I think if Realmuto doesn’t re-sign with Philly, a Robert+Quero trade makes sense. Maybe Crawford and two of Wood/Chase/Obermueler

I like Alex Pham, McGarry, and Jose Rodriguez in that order. Pham has multiple pitches, throws strikes and has a deceptive arm angle. I think Rodriguez's fastball and change combo make him an awesome option for the bullpen. Struggles with control (which is probably average bb rate).

There has been chatter that they are shopping Tatis. If that's the case, then they may try to replace his production with Robert. It's net neutral move in 2026 $ wise but saves them money in the long run. I want to see Boston miss out on Bregman, Schwarber, Marte and Alonso. Then I think they pivot to Tatis and that could be a monster trade with other ripples.

I was thinking of players that are either blocked and or lost their polish, so their team may be looking to move them. Share some that you can think of. Brewers: Tyler Black - LH. Player 3B, 2B, 1B so can compliment our RHs. Orioles: Mayo, Mountcastle (one is going to lose out in their position). Kjerstad (seems to have fallen from the list. Big bat but doesn't provide much defensive value). Bradfield Jr (could be kept for depth, but with all their other OFs, doesn't have a spot. Diamondbacks: Lawlar- Not sure his time is up there yet, but if they are looking to win, then they may want someone more dependable. If Marte is traded, maybe it's less likely Lawlar moves. Red Sox: J Garcia - Their OF is stacked and he doesn't have a spot. Yankees: Spencer Jones, Dominguez. A lot depends on what direction the Yankees take in free agency. If they bring back Bellinger, I'd think at least one of these two are dealt. Mets: This team has a lot of prospect depth but are in win mode now. Baty, Jett Williams, Clifford, Ewing, Benge. Obviously not all of these players would be on the table. I'd be open to trading Taylor if it brought back a big bat. Cubs: Alcantara seems to be the odd man out in the OF and is out of options. Dodgers: De Paula, Hope, Quintero, Sirota, Tibbs. This team has tons of OF prospect depth and any one of them would be enticing. Again, I'd be willing to put Taylor on the table. Freeland switch hits, can walk and play SS/3B. I wonder if he is expendable. Reds: They have some pretty good SP depth. If Sox want someone to eat some innings, maybe Singer could be had. Chase Petty or Rhett Lowder could be odd men out. Reds would be interested in Robert and/or Quero.

I think he's better than how he performed. I think he did good but he's more valuable than "good".

I agree, but it all depends on what you get for Teel. The Crochet trade turned this organization around. Imagine if you hit again by trading Teel.

It would be better to sell high on Teel than low on Quero, but you have to have faith Quero can stick in the long run. I would rather trade one of them and use Lee as a backup to give them 100 some games behind the plate. Neither player is going to get better back there starting 50 or 80 games a year.

I am surprised the Diamondbacks, Dodgers, Cubs and Red Sox have all been fairly quiet

It blows my mind what the Mets paid for Rogers vs what they paid for Mullins

Extend Houser. 2/$14m. better than some 40 grade prospect. I think he nets something like the Sox got in the Giolito/Lopez or Lynn/Kelly trades. So one of Nastrini, Leasure, Bush. I didn’t include Quero because I doubt someone overpays like the Angels did. Hard pass.

Two guys I would target in the offseason for CF are Bradford Jr and Beavers from Baltimore.

I think any case Getz trades Taylor he is going over market value. To me his floor is ~Mason Miller. If he can start, his ceiling could be Crochet.

How about Taylor and Robert to Mets for Baty, Benge, Tong.

Dodgers have tons of OF depth in majors and minors. Do they use it for Taylor? Dunno

When it comes to the playoffs, it’s a battle of the bullpens. Someone will buy high on Grant Taylor, so I would sell. We need bats. These might be pipe dreams, but one of… Cubs: Alcantara, Caissie Mets: Benge Phillies: Crawford, Miller Yankees: Jones Dodgers: DePaula, Hope, Quintero
