2023 MLB Trade Deadline

[steveringo]

Who's in and who's out? Sellers or Buyers?

The Cardinals are with the cellars.

The Cardinals are with the cellars.

27-41 and only 8.5 GB. They're in a hole, but the rest of the Central isn't in much better shape.

The only teams I'd say are dead are KCR/OAK/WAS/COL.

Giolito is the name that I hear come up most often speculatively. Chicago probably tries to deal him even if they aren’t that far back. Too many teams in the hunt need SP.

I was making a pun about the Cards being in last place. When is the last time they were a last place team in mid-June? And they just lost Helsley. I think they likely reset with a new manager in 2024.

Anyone want Bartolo Colon? Apparently he didn't retire even though he hasn't played in years. He did play in the Mexican League in 2021. Why doesn't he just retire, I don't get it.

He did like 2 weeks ago

They don't retire because they love playing, why not?

I had no idea the Cardinals record was that bad. It's puzzling, until you look at their starting rotation. Yikes

I'm with you. I'm not about to give another guy career instruction. Play until they stop paying you. Rickey Henderson was playing with the Long Island Ducks well into his 40s.

I just noticed the Marlins are leading the NL wild card race. Is this another season where they load up at the trade deadline, win the world series, then fade back to obscurity?

Any chance that Corbin Burnes is still available for trade? I know that his arbitration hearing created some bad blood between him and the organization. But the Brewers are still “in it”. I would love for the Phillies to get in on that. He isn’t a FA until after the 2024 season so it’s more than a rental.

Marcus Stroman would be a great add as well if the Phil’s can’t get Burnes.

I think he likely gets dealt.

Twins need to say fuck it and swing big this year. Considering how badly the Reds bent us over for Mahle, odds are whoever we trade away will suck.

Swing for Goldy or Arenado. The AL is wide open if this team can get a bat or two.

Guessing they just focus on random ass relievers. Couldnt even get Chapman for a high end.

I don't think the Twins have the bullets to get either of them. Both prospects from the Berrios trade have flamed out. Do you really want to trade Brooks Lee (The only truly great prospect that isn't up) and change for a rental, win a bad division, and just get fucked up by the Astros, Rangers or Rays?

Doubt Brooks Lee makes a difference for Arenado. First ballot HOFer that is still in the back half of his prime, with a deal for four more years.

Goldy somehow is still holding on like its his prime and only locked up thru next season. seems the easier target, wouldnt be a rental, but would be a real expensive guy to add.

Forgot Arenado signed that big deal before being traded to St. Louis. I still don't like the idea of giving up Lee for Goldy, even though that wouldn't be enough. We've fucked our farm system pretty badly the last couple years though poor trades. I just don't trust this front office to make a good trade.

Goldy would be as safe of a 36 year old add as there could be. (36 next season anyway). But I’m in your corner on this.

The division is awful. If you can’t win it without mortgaging your future, you aren’t going to matter in the tourney anyway.

as they should. That pitching staff is broken and they might as well see what they can get for the few useful pitchers they do have (Montgomery, Mikolas, Flaherty)

Wainwright's chase for 200 wins reminds me a lot of Tim Wakefield trying to get #200
