Wow, have you seen the return for Peralta and Skuball?

[Brandon]

Peralta brought the Mets 3 prospects.  None of them are in the Rays top 30.

 

Skuball was also reasonable 1 top 100 prospect and 1 top 200 and a third prospect.

I wonder why we didn't push the cost up

According to which rankings.  Most I have seen have Skubal for 2 top 75 prospects

Cause we didn’t wanna lose out on the chance to get the incomparable Dean Kremer of course

The rays traded their 15th, 26th and 27th. Their system is as deep or deeper than the Twins. Peralta has had a rough year plus is only a 2 month rental. 
 

Skubal brought a top 25 and top 70 prospect who the Tigers really liked. I do think Detroit could have gotten more but that’s a lot for a rental.

If you're a Tigers fan, it's hard not to like the return for a rental, even if it's the best rental in the league. As a Twins fan, I don't want Hope and Ryan in the Tigers system.

The Mets got nothing back because they traded away a guy who apparently can only pitch well while wearing a Brewers uniform.

Hard to know how good any of these players (the traded prospects) are or whether they can contribute at the major league level at some point. Because I watch Wichita, I have seen Hope play a number of times. He wasn't particularly impressive in my extremely limited views (maybe 5 games). The prospect guys do what they can and they have relevance to judging talent to some extent. I wouldn't trade Winokur for Hope though, just from my viewing.
