Honestly, I hope the Cubs trade for Mason Miller. It's hard to think of a worse way to spend all your top prospects. (He's phenomenal but ultimately only impacts 1-3 innings per week)

Not even close to realistic. A pitching heavy deal would have to include to Hagen & McDougal to have any shot. And regarding the Cease trade, a few publications had Iriarte as a top 100 prospect. As bad as that trade looks right now, you’re underselling it a bit for what it was at the time.

Tomorrow better be all-time or else this deadline will be a massive bust. So boring.

I love you fathom, but you must have daily nightmares about the Cubs trading for every good player.

None other than the Sox I meant

I can’t tell if you’re just not reading anyone’s response or what. He HAS progressed. The pace isn’t even weird. He was drafted in 2021 as a two way player, who converted to pitching full time in 2022. He then “progressed” all the way to the majors in 2024, and pitched really well, before going down to TJ. So he missed all of 2025 and started pitching again this year until he hurt his hamstring. So, college draftee. Wasted one year hitting, took two years to get to the majors, succeeded, and then lost a year and half to Tommy John. That’s why he’s 27.

Boston just swept the dodgers. Should be a tough series. No Tolle or Bennett, though.

No connections between Chase and Nick. I was just saying.

Like us. At least he's not pitching like a clown and shouldn't cost that much. I'm moving this idea here. For Cease, we received a back end top 100 low-ceiling pitcher, plus 2 A ball players and a middle reliever. H. Smith, 2 A Ball pitchers and a middle reliever for Detmers. That's about what we received for Cease. H. Smith has twice the ceiling of Thorpe and Cease is better than Detmers, but 2 extra months of Detmers and it is July. I'd rather do that for Urena, but I guess that's unrealistic.

Kimbrel got DFAed after the game with Freddy Peralta coming on.

Peak silly season rumor.

And Adams will be put into the acquiring teams' rotation and will outpitch the Robbie Ray/Singer (and his 5.17 FIP) that we acquire. Should have traded for Urena.

It’s not a rental and we gave them someone making too much money as well.

https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/tarik-skubal-trade-lets-look-at-the-dodgers-preposterous-rotation-with-a-new-ace-aboard-052206723.html Eric Lauer's going to make sense for a number of teams out there. Superfluous in LA right now. The Dodgers got Lauer for basically nothing in May after he was designated for assignment after 36 1/3 terrible innings for the Toronto Blue Jays, where he was openly disgruntled about his role. Lauer has now appeared in nine games for the Dodgers, with eight starts. The Dodgers have won all nine of those games. He has been a great find for the team while some of the above pitchers have hit the IL. Odds are decent L.A. trades him away within the next two days.

Rays, Red Sox, White Sox, Cubs, Dodgers, Phillies, and Brewers all made playoffs that year. Other team was Angels.

Getz is a naive negotiator.

So with Getz apparently seeking another starter; with H. Smith pitching short stints apparently to bring into the pen, is the idea to also move some incumbent relievers out? Are they going to do some buying and selling with the staff? Richards? Murphy (but he's the lefty with velocity; he's been really good once fixing his control).

Padres are a game out of 3rd wild card

They definitely need starting pitching

Yea, still think Ray is a legit possibility.

Preller cannot help himself.

My wife asked me who the starter was for our game and I was like "I have absolutely no clue." Drew McDaniel was a new name to me. Looks like he's been system for a few years after being a UDFA. Threw some wild curves.

This dude has skenes going to dodgers

White Sox took two of three from the Dodgers (June 12.13.14) at the Rate and won the three game series against the Rays at Tropicana.
