Astros aren't likely for Larnach anymore, but they were mentioned by MLB network as wanting a left fielder and a center fielder. They got Varsho for Center so maybe it isn't entire impossible they could still push for Larnach.
Rutschman is going to the Red Sox so Tampa Bay and Boston both have their catchers. The Yankees are the only team left needing a catcher. I think it will likely be Tyler Stephenson of the Reds. It does not seem likely that Jeffers is going to be traded today with Tampa and Boston already finding their catchers.
I am a bit confused by what the Blue Jays are doing. They have acquired 2 starting pitchers in Jameson Tailon and Jose Soriano, but they also traded away a starter in Kevin Gausman. They are only 4.5 out of the wild card so maybe they think they are still in it?
The trade was for the Cubs 17th and 20th prospects. It is obviously not linear team to team, but that would be something like Ryan Gallagher and James Ellwanger. I"m not sure I would be willing to give that up for a rental, but it is not unreasonable.
E-Rod hit one 117.1 on April 26, but Tinney's is still really impressive. He definitely has a ton of power. Hopefully he can cut the strike out rate as well.
Return for the Tigers in the Skubal trade is River Ryan (MLB #68 prospect, Dodgers #7), Zyhir Hope (MLB #22 Prospect, Dodgers #5) and Brady Smith (Dodgers #17 Prospect)
Luis Castillo was traded to the White Sox earlier today for Seranthony Dominguez, Nolan Jones, and Boston Smith. This seems like a great move for the White Sox. Castillo will be a good veteran presence on a young team, and he was in the postseason last year with Seattle so he has playoff experience which a lot of that young White Sox team lacks. I hate to say it, but I really like the trade for Chicago.
I'm not surprised that the Dodgers got Skubal, but I am a bit surprised that the Tigers didn't wait until the deadline to deal him, and see if they could drive up the price a bit. I am sure they are thrilled with the package they got for Skubal though. I predict Ryan and Hope will be problematic for the Twins in the future. This is likely the start of a Tiger sell-off. Maybe we can get Casey Mize.
