If someone started one, I missed it. I know most trades have been completed already, but what the heck.
I don’t get it, so the Mets are trading to win now but also offering Diaz in a deal? Or did I read that wrong.
I can't recall the article but I think it was FanGraphs that did an analysis regarding prospects traded in general and they seem to have a substantially lower success rate than those who stay in the same organization.
I believe they attributed it to the fact that the franchise trading the prospect has a substantially better evaluation of him than an outside organization would have. Meaning a prospect traded may have some sort of flaw(s) that was identified by the team and they were willing to trade him due to inflated evaluations that others may not be aware of.
“They don’t have many players that teams want,” a source with an American League team said of the players Seattle is looking to trade.

They’ve been trying to trade right-hander Mike Leake for the past two months after a proposed trade with the Diamondbacks that was scuttled by Mariners ownership. - No wonder Leake is pissed at M's.

That injury issue might be prohibitive when it comes to the Rays. Multiple sources have indicated they may have cooled on acquiring Santana.

Seattle was looking to trade second baseman Dee Gordon. But a quad strain that landed Gordon on the injured list may have ended that possibility. Gordon is eligible to return from the IL on Aug. 1. But given his salary — he’s owed $14 million next season — and the nature of the injury, the Mariners may have to wait until the offseason to move Gordon.
