe he canvased all the buyers and that was the market value for Garcia for various reasons.

Ross Atkins spit out his drink after reading this.

Is Adam’s now arb eligible? If he is it’s a payroll dump.

[Carlos Danger]

 

I know Lesko has been struggleing, but he was a top spec. Good job by the Rays who will probably fix him. Shocked they got Lesko.

[Carlos Danger]

Is Adam’s now arb eligible? If he is it’s a payroll dump.

 

I guess so. I thought the Randy A deal was a kind of one off. I guess not.

[BTS]

2024 was his first arb year. He has 2 more before FA, and will probably make around 4M next year. Rays doing Rays stuff.
