Maybe trade some of them for ACTUAL outfield help under age 27 lol.

Robert will nosedive from here on out and take the $2 million buyout.

White Sox are sure generous. Not giving Rodon a QO yet another example.

Except frozen JR spending going into that expected labor impasse offseason lol.

Great we have about five 3B now...it's also Bonemer's best position, arguably. Jeral Perez ends up there too. Maybe Antonacci...if he's not at second.

"relief prospect Ben Peoples and Triple-A pitcher Duncan Davitt, a source told MLB.com" rest of Houser deal Rays also traded Taj Bradley along with Littell from rotation these last two days... more cost savings lol Feel sorry for Rays' fans as well.

Love the caveat "former top prospect." Hope Robert goes into the tank for the rest of the season and they just give him the buyout...needs Moncada phantom injury. Then can pop up the last week or two of the season.

He's now the centerpiece of the rebuild again lol...Rebuild 2.0. Or is it 4.0 under JR??? Late 80s White Flag/1998-2000 2016-2019 2023-2028

Sunk cost fallacy. See Kimbrel, Craig.

Schiffren will be happy at least... Maybe knocking down all of the 2019-2021 core in the press and all those background noise rumors about work ethic and coachability came back to bite them??? At least Vaughn was able to escape.

Like the Dodgers...Conforto has been a massive disappointment. Getz overvalued him compared to Mullins and Philly decided they could live with Marsh and some minor tweaks.

Ishbia certainly isn't even dumb enough to write a $22 million check for a highly demotivated Robert. He can just DeWanna Bonner (WNBA) his way off the team and join any organization he wants next season on a one year FA contract Hays Austin Hays signed with Cincy. He doesn't need the money like Rodon did in 2021/22.

JR is never going to do that...doesn't matter if they are down to a $50-60 million payroll.

LoL. For the equivalent of AJ Pollock. If if if. He should just deliberately tank like Moncada last year so he can go anywhere he wants as a FA in the off season...

Robert might as well be signed to an extension lol. Let's do another Kimbrel to Pollock to Benintendi while Rodon walks out the door for nothing in return. Comic AL franchise. Feel a bit sorry for Robert he won't ever realize his potential while in his prime with a real big league team...

Well we already have... Ramos Meidroth Colson Jacob Gonzalez Vargas Sosa Baldwin Why not MORE utility infielders that we can convert to the outfield since we don't have any actual OF prospects other than Braden??? Plus Teel and Quero have to fit into a lineup much more frequently to be valuable.

FBI Director lol?

Outmaneuvered by Baltimore...

https://www.mlb.com/news/ryan-o-hearn-padres-orioles-trade Six more from Top 30 lol. Might be the very worst farm system in baseball now. Mike Elias taking another step towards turning things around for 2026. KW is even less of a riverboat gambling...AJ Preller must be addicted to being the center of attention every trade deadline and off season (except this most recent one). Gutted the system trading for high leverage relievers last year. Only three games behind the Dodgers.

LOL. Four Top 30 guys and a fifth in the 80s/90s. Sure sure surex Can't even get ONE top 100.

Crochet....unless you really believe de Vrieze will be a star. Preller obviously didn't. Teel and Braden alone ate worth more than de Vries who hadn't proved he can even handle AA as of yet, let alone dominate advanced A ball. 747 ops at Fort Wayne hardly guarantees anything...feel he might end up closer to Abrams Lite than Tatis or Merrill. Miller with 4 1/2 years of control, too.

Down to Lopez and Buxton...would guess Ryan must be third on the payroll. Paddack yet another salary dump. Relying on Walker Jenkins and Keaschall to save the day, Rouge Lewis to somehow stay healthy...that fanbase must be totally demoralized after winning a postseason series two years ago and subsequent cutting payroll.

just fold the entire Central except for Detroit and combine the other four remaining into an expansion team lol. Well maybe leave KC out of it to still field 28 teams...

Twins basically bankrupt. CLE trying to sell off Kwan/Bieber Clase who knows what happens. Royals taking a step back with Ragans out...and he's already had two TBS and now shoulder issues. Now we have additional evidence why Ishbia stayed away. And some idea of what Benintendi's worth lol...

They can't risk losing Cease and Suarez with only QO's...plus Arraez and Michael King, who has been out two months and returns soon as well. Preller won't let all four walk with only draft picks at best. Let's not forget Sears and Musgrove next year added to the mix...and they're trying to sign King to a more affordable extension after the injury this season has cost him half the year.
