MLB 2024 Trade Deadline…

[molsaniceman]

The weird thing is the Red Sox already had the full “James Paxton Experience” last year and he was mediocre, at best. He’s pretty-much cooked at this stage of his career. I don’t really get it.

low cost

I picked my Orioles seats from 2014-2019 in part because I wanted to sit up close and watch Manny Machado at 3B. I had the ticket package where I got to watch one game in each series. Getting close up to watch Machado every series, as well as get a glance once a year with Donaldson (later, got to see him 3-4 times a year) and Chapman was pretty fun.

Chapman is an absolute joy to watch. I knew he was good when we signed him, but has exceeded my expectations, watching him every day. I am actually neutral on trading him, because he is also a great clubhouse guy, and those guys are valuable in a youth movement.

Red Sox acquired LHP James Paxton from Dodgers, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
It’s a done deal, according to Passan. Paxton is going back to Boston, where he pitched in 2023, after being designated for assignment by the Dodgers earlier this week. He has a 4.43 ERA in 89 1/3 innings this year. The Dodgers will receive 17-year-old Moises Bolivar as part of the deal. Paxton figures to slot into the Red Sox rotation for the rest of the season.

I know nothing about this Bolivar kid, but he looks like a very nice lotto ticket. This is his age 16 season, and he is putting up decent numbers in the Dominican League. For a DFA-dump, that is a great return.

Damn those dogs.

Yeah he can strike some guys out so maybe the bullpen works. He's getting a big downgrade in ballparks for a left handed pitcher though. That Green monster probably feels pretty close to him compared to pitching in Seattle.

Might wanna recheck this this year

He has one of the worst K rates in baseball I believe. And walks a shit ton

yikes, you're right. Although he did get some swinging strikes in 3 of his last 5 starts so maybe he's coming around. But those walks are a killer.

Phillies acquired OF Austin Hays from the Orioles in exchange for RHP Seranthony Dominguez and OF Christian Pache.
Hays gives the Phillies a strong right-handed offensive option in the outfield. He’s hitting .328/.394/.500 against left-handed pitching this year and has hit .272/.328/.463 against left-handed pitching in his career. An All-Star a season ago for Baltimore, Hays finds himself as the odd man out in the crowded Orioles outfield.

Orioles acquired RHP Seranthony Dominguez and OF Christian Pache from Phillies in exchange for OF Austin Hays.
A day after Craig Kimbrel blew his sixth save, the Orioles have added some help for their bullpen. Dominguez is having a down year for his standards. His 4.75 ERA is well above his career 3.55 ERA and 3.78 ERA from 2023. Dominguez wasn’t an option for saves with the Phillies and doesn’t seem to be in line to close games for the Orioles either.

Looks very similar to another trade that was just posted to this thread…

Phillies gave up w Closer for a CF and it's the Orioles.

Ugh! And they aren’t even going to use him in the bullpen?? He can’t even give you more than 4 innings as a starter. He going to crush the bullpen. The Red Sox are not a serious organization anymore.

Mariners staying busy!

 

[ThomasTomasz]

That sets the market for relievers pretty high. Although both De Los Santos and Clase are pretty divisive prospects at least in fantasy circles

 

[mgomrjsurf]

Eflin to Baltimore.

Trades happening early this season

How am I just hearing about this now? Why have all of you been keeping him a secret from me all these years?

You bastids.

Orioles acquired RHP Zach Eflin from the Rays for INF/OF Mac Horvath, RHP Jackson Baumiester and OF Matthew Etzel.
The Orioles had cast a wide net in their search for an upgrade to their starting rotation and they were effective in landing one of the better options available. That may not mean they are finished though, as they still have room to upgrade and a logjam of prospects to deal from. Eflin made his final start for the Rays on Wednesday, so anticipate that he’ll make his Orioles’ debut at some point early next week.
