Cubs are not really good. Cards are in flux
7:40
The Brewers big two aces contract situation is gonna come to a head
Strakman
7:40
I agree with that Frank. Injuries have hurt the Pirates with Cruz and their young third baseman.
Frank Novak
Cutch already said he wants to stick around
7:40
They might not be all that far off from being interesting
7:39
I don’t know. Pirates gotta be seeing the light at the end of the rebuild here
SC Jim
7:39
Any way we pry Bednar from the Pirates if they struggle the next week or so?
Strakman
7:39
With Anderson, if he does well down the stretch, then you have a reasonable team option figure to keep him for '24.
Frank Novak
7:39
Giants really don’t need another reliever. But Kendall Graveman would make one hell of a setup guy for Doval
7:38
Getting Graveman would harken back to a classic Sabean strategy of take a team strength (bullpen) and double down on it
He’d make for an annoying Dodger
7:37
Anderson has some swag too. I could see him fitting in the clubhouse in SF
SC Jim
7:37
The more I think about it the more I'm liking the idea of Giolito and Anderson. Just not confident about Craw's knee and Anderson and Thairo is a potentially strong MI.
Frank Novak
7:36
The Dodgers will do that kind of deal with something extra like take (outrighted) Leury Garcia and his contract off the White Sox’ hands to cut the prospect cost down
Strakman
7:34
I would definitely consider a deal with the White Sox if Giolito and Anderson and Graveman are in the mix.
Frank Novak
7:34
If I was Scott Harris I’d be calling the Cardinals on Giovanny Gallegos and the Rays on Yonny Chirinos - two controllable arms and then replace the modest prospects I give up for those two arms by trading Shreve and Cisnero.
7:33
Jose Cisnero and Chasen Shreve from the Tigers, both pending FAs, could be a low cost fit for a couple middle tier prospects
SC Jim
7:33
True. Pretty much everyone needs pitching. If they can get ti the dance I wouldn't sleep on the Brewers.
Strakman
7:32
If I'm the Reds, I'm looking for a decent starting pitcher and maybe some more BP help.
Frank Novak
I think the Reds need pitching. THEY could also be a suitor for Giolito
7:31
White Sox used to have a reliever named Jace Fry too
SC Jim
7:31
Off the subject of the Giants, I think the Reds need another  veteran presence in their LU. I could see them trying to get someone like Renfro.
Strakman
7:30
Berger is only hitting .223, but he's got 21 homers and a slugging at .530. He can play first, third, DH of course.
Frank Novak
7:29
You think it’s a heavy return? I think that’s probably about what it’d cost
SC Jim
7:28
I tend to agree.
Strakman
7:28
Gonzo has one more option year I think.
Frank Novak
7:28
Having not played all season Gonzalez wouldn’t fetch anything
SC Jim
7:28
Return much...LOL
7:27
Could the Giants trade Luis Gonzalez? Perhaps he wouldn't reutn much. I don't know.
Frank Novak
7:27
I don’t know that they’ll make Jake Burger available. I think Luciano would interest the Sox. Giolito, Graveman and Anderson for Luciano, Mason Black, Joey Bart and Jake Junis?
Strakman
7:26
I could see that SC.
7:25
Or from the White Sox, Giolito and Anderson, or Giolito and Berger, what will that cost Frank.
Frank Novak
7:25
I would say Mason Black, Tyler Fitzgerald and a third prospect- another arm- feels about right. Maybe Roupp or Winn?
SC Jim
7:25
I think there might be some three team trades coming up.
Strakman
7:24
To the Giants from the Cardinals, DeJong and Montgomery. What's that gonna cost the Giants Frank?
Frank Novak
7:24
I would agree on Freeland. But I imagine they’ll deal Jurickson Profar to say we did something and that’ll be that
SC Jim
7:23
Maybe a change of scenery would do Freeland some good. I think he's better than his numbers.
Frank Novak
7:23
I like McMahon. But they’ve got about as much a shot at acquiring Jim McMahon as they do Ryan
Strakman
7:22
McMahon would be nice.
Frank Novak
7:22
Colorado never plays much trade
