Weird. Stafura was MLB's #9 prospect in the Reds' system, and FanGraphs didn't have him in Cincy's top 45.

Houser replaces a team's bullpen game right now. If he impresses his receiving team in the next two months, maybe he makes a playoff roster.

Not every prospect needs to be top 100. Just having depth and guys other organizations feel they could use is valuable.

It's not like anybody's pushing him off of 3B.

Zeihl isn't a "mediocre" return. And talking about jollies, you remind us every other day that a guy retired from baseball this year. You always forget to mention that another trade from that same period netted us our 13th best prospect in Bergolla. Every single trade isn't going to net a hall-of-famer. The point is to amass a quantity of prospects, and then a couple of them will succeed.

Yeah, this is actually looking like a pretty good trade. More of this, please.

Okay, restaurant account with 16 followers, but it's something to talk about...

Yeah, worded like that, I'm firmly in the "posture as you like, but take the best offer on the table at 4:30 tomorrow" column.

Ziehl doesn't become rule 5 eligible until December 2027, if that was a concern for anyone.

Like Mike Tauchman?

Most people? LOL.

Despite all of the complaining.

Sure. I don't disagree.

Carlson walked with the best of 'em.

He must be doing pretty good if people know they have to make up things to mock him for.

I am completely positive that TLR tells you guys to post obsessively about him through telepathic messages. It's almost like he controls your own hands. LOL.

And the Tauchman item has been suggest a few times before by actual reporters. I'm not seeing anything on Twitter about Tauchman or even Houser. I would imagine if those guys move, it will be around 4:30 on Thursday afternoon.

Gilbert's fine. Booser hasn't worked.

He's thinks Tauch stays. The Sox are serious about keeping Robert and picking up his option.

I have no idea. Sounds plausible.

Everybody's signed. MLB Draft Tracker | MLB.com

That must mean we'll have an extra catcher on the bench from a trade by gametime!!!!

So, the leaks to the NYPost about the Sox demanding Vientos in any package for Robert probably came from the Mets to drum up the price for Vientos, regardless of the Sox' interest.
