Owen White DFAed

Should happened last season. Never showed he could pitch successfully in the majors.

 

[saddles]

On the MLBTR chat today, they mentioned Lowe as an option for the Nationals.

The teams that wanted to sign Christian Walker may now consider trading for a 1B.

Jose Trevino has been traded to the Reds.

 

[saddles]

The Yankees got a reliever for Trevino. I wonder if they are looking to flip that reliever in a trade for a first-baseman. Just wondering.

they also got a minor league catcher Alex Jackson and maybe they are looking to flip him to the Rangers for Lowe and $3.8M

Anything is possible, but they already have a few catchers of his quality in the system. In 124 big league games his bat makes Hedges look like a great hitter. Lol

totally agree. but anything can happen

Yankees signing Goldschmidt to a 1 year $12.5M deal

 

[saddles]

Bob Nightengale adds the Giants and the adds to the list if team in the market for a 1B.

Mets
Yankees
Diamondbacks
Mariners
Giants
Nationals

Three trade targets including Nathaniel Lowe, and two free agents remain the primary 1B who are available. That would seem to indicate there are six teams looking at five 1B.

Taking the Yankees and Goldschmidt out of the picture that leaves five teams with four 1B.

RIP Ricky Henderson.

Arizona is off the list but Cleveland takes their place as Cleveland has traded Josh Naylor to them

And now Cleveland signs Santana.

 

[saddles]

Should the Rangers decide to trade Nathaniel Lowe, they should be able to get more for him than Cleveland got for Naylor. Him and Lowe have similar numbers, and Lowe has 2 years of control left while Natlor only has 1.

 

[saddles]

From Jeff Passan:

Over the last 24 hours:

Christian Walker to Houston
Paul Goldschmidt to the New York Yankees
Josh Naylor to Arizona
Carlos Santana to Cleveland

1B still available in free agency: Pete Alonso, Anthony Rizzo, Josh Bell, Ty France. In trades: LaMonte Wade Jr. and Nathaniel Lowe.

 

[Duane1952]

It seems like that the Rangers are possibly asking to much for Lowe.

 

[Bmurph]

I've wanted Goldy for a couple years now, would have rather had him than Burger really.

I dont think Lowe is going anywhere and if he does he likely doesn't fetch a lot in return. At least the Rangers won't get much for him with their history of poor trades

Hey, Murph. How have you been?
