A Pirates fan sent me a text saying he's glad they're getting Archer but shouldn't they have just kept Cole? He's not wrong, is he?
Travis Sawchik
3:16
It's not clear, or even likely, that Cole would have performed this well in Pittsburgh this season
Astros have done well in extracting value out of players

finshing the last question, he doesn't have the arrow by his name, but Cubs LHP Brailyn Marquez in the AZL is a hot name with a heater into the mid-90's

Kiley, you mentioned that NYY has one of baseball’s top Int’l Departments-If I recall they lost Moncada due to a Steinbrenner In Law running that group-how did they improve so quickly?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:18
Good memory. He was more an extension of ownership that was longer associated with ownership pretty soon after
It's an autonomous group now that Cash appears to believe in and funnel resources to

Kiley, when do you and Eric get to sleep again?

I just got to Birmingham for tomorrow's East Coast Pro Showcase
so after that, probably

Is there going to be scouting write-ups on all of the prospects the Twins have received via trade the last few days? On that note, which prospect that they acquired is your favorite?

Re: Rizzo. It's not like the Red Sox gave up all that much to get Nathan Eovaldi. There's plenty of deals to be made; Rizzo makes none of them.

3:19
There will be a post right after 4 pm with all of the traded prospects
Travis Sawchik
3:19
I think some criticism of Nats is warranted, certainly. Catcher, for instance, has been a glaring void for several seasons

Give us a WTF major leaguer that will get traded, so in an hour we can be like 'That Sawchik dude, he's some sorta rainman trade savant,' when it occurs. Worst case we just forget you suggested it.

Trevor Williams

If he's not traded this chat never happened

My A/C died, so I'm using Mike Rizzo's feet to keep things cold
Travis Sawchik
3:21
That's cold

Did the Braves overpay for Duvall? I know all three are kind of spare parts but Sims still has starter potential, Wisler seems like a solid candidate for mid-inning relief, and Tucker is a perfectly cromulent bench OF.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:22
Tucker was acquired on waivers, Sims looks more and more like a 6th starter and Wisler looks like a depth reliever that's not super dependable. Duvall has been unlucky this year, allows for a Inciarte platoon, takes Markakis' spot and clear 40-man room

Can someone explain what the rays are doing? They think they can compete in the next year or 2, as evidenced by the Pham trade, but now they're dealing Ramos and possibly Archer?

players are stocks man, open your mind

Orioles are reportedly nearing another trade?  Any idea who it will be?  Seems Jones has been ruled out.  Givens?  O'Day?  Bundy?  Gausman?  Schoop?  TRADE THEM ALL!!!

Appears trade deadline fever is spreading
Travis Sawchik

Ha. Rays are just waiting on Wander Franco

CLE still need another OF? RH RF?
Travis Sawchik
3:23
CLE could still use another OF. It's not like Michael Brantley is the best bet to remain healthy and there is the RF strong-side platoon question

We've already seen the Yankees clear spots on the 40-man roster in anticipation of this upcoming year's Rule 5 draft, are there any other teams we could expect similar moves out of today and over the next month?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:23
Appears ATL just did it for Duvall
Maple Oneill
3:24
Can we have a moment of silence for all the baseballs in St. Louis that Tyler O'neill is about to murder?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:24
I am here for his brand of crushing

Can a trade be made at 3:55 pm EST and nixed later if medical reports have something wrong? Or do teams have to keep their medical staff busy reading reports all day today?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:25
Guys are already cleared now for teams in talks up to the deadline

If you were Mike Rizzo, what is the minimum offer would you take in exchange for Harper? (Ie 1 50 FV, 2 45s, etc)
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:25
one 50 FV to start
Travis Sawchik
3:26
If I'm the Indians I give that for Harper

Archer to Pirates
