At the deadline, does Dipoto just set up a conference call will all 29 other GMs?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
4:00
everyone is just yelling trade offers over each other on the same conference call
ben
4:00
At this point, are GMs texting, talking on phone, or both?

4:01
Does the Pomeranz move increase the likelihood of a Bumgarner move or are those more or less independent?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
4:01
at the deadline it's phone to close, then handoff to lieutenants to do admin end of it
AvatarDan Szymborski
4:01
Independent I think.

How long after 1 will we have to wait to hear if a trade was submitted?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
4:02
it sometimes takes 15 min to hear of the stuff that happened right at the deadline

pour one out for waiver trades boys

Joey Wentz and Travis Demeritte for Shane Greene per twitter
Demeritte makes sense as a change of scenery guy that's performing right now, rebuilding clubs can let him play and ATL won't
4:04
I could see Muller being off limits and DET choosing between Alex Jackson and Wentz and taking the higher upside arm. Wentz is a solid average stuff athletic lefty, shot to be a #3/4 but the velo hasn't been in pro ball where it was at the end of HS.
4:06
uhhh this reported Jesus Sanchez and Ryne Stanek to MIA deal for Trevor Richards and Nick Anderson has me a bit confused

Are we gonna get a post on changes to team farm rankings from the board pre and post-trade deadline?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
4:06
the farm rankings board is auto-updated as the list changes push to THE BOARD
Josh
4:08
It would be neat to see $ movers in team Board rankings in a pre/post trade deadline in a blog post w/ some comments.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
4:09
oh that will be happening and also will be an feature on the farm board itself by opening day of 2020

Do you think the deadline will move to the 15th, for one reason or another eventually?
AvatarJay Jaffe
4:09
Hey folks, I'm late, having written up both the Maldonado and Pomeranz barnburners in short order.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
4:09
I think it probably should and GMs complaining when a key guy gets hurt tomorrow will maybe move it

4:10
Not a bad return for the Tigers from Greene then
AvatarKiley McDaniel
4:10
I told a friend that asked weeks ago what Greene would fetch that it would be a headliner that's not a 50 FV and an extra piece or two that's around 35+ or 40
so about what was expected
AvatarJay Jaffe
4:10
the 15th of July, or August? I think if it's August, teams will be less likely to trade significant assets; you're shortening the window from about 8-9 weeks to 6-7.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
4:12
Aaron Sanchez, Mike Leake and Nick Castellanos all going well after 4:00!
Sanchez to HOU will be a big one to monitor and see if they can fix it
Leake and Gallen to ARI props up that rotation for 2019 and 2020
Castellanos to the Cubs is fine too?
Kiley McDong
4:13
Do you have an upgraded report on Demeritte?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
4:14
big power, tools to play passable IF but hasn't always done enough for it to work so he's been mostly LF lately.  Could see him being above 100 wRC+ for stretches, ultimately more of a RH power bench bat. Has been passed over in the last 2 Rule 5 drafts
AvatarJay Jaffe
4:14
whoa and i"ve been pulled back out to write up the Castellanos deal. Deadline chat, I never knew ye
AvatarKiley McDaniel
4:15
but has also notably improved this year
FINE I'LL DO IT MYSELF
and GREINKE TO HOUSTON OFF THE TOP ROPE
4:19
So i just stepped out to see about all these hot trades coming off the presses
4:20
damn there's more
lots of late heat
