Fedde is going to bring back a very nice return. Not only is he having a great season, but he's under control for next season at $7,500,000 So not only is he producing like a front of the rotation pitcher, hes under contract for an absolute ridiculous price you would never be able to get otherwise. That equals a very nice return.

Cease has a 3.27 FIP and is striking out 11.5 per nine. He's also walking batters at a career best 2.8 per nine, also second best WHIP hes had since the 2022 season. He's a pretty good pitcher still.

Soroka was owed 3,000,000 this season and since were halfway done, prorated another team would be on the hook for like less than 1.5 million. He has a 2.96 ERA as a reliever with a 15.2 K/9! I wouldn't be surprised to see some smart team make that move.

Yeah I guess I missed Flexen

I agree, if there is a legit offer they should do it. There is nothing special about him.

As much as I want to see Robert and Crochet traded as the potential returns would be awesome, I don't think either of them get moved. I went with Fedde, Kopech, Brebbia, and a wildcard in Soroka since hes been much better as a reliever. Then for the hitters just DeJong and Pham.

There is not a team in MLB that would have signed Crochet to an extension this past offseason.

To be fair, im pretty sure shes terrible at the job as I have seen a ton of memes of her terrible calls.

Hopefully he gets right after the break.

Robert, Crochet, & Benintendi to Philly for Painter, Miller, Crawford, Caba, and Abel.

Professional teams concede all the time, you just want him to throw just because? There was no play.

Yeah agree on that for sure. I couldn’t see the others but I’ll go out on a limb and say any offer the Astros can make would suck as well.

Listen, if this team was even remotely competitive maybe I’d have a different tune, but this season has been over since 25 games in. Robert making an impossible throw just doesn’t even matter at this point. If he hit a grounder and didn’t run, that’s a different story. This, there was no chance whatsoever to throw that guy out.

That O’s trade would be great

I’m shocked, he said something right finally

Are people really bitching about a guy not making a 0% chance throw in a meaningless game on July 2nd with a team 40 games under .500? Come on people, who gives a f***.

That guy being a bust is going to sting

Yeah, and in 4 months when he turns 25... guess what...

The only thing that I got from this thread was how bad Maldonado has been. Its criminal that he is still on this roster. Also, we could possibly end this season with two players at -2.0 bWAR or worse. Oof.

There's over 7,300 members on this board and I was somewhere between 600-620 if I remember right. So, its been a long time.

Those numbers aren't going to cut it for a 1B only player who sucks defensively.

Im so out on Schriffen. The growl after the Robert HR was the nail in the coffin. Get this goofball out of here. I totally understand that they can't sit there and s%*# all over the team but come on.

How many did they win with Sale?

Enough of this bunting s%*#, if you play for 1 run that’s all you’re gonna get.

Yup, throw was a little off target or else they nail him
