Yes, it’s mostly because of the Orioles trade for Crochet and probably the Dodgers trade for Robert Jr. The two other trades are Fedde to Cards and Kopech & Pham to Pirates for Jordan Walker and Pirates OF prospect McAdoo. With that lens, I would much rather have Vargas (over Walker) and the two young upside bats from the Dodgers system then DeRo’s trade proposals. Perhaps a lottery ticket short as @Y2Jimmy0 said but do we really care about another Bryan Flete or whatever his name was in the Quintana deal ?

Probably right but in his defense, he did post a tweet 2-3 days ago that Cards were pushing hard for Fedde…Heyman just posted that earlier today. https://x.com/moccbomb/status/1816942706784108663?s=46&t=KRiUv-HaNu4P_C3WWUG0Qg

https://x.com/moccbomb/status/1817946916392427894?s=46&t=KRiUv-HaNu4P_C3WWUG0Qg This guy apparently broke the Fedde to Sox news in the off season…maybe knows Fedde personally?

Imagine an infield of Correa 3B, Lindor SS, Timmy 2B and Alonso 1B...

What if you get a 30-40 HR potential catcher and top prospect in baseball?

This is not the prorated 40 HR / season, "average" OF, Eloy, from 2019...this is the current 40 HR total in his last 3 seasons combined DH, Eloy. The #1 prospect in baseball who also happens to be a catcher (current hole in our lineup) with incredible power and a career .827 OPS 2B coming off a batting title that also plays another position of need while having 2 more years of control...let's not overrate our own guys.

Alvarez starts at C, McNeil at 2B and Grandal (catches 35 games)/Sheets/Burger at DH. The team might actually be better.

Yeah, not buying this AT ALL. If this is the return, it would be for Hendriks + Eloy.

If health (and it's usually been lower body issues impacting his mobility and stamina) is the issue with Moncada, moving to 2B exacerbates the situation.

Was hoping that McClure would reprise the Clu Haywood role and be the biggest Indian killer of them all. Once Cleveland switched to the Guardians, he was expendable.

For Kade McClure.

Yes, Boone, you held it down well for Bobby Jenks too.
