    Pretty much only San Diego has traded top end talent. Arizona learned with Swanson. Now if a team recognizes the hole in a player’s game, they should be traded quickly. The return the White Sox got for their stars is the best example. For one year of their former stars service the Brewers will likely get 4-5 war total out of the each of the tandems they recieved

    Five prospects mostly in the low minors with higher upsides for 2 years of a pitcher that never met his upside for a full season. Way too early to declare winners and losers in this trade.

    Organizational filler is easy to find. Cash, not so easy to find for a little extra
  4. old nurse
    Pretty much most of the players on the bottom of the 40 man would be injury relief trade candidates.
  5. old nurse
    You can’t be serious

    It is not the they should have gotten more, it is more that people here think that the team will get something great in return. The Twins have players that have had years like Ortiz has had, these pages call for those players to be dumped.
  7. old nurse
    Yup. DL Hall has done a wonderful job of replacing Burnes in the rotation. Ortiz just does everything Adames does,

    So it is possible to work on different parts of the roster at the same time when opportunities arise

    They would complain if the team won the World Series that the team won’t be able to do it again because of the cheap Pohlads.

    That could be said for anything written about what a haul you would get for a .player in a trade. The far for roster projections
  11. old nurse
    One bwar difference makes them dissimilar. 2027, any gm, or owner would know it is unlikely to be a full season. That Covid years showed that not everybody adapts to routines being changed. Price could get higher with injuries on contenders.. on the other hand there are still unsigned pitchers that do not cost a team’s future

    Check out hoe the Burnes trade worked out this year for the Brewers before you get too excited about what a team gets back in trade
  13. old nurse
    Maybe the owners are not planning for much of a 27.

    Joe Ryan hasn’t had 3 seasons in a row of 200+ strikeouts and a sub 4 ERA Peralta is the better pitcher. Not even close. Perrault netted two prospects that have slid in ratings. Milwaukee got 2 prospects for Burness the year before. One ended up a middle reliever, one is a starting shortstop who couldn’t hit. The fan expectation of a haul for Ryan just wont be there. Falvey can’t trade for 2 unsuccessful prospects

    Kopech had such an injury filled year last year he is not going to get a multiyear contract. Dominguez may not be as favorably as the pundits think. In trades all he has ever brought back were scratch off tickets I would think his current asking price is way above what teams are offering
  16. old nurse
    The top of the roster has pretty much always been worked on late in winter and spring training. They weren’t going to make the blockbuster trade with Lopez or Ryan because there likely wasn’t a good enough return. I would speculate they would have wanted a Crochet kind of return, What they have to trade other than those two would not be anybody’s first choice. So there isn’t going to be much movement
  17. old nurse
    So the author has a projected lineup that is a possibility at this moment in tie and readers here are treating it as reality.
  18. old nurse
    They have not added Caratini o the 40 man roster yet. So, when he passes his physical, is it one of the backup catchers cut, Kreider or Outman. An infielder that doesn’t play shortstop?
  19. old nurse
    Yet every team does these sorts of things.
  20. old nurse
    As if it takes hours to make these decisions
  21. old nurse
    They have a whole scouting staff for the Caribbean area. They have a whole analytic department over analyzing things. From the staff directory there are 40 people analyzing everything.
  22. old nurse
    So much angst over the bottom of the 40 man roster
  23. old nurse
    If they expanded in 28, by the old rules the expansion teams could not draft minor league players who were signed in ‘25, ‘26, or 27 if they were older 19 when signed, if they were under 19 when signed, the no draft rule applies to those signed in 24.
  24. old nurse
    You are arguing about an infrequent occurrence. On average the second basemen turn a double play 51 times a year last year. Speed of the throw can matter, but how often it matters gives the meaning whether or not it is significant. You haven’t shown that it is a frequent enough occurrence to matter.
  25. old nurse
    Then there is what you ignore, an efficient pivot to throw is more important than the speed of the throw. The number of times a game it happens the second baseman has to make that throw. The number of times a game a batter with above average footspeed comes up to bat with a runner on and less than 2 outs and hits a ball to the SS or 3b.
