The first Yankees prospect mentioned in the deal is Rafael Flores. Their #8 prospect per MLB but only 40 FV per MLB. Catcher.
Not a good sign that he is the first named! lol
The Tiger's budget pitching infusion is kind of funny. The No Frills trade deadline trip.
Acquired Codi Heuer (in the minors right now?) for cash
Acquired Kyle Finnegan (4+ ERA and xFIP) for Josh Randall and RJ Sales
Acquired Paul Sewald (IL)(4+ ERA and xFIP) for cash/PTBNL
Acquired Rafael Montero (negative WAR) for Jim Jarvis
Acquired Chris Paddack and Randy Dobnak for some guy
Talk about throwing s*** at the wall
Personally, I see no reason to give Manoah any MLB starts this year unless the division is clinched. I believe Toronto can just option him when his rehab is over.
He might have also suffered some sort of setback. Last pitched July 20th.
Probably because:
most of the players suck
the small number of players who don't suck actually have other domestic options so they require too much money to leave. they just enter the KBO pipeline rather than uproot their entire life for a $100k signing bonus.
No, it means he gets $4M from the team if he declines his option.
It was basically a way for Cleveland to defer money so they could maybe avoid ever paying it if he was traded.
Like, Bieber is more of a 2/$60M extension candidate for me. Assuming he stays healthy through the playoffs and looks good.
Some kind of prove it deal like the ones we saw Snell and Matt Chapman go through. And Pete Alonso just sign.
I'm still scratching my head at what Jack Flaherty settled for last offseason.
No matter what Bieber does he's going to have a tiny sample platform year so I can't see 6 years
