MLB Trade deadline

[bunsen82]

Figured we might as well have a megathread for the trade deadline.  I am currently hoping from 4 different stories.  

The market is starting to move.  Both Roger brothers have been traded today.  Rumors that Duran trade is being completed.  Jax and Castro maybe Bader all pulled mid inning in the 9th.  

[bunsen82]

The Mets gave Tidwell #10 prospect and Gilbert #12 prospect for Tyler Rogers.   That is a large amount for just a 1/2 year of Rogers.

Mariners appear to be the leaders to get Duran.   Wonder what that trade would look like.

There it is folks - a rental reliever just netted two nice AAA prospects.  The third guy ain't bad either.

Given what the Giants just got for 2 months of Tyler Rogers, who knows what Duran or even Jax will fetch in a trade.

[bunsen82]

Ferguson to the Mariners.   Does this take them out of the Duran Sweepstakes or is this on top?  

[bunsen82]

Jeter Martinez for Ferguson.   

Thats a little more reasonable trade.  Martinez looks like a solid prospect,

#13 Mariner prospect per MLB.com.  Feel like the M's would still be in on Duran if they wanted

He was middle relief -  Duran still definitely in play.

Yeah, you probably don't pivot to a left handed reliever if you get denied the right hander.

But I'm not trading Duran unless it's something obviously too good to pass up.

I mean, you asked if the Furguson trade took them out of the Duran sweepstakes.  I was just answering the question.

[bunsen82]

Kepler scratched in Philly.

Yep was waiting to see what the return was.  Pretty low all things considered.  Read additional follow up that he was for middle relief.

For sure.  Not really interested in trading controllable players for multiple years unless its too good to pass up.

So Charlee Soto, who is #13 in the Twins org.

He basically is Charlee Soto with control issues this year.   

[bunsen82]

The Kepler scratch is odd.  Wonder if there is any possibilities he could come back for the remainder of the year if it meant maximum return in a trade from Phillies.  

[bunsen82]

Duran to Dodgers maybe???? 

 

Nothing yet to confirm. 

[bunsen82]

Nix the previous post I am not seeing any confirmation.  The rumor was for 2 top 10 Dodger prospects.  No names.  

[bunsen82]

Seeing Mariners as still the leaders for Duran.  Going to be off for a couple hours.  See if anything happens.

Emerson and Ford or tell them to GFT.

I think Ford has to be included in a trade for Duran. 

[bunsen82]

Duran to Phillies

[PseudoSABR]

 

[PseudoSABR]

Painter would be a huge get.

[PseudoSABR]

 

[notoriousgod71]

Well, they saved money anyway. Great trade, guys!

[GeorgeLooney]

So much for getting Painter…..obviously nobody knows how these guys will pan out but it sure looks like we didn’t get as much as we were expecting.

So after that Duran trade, is the 'higher up' directive just
"Dump them all, returns are only a unexpected bonus for our unwanted [$$] talent?"

Quote

Bobby Nightengale of the Minnesota Star Tribune echoed Feinsand’s statement, writing that the Twins have not “ruled out” trading Jax, but their asking price could now be astronomical – perhaps too high for anyone to meet.

I guess the logic is that Falvey thinks the team can still compete in 2026 without Duran, but moving Jax would be too much... yeah, I dunno about that. And given Jax's tendency to give up a lot of runs this year despite his great peripherals, it seems like he might stay put. We'll find out if he can handle being the closer or not.
