So despite the fact that the Orioles are above .500 and very much in the Wild Card mix they are still selling. Dare I say smart? They probably are still 2 years away and the guys they are trading weren’t likely to be part of that wave anyway. They are going to be very scary in a few years.
Frankie Montas I feel is going to just cost way to much. He takes your top prospects and comes without the control. I don’t see the Jays making that trade.
I don't think you should ever empty your farm. But this regime has shown its not afraid of trading top prospects. Like they have already traded their 2020 and 2021 First Round Pick. If theres a big deal to be made I think they make it. I just don't think they empty the farm ever unless its someone like Soto.
Is it possible we could get Carlos Rodon from the Giants? Maybe even Joc Pederson as well. They aren't going to make the playoffs. Both of them are going to be Free Agents. We could play Gurriel more at First to get Pederson in the lineup in LF.
But Rodon would be the prize. He was the guy I wanted badly in the off-season. And hes having a monster year. Hes 100 percent opting out as his 110 innings have already vested. I think it be pretty stupid for the Giants to hang onto them. They are really bad. I think they just went under .500 as well.
I don't even understand why Collins is on the team. If we were going to have a third catcher just sit around we should be a glove first. Collins can't hit or field lol.
If were taking the Corbin contract they aren't getting Moreno, Martinez, and Ricky T. They can pick 2 of the 3. I don't know why we are taking that horrendous contract unless it lessens the return and we have the prospect capital to make the trade outright. Bowden is dumb.
Springer said he was fine but he didn’t really look fine. I’m sure it looked worse than it was but I have some serious doubts hes in the lineup tomorrow.
That’s the only way we’re finding out. Its not like these players are putting it in their instagram bio. I’m sure will find out more names of guys post trade deadline as to why they might not have been moved.
