First, Corey Dickerson going for slot money and a PTBNL should indicate there's not much of a market for decentish corner outfield types.
(See Castellanos not going at all at least so far)

Are the Yankees going to do nothing? Cashman must be going out of his mind!

Second, Pence specifically signed with the Rangers on a minor league deal to go home. To simply swap him for what would just be a little cash when he's happy and home isn't really beneficial to the team
Hopefully not Fever Pitch the movie, in which case we'll have to cancel the chat and delete the logs.

Is Clint Frazier going to be traded?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:51
I suspect at this point, no.
3:52
BTW, David Robertson's seasons is over. Elbow surgery.
Possible TJ

Care to handicap where Wheeler pitches the rest of the year?  Mets, Astros, Rays, Yankees, Red Sox, Twins, Other?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Mets over field, then Rays

Why do trades come out in bits and pieces? How do reporters first find out about one individual player before others?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:54
uniquely today, the guys making the trades have like 10 minutes to make another trade instead of texting details to all the writers

Baseball media world is small. *Everyone* knows someone in a front office, an agent, etc.

Hey Kiley, you had Woods Richardson as a 'pick to click' before the season. If he has a good month at High A now, think he's a 50 on the offseason list?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:55
definitely possible, maybe likely

Dan, what are your thoughts on a potential Colome deal for the White Sox? What would be the best they could receive in return?
AvatarDan Szymborski
3:56
I think it would be someting similar to what Greene fetches.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:56
nothing has happened in like 4 minutes this is so lame guys

will there be a lot of post-4:00 Darvish-esque announcements today?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Maybe a 45 and a lotto pick? Or am I being too miserly?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:56
I think so
I think 45 and a lotto pick is about right
south of Shane Greene's value

Melancon trade was for Tristan Beck and Dan Winkler
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:57
Winkler is a lotto ticket with a shot to get outrighted at the end of the year. Beck is probably more 7th/8th inning guy but some chance to be a backend starter, depth prospect arm
Guest

Daniel Winkler and TRistan Beck for Melancon how do I feel?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:57
you feel good if SF is paying it down a good bit

Do you think the availability of data is contributing to the slow trade deadline/cold stove?  Is it that everyone has the same data and wants to hold tight?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:59
definitely to some degree
