Kyle Muller would make some sense but may be a bit rich, Alex Jackson and Jasseel De La Cruz would also seem to be DET types
3:31
As covered in yesterday's article, ATL has no 40-man issues and have preferred under this regime to move multiple lower prospects and hold onto the close to MLB higher ranked dudes

Are the brewers just going for quantity rather than quality? Maybe I was deluded into thinking they would actually trade for someone noteworthy.
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:31
We still have a half-hour yet, but I *am* disappointed that the Brewers haven't made a more significant starting pitcher add than Lyles.
3:32
Lyles is interesting enough that it's fine to have him at 5, but he shouldn't be *the* rotation pickup.
And yes, Pomeranz can technically start, but I wouldn't be interested in that.

I'm devastated about the the Dubon trade for the Brewers. Trading your 3rd best prospect for old trash isn't awesome.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:33
Dubon is a high probability, ready for MLB utility IF that has a chance to have a multi-year run as a 2 WAR type 50ish FV.  You have to be willing to move that guy for a playoff run

Is Tanner Roark going to the A’s an upgrade for his value, or does it take a hit?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:33
And MIL has been able to invent that guy, i.e. Villar or Hernan Perez
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:34
I think it's an upgrade for his value. No QO now.

Why haven't my beloved A's gotten more pitching? Is the injury riddled cadre of arms really going to be back in time to make a difference in the rotation?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:34
Roark is a solid pitcher. Whether you're the REAL David or not.
Kel
3:34
Should dodgers start looking at Kela if Vasquez isn't working?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:35
I would, but the Pirates, smelling Ruiz/Lux blood, may not want to downsell the Dodgers on a lower model.

I heard you have speculation in this chat, Kiley

Is the Joe Panik era over?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

don't panik now, bro
Cooper

See any Royals deals happening today?
Jimbo

How is Dubon a future utility IF if he has a plus hit and avg field at a premium position?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:36
I don't think the Royals are realistic enough to be a good partner in anything but the most basic trades.
But I could be biased.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:36
that 35 game power means it's below average offense with not much chance to beat the projection

Kiley, what’s the best and most likely return Leake could bring if Seattle paid down the whole salary?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:38
I like Rocky Gale because his name sounds like a 1950s crooner.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:38
1.5 years of free Mike Leake could maybe get you a 45 FV prospect?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:39
The Twins have acquired Marcos Diplan for cash, too
Jon
3:39
Any chance the Tigers get Waters?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:39
I can't see how
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:40
John Ryan Murphy is a Braves. Pure depth pickup though.

With 30 mins to go, do you think the idea of switching from two deadlines to one was a success? However you define it
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:40
I think it's a success in that you don't have this August waiver weirdness and the uncertainty for players stretching a whole other month
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:40
it's more entertaining this way
more challenging for the clubs
