That said. I'm not sure what I do. 

Agree, tough call, but probably because I've been waiting to see Culpepper for over a year and the team keeps denying me.

I almost want to say it's a floor vs ceiling debate, but I'm not sure that's the case either. Neto looks capable of being a SS who can hit 30 HR. I don't sneeze that that kind of floor.

Rutschmann and Detmers both traded.  

[MMBoys93]

Please no on Neto

Metrics hate him defensively. 
metrics think his bat is awful this year. This would be such a massive overpay it’s not funny.

I am shocked that both Astros and Twins are trying to revive this deal.  If I were the Twins I would be asking for more since the Astros squashed it the first time.

Right? Way more.

Bob Nightengale said on Foul Territory that the Twins are trying to get Zach Neto...

Oh wow,  I don't know what I feel about that.   You would think 1 of Culpepper or Houston.

Correct. Dynamic price increase for leaking the report the first time. 

[MMBoys93]

Detmers gone 

 

or NOT

 

LOL

[strumdatjag]

Orioles Catcher Adley Rutschman to the Red Sox for their #2 prospect, right-handed pitcher Anthony Eyanson.    MLB ranked #49 prospect. 

[Vanimal46]

5 players for Rutschman.

He is +13 last year and +11 in 2024 in DRS by fielding bible.  Baseball Savant has a different story in -8 OAA this year, -8 OAA last year, and -5 in OAA in 2024.  

The two metrics are calculated differently and honestly, I don't know which is better.  Pretty sure I have heard Gleeman say he prefers fielding bible over baseball savant, but I could be misremembering

Please no on Culpepper or Houston for Neto.   Tait  I may be ok,  but I would rather see no deal.

Interesting.   Who are the Yankees going to get at Catcher.  Goodman or Jeffers.  

Stephenson

Eyanson is the number 27 overall prospect on fangraphs. 

I think they keep Jeffers, but if you can get the Yankees top pitching prospect, you have to do it.

Caratini. 

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

Appears we are holding on to Jeffers and Larnach is the one we are willing to trade.  I am ok with this, just curious on the return from the Astros.

Lee and Tait? Neto to third? 

Look, they aren't trading for Neto.....

How about the $20M they owe the Astros and Imai?

I would be asking for more because they were just getting a rental reliever. If that's all Larnach can bring back on his own, trade him in the offseason.

Rutschman has had injury problems.   He isn’t even available immediately (about to start a rehab assignment).   He becomes a free agent after 2027.  
One would think that Jeffers would not bring in a bigger haul because of the extra year of control.  But Jeffers has fewer injury issues.  
Twins should expect a big haul in return.

That was quite a package. Eyanson and Witherspoon are two of my favorites....

Culpeper, Tait, and what pitcher ? For Neto.....hmmmm. 

It's clear Angels are punting the next few years, so youth lines up for them.

That said. I'm not sure what I do. 

If Neto is what you hope Culpepper turns into, then it's worth discussing.  Neto's under control through 2029 I believe.

[Permanent Twins Fan]

Pirates Acquire Luke Weaver. He will likely be their closer.

Similar COF have brought back only A or A+ level prospects the last couple of deadlines, unless part of a bigger trade package.

Reid Detmers is getting traded to the Cubs. Good for the Angels to finally sell after all of these years. 

Deal fell through apparently, CHC acquires LHP Braxton Garrett from MIA...

[Vanimal46]

Lots if intra-division trades this year. 

[mnfireman]

MIL answers CHC by acquiring May and Romero from STL...
