They're probably still talking with ATL for AJSS and Kelenic but I don't see it going anywhere

Yep

Im not likely gonna have anything for a while.

It's tight now so I don't have much. Eloy's value is...down.

It's Norby's make up that stands out. That's a crucial part of evals with Getz. It's not just the projections.

Not sure why it would shock you. He's a disciplined, contact hitter with plus power that's an athletic, capable defender at 2B / OF who is highly aggressive on the base paths.

I was told the ask from BAL is still Cowser, Norby +...but as of this morning Elias is balking just like at last year's deadline.

Revisiting this list for predicted landing spots: Freeman: LAD Correa: HOU Story: STL Bryant: PHI Castellanos: BOS Schwarber: TEX Suzuki: SF Rizzo: NYY Soler: MIL

McNeil is a Swisher/Eaton hybrid who is a terrible fit for this squad in the clubhouse and that's a serious concern. That said he's a quality 2B/RF that hits from the left side who's available at a discount for the same reasons stated above.

Nobody knows. It's the wild west out there right now.

They know less than the White Sox.

He's an Eaton/Swisher hybrid. No thanks.

I'd guess MIL, TEX, BOS, maybe SF.

They are. I get the sense he's not.

Couldn't say but it wouldn't surprise me. I'd guess that's about right. 5/90. The guy is coveted by several teams.

Still talking last I heard. A lot of interest in him but I like their chances.

Trades will pick up further after the deadline as teams can talk/finalize during the lockout and announce after. They've got plenty of talks in progress.

Sox fans crying "cheap" annually is so tired. The Sox set the market for SP, C and closer the past three seasons. They converted on 2 of 3. Wheeler chose Philly for other reasons.

Against the same pitcher. Twice.

Conforto's gonna cost more than 4/$65M. Potentially a lot more.

Can we change the name of the thread to "Recency Bias" ?

You framed the deal as Madrigal/Heuer for "2 months of Kimbrel" and that's simply not the returned value for that package regardless of how much you want to trash the trade.

Great. Your scenario is still flawed. They're not gonna give him $2M to let him walk. He's gonna have some value in 2022 - either in a trade or in the pen.

You're right which is why he wasn't. Kimbrel's contact includes a team option for 2022. Madrigal didn't make a lot of allies because he complained about everything the team asked him to do.
