Trade Deadline Rumors

[Mike A. S.]

Anyone hear any trade deadline rumors, post them here! Especially if it's Tigers-related, haha

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

A lot of teams after JD Martinez, most of the NL West actually

But being a rental, there is some speculation that the package may not meet the Tigers demands

Yankees and A's are apparently getting close on a Yonder Alonso deal, I dont know why

I was hoping when they pulled JD last night that it was because he was dealt...guess not though. You don't think Yankees are a good fit for Alonso?

Id like to give this kid they got from the Brewers a real look (3-4 last night, was amazing in AAA this season)


And I just dont think the Yankees are that close to mortgage future pieces for a guy like that, who I think is a FA

yeah, Cooper was raking in AAA but there is a logjam at 1st for the Brewers so unfortunately, he was expendable

certainly performing much better that Webb at this point

Hadn't noticed. Webb getting lit up?

Hadn't noticed. Webb getting lit up?

entered the game on Sunday with the bases juiced, no outs and gives up a Salami on the first pitch

last night, entered the game in the 8th last night with the Brewers down by a run and gives up a run on 3 straight hits with 2 outs

not ready to give up on him but haven't seen anything that special yet other than he is a left hander

He'd be perfect for the short porch in right

Alonso is a free agent after this season. Can't imagine he'd cost too much. Alonso's numbers are a bit inflated by his absurd May (.303/.425/.803 with 10 of his 21 home runs).

Lots of talk about Justin Wilson going to an NL team, perhaps the Nationals, even though they already acquired two RPs. Despite leading the East, the Nationals have the worst bullpen ERA in the NL, and will definitely need better arms in that department if they stay in front and make the postseason.

Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports that the Tigers and Cubs are "staying in contact" regarding a potential Alex Avila trade.

The Cubs are looking for a backup for Willson Contreras and Avila certainly looks like a good fit. The veteran backstop is making only $2 million this season and has put up a .292/.420/.518 batting line with 11 homers over 68 games.

The batting average for Avila is an anomaly, as he's only about a .245 hitter for his career. But he does have legit power from the left side, and draws a ton of walks. Still an above-average defensive catcher, too.

I'm hearing Justin Wilson Rays also

Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports that the Red Sox are among the clubs showing interest in Addison Reed.

Reed is drawing interest from a bevy of teams, which is no surprise. The Mets reliever has posted a 2.47 ERA and 45/5 K/BB ratio over 43 2/3 innings this season and is an impending free agent. The Red Sox would obviously want him in a setup role ahead of Craig Kimbrel.

The A's are scouting Yankees Single A affiliate Charleston, where #3 prospect Blake Rutherford and #15 Estevan Florial are playing.

If Oakland wanted to do Sonny Gray and Yonder Alonso for #4 Jorge Mateo, Rutherford, and Florial I would consider it.

Agreed, Rutherford is a borderline untouchable, but with both Alonso and Gray, would be a tough pass

Alonso being a FA adds a twist

To be honest, I don't see a path to the Bronx for Rutherford. He's a great prospect but his ETA for MLB is 2020, he has Judge and Frazier way out in front of him and if they do go crazy and sign Harper next winter he'll be a guy they trade at the 2019 deadline anyway.
