As for what the Mariners dealt away, Berroa, 23, possessed comparable stuff to Santos, but he’s struggled mightily to harness it. After debuting on July 21, Berroa walked three of the eight batters he faced in the Majors, which clouded some trust in leverage moments from Mariners manager Scott Servais. He also had a 14.1% walk rate at Double-A Arkansas, slightly better than his 16.8% clip the year prior but still high. Some have pointed to his command being a focus issue rather than stuff, but he’ll nonetheless need to be in the zone more to be a consistent big league contributor. DeLoach, 25, was Seattle’s second-round pick in the shortened 2020 Draft but has yet to make his MLB debut, though that was likely to come this season after he was added to the 40-man roster in November. The former Texas A&M Aggie slashed .286/.387/.481 (.868 OPS) with 23 homers and 88 RBIs over 138 games last season, all at Triple-A Tacoma. But he also carried a 27.8% K rate that left some scouts pondering how he’d handle Major League pitching. As for the Draft pick, it’s the first that the Mariners have traded under president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto and general manager Justin Hollander. The two have been leery of dealing such picks, underscoring the value they see in Santos. https://www.mlb.com/news/gregory-santos-traded-to-mariners-from-white-sox Analysis mostly coming from M’s perspective on upside of Santos.

Still, SSS makes predicting or projecting a 3.5ish fWAR way too premature. Need at least 300-350 at bats to start drawing any type of conclusions yet.

Easy to understand surrendering two lesser prospects and the more comfortable ceiling/floor on Burnes for just one season. Then they reassess at the deadline or next offseason.

Not sure that fanbase is with you on this one…

Insane ending Iowa State at Baylor...

Replaces the Cuban Connection with Royals/Giants-Banister. Not sure that's the greatest trade off.

Or Shewmake...no reason not to let Sosa play every day at Charlotte.

Wetherholt new #1 for BA.

Frobby Sports Guy Rolls Tide might be lobbying Baseball America for the Orioles' system to be ranked 1 and 1A.

Paddy is getting crushed for Yogurt Vera Cespedes and Colas recently but his lifetime record is impossible to argue with. All comes down to budget AND willingness to spend.

At least he put up a 6 fWAR season in his career.

Marie has now reversed her stance on over simplifying/consolidating lol.

Right now everyone in the East is chasing that franchise...even hired Theo Epstein to assist Breslow and close the gap.

https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2024-mlb-farm-system-talent-rankings/ White Sox creep up to #18 1. Orioles 2. Brewers (can see why they still believe they can compete) 3. Rangers 4. Cubs 5. Tigers 6. Padres 7. Rays 8. Mets 9. Yankees 10. Dodgers

Could now be #17-18 with two announced trades today... Assuming Santos clears his physical.

Look at his assist total that year. His arm always much stronger and more accurate in RF. CF slightly above average.

Eaton 10x the prospect coming up in AZ with Pollock and Peralta. Check out his fWAR the season before he was traded.

Due to straining facial muscles saying "Hi Mom!" to the camera.

Yeah and Kolek/Aiken taken before Rodon the same. That said...speaking of first rounders, till struggling to embrace the Burger trade months later.

Tigers and Royals at least trying...

White Sox still trying to set a record for lowest ROI on three Top 5 picks in Madrigal Vaughn and Rodon.

Sometimes you can pile up a ton of outfield assists because of everyone challenging your arm...will have to wait and see with the eye test.

Like Stiever, although Mena more potential clearly.

DeLoach is much more well suited for LF. Not aspiring for that particular outfield will get us very far...after Luis Robert is traded.
