There are probably only 3-5 teams that have two assets like this and would be interested. My first guess was z3r0s but he said he was out. BTS going half-measures with his rebuild? Dinger flipping prospects already? Possibly TCA if we think Dansby + 2nd piece (Martes?) fits the description.

f***, Correa is hurt already.

You mean a Sale Sale duh

Had more to do with his FB% than his Pull%

Aaron Hill was really f***ing good. Shame his Blue Jays career ended on the worst string of bad BABIP luck in MLB history.

Also, Waino

Lester is at that age point where people start to get turned off, and with good reason.

Matt Bush throws 100 with a 93mph breaking ball. He's unhittable.

We've had a lot of really nice blockbusters this offseason. The trade history is on fire. Cespedes/Lester/Capps for Dahl/Gleyber/Devers/Wall/picks Abrea/Eaton/Tate for Rodgers/De Leon/Glasnow Marte for Bumgarner for Strasburg 3-way CMart/AlexWood for Swanson/Ventura(RIP in pieces)/Z.Collins Correa for Puig/Hendricks/Paddack Keuchel/Assdribble for Y.Alvarez/Cotton/Gsellman Cutch for C.David/Conforto/Iwakuma for Willy Adames 3-way Beltre/Porcello/Arcia/Fisher for Darvish Manaea/Herrera for Mejia/C.Stewart/Brach/Dyson what's your favourite trade?

MATT BUSH wow he's elite

Well they project for nearly identical AVG and OBP. Dahl is more 15/20 while Cespedes is more 25/5 + better R and RBI. I mean with Cespedes' age and quad injury stuff last year, it's very conceivable that Dahl can wRC+ 100 in Coors and easily out-value Yoenis immediately. I don't think it's likely but it's within the realm of possibility. Devers I've always hated but I guess if you squint your nose he smells like Mazara or something like that - just one of those young guys who has all the talent but doesn't OPS a million because he's like 18 years old. I hate both of these owners making this trade so I hope all the players involved DIAF.

it's one of those trades where Dinger got absolutely jobbed unless he strikes gold on one of the prospects, in which case silvergun will roll over in his DDL grave and his 4 gold medals will clang together in the process

21 Taijuan On! 22 Taijuan On! 23 (insert clever name) 24 Georgia Peach 25 Sammy's Sluts 26 London Slayers 27 London Slayers 28 Seniors Circuit 29 Taijuan On! 30 Hail To The Victor

If Christian Arroyo ever gets ONE major league save, I'll run a lap around the Rogers Centre naked

Swinging Strikes are gross though, ew

89 wRC+ in AA, wicked.

This is the second time that Luke Gregerson has gone 19th overall in the DDL waiver draft. Trivia.

He's no replacement level 1B, I'll give you that.

I'll just take Gregerson I guess.

Hellickson just went for almost nothing in the DDL. You traded Howie Kendrick for a useless pick and acquired Cesar Hernandez for a useless pick (both decent bats). Ivan Nova went for almost nothing. Near the back of rosters it really just depends on the connection - who is buying, who is selling, how much they value the players. Everyone values players in the 200-1000+ o-rank range drastically different. I tried to get Chen in the DDL a while ago, hoping you would want some pick, and you asked for something I thought was preposterous. Can't remember what but I don't think I even responded. Might have been Neil Walker. Maybe that's a fair trade for some people but it was way down the road from what I thought he was worth.

Probably more complicated then you think. For them it's all about being an MLB pitcher, and the team is trying to get them on a minor league deal. That's tough to begin with.

RHRP Chris Smith is getting some surprising mentions right now. Arden Zwelling mentioned him along with Rowdy Tellez when asked which young guys he was looking forward to getting eyes on. I did not know Chris Smith existed until this afternoon. Never heard of him. Apparently he was called up for a day last September when Benoit got hurt. Anyway, his numbers last year were pretty sick. 81 K's in 60 innings between AA and AAA. Apparently he throws hard (95) with a good slider. http://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.cgi?id=smith-011chr Really interesting, long route to get here too. He was a Div 2 two-way player who converted to pitching, went to indy ball for a few years (getting released multiple times), then the ABL, then the Yankees for a few years (broke his forearm, came back and was decent, got released, re-signed, released again.). http://www.minorleagueball.com/2015/8/5/9099145/blue-jays-farmhand-chris-smith-an-arduous-journey-through-the-minor https://www.canadianbaseballnetwork.com/canadian-baseball-network-articles//released-and-re-released-chris-smith-now-a-big-league-reliever-with-jays Go Chris Smith! And get used to the name, because he's on the 40 now and he has three options left.

awful awful awful awful awful Ross will probably come back from the dead though because connor p. walks on water

I wonder what guys who throw ~90 sit at in their first spring training BP sessions. I would assume some sit 90, other sit 85. Depends on the guy. Ryu could still maybe possibly not suck? But he's probably done.
