Deadline Strategy

[msgkings322]

Moves are being made and that's ^^^ what we're up to?

 

[msgkings322]

So should we look at a major name like Snell? OK he's a rental, let's take a shot? Price might not be that bad because of it.

The Puds are in full sale mode. They put Soto on the block as well.

I could seriously think about putting a package together around Luciano if Soto and/or Snell were the prize.

Soto sure but not for 2 months of Snell

Snell only? Sure, I can agree that is too much for that.

Oh so like a package that gets us both of them..with Luciano.what else would we likely have to include probably Bart and Ramos too I'd think minimum, perhaps a pitcher or 2 (Winn, etc)

I am horrible at putting together trades, but sure, I will embarrass myself…

Soto only has 1 more season of control (he is an Arb4 in ‘24 after making 23m this season). Snell is a FA after this year.

Even though both are superstars, getting 1 season and 2x2months isn’t much for a ready-to-play Uber prospect. But in a seller’s market, I understand that will likely be the starting point of any negotiations.

Not sure I would like this, but maybe something like…

Luciano
Ramos
Loupp
Dabovich

4

Snell
Soto

2 ready to play prospects (1 Uber-prospect, 1 former Uber-prospect who has lost his luster) and 2 promising B prospects likely ready by ‘24.

That is a steep price, but it might give us an inside track on extending both to longer deals (not certain I would want to sign Snell to the kind of contract he would be looking for, though)

Then there's the 'will SD trade in their division' question

Mitchell 4 Davis…

 

[msgkings322]

Mitchell 4 Davis…

Kind of a long time ago, you don't think it matters?

 

[calsnowskier]

Kind of a long time ago, you don't think it matters?

What’s 35 years between friends?

 

[calsnowskier]

And I still argue that that is quite possibly the most successful trade for both teams in the history of the game. The VERY next year, MVP (Mitchell) and CY (Davis).

I don't think the Puds would trade us anyone, but who knows.

I want Bellinger.

Imagine doyerfan in the playoffs when we start Joc and Cody...

Pretty sure the Dodgers don't care what their castoffs are doing.

 

[msgkings322]

Marlins getting Robertson to close is not helpful to our wild card hopes. Need to see some meaningful adds from FZ

Doggies are getting Lynn and Kelly…

Good, because I think Lynn is washed and Kelly sucks

Giolito is the one I wanted from the Sox. They might deal a useful reliever like Graveman but that's the last thing we need.

Also I think we're really chasing a wild card spot not likely to beat the Dodgers for the division, unless of course FZ gets us some real help.

Graveman to the ‘Stros…

Graveman to the ‘Stros…

For a nothing special prospect...at least he went to Cal!

 

[tzill]

Maybe not the doyers, but doyerfan probably does.

Meanwhile they pick up washed Lance Lynn and mediocre Joe Kelly while Graveman goes to the Ass-tros.

LOL doyers.
