Can he play LF? Lol
I asked Newberg a couple of years ago which of our SS prospects did he think would have the best chance to convert to an outfielder and he said, Ornelas.

How many players does it take to get Alcantara? Know it won't happen so just joking.

Looks like it was a good night to miss a game

Guessing Dallas K has nothing left in the tank

The necessary package would probably look like this; Leiter, Winn, Foscue, White, Duran/Harris.
Hmmm. Interesting. Has a 6.4 WAR, turns 27 in a couple of weeks, signed up thru 2027 with 2027 being a team option and his salary next year is 6.3 mill and in 2024 9.3 mill. Of course the concern with many starting pitchers not named Verlander can they keep pitching at a high level.

That's the thing. He's an absolute stud but if you give that kind of trade package for him he better continue to perform like a top-five pitcher. I think I'd rather sign someone through free agency like Rodón or trade for a guy like Lopez or Skubal that wouldn't cost as much in prospects.

Unless they want some younger guys already in the majors and some prospects. Then it might be three from each category.

I can understand that line of thinking. my thoughts are just as we have no guarantee that he pitches at that level we have no guarantee that any of these prospects produce at a high level not to mention that there are only so many positions to be filled. So some have to be trade bait.
