It's just Garfien making a (probably accurate) joke.
May 21, 20178 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 20, 2017 -> 07:38 PM) Evidently Rick is asking for Robles in return. https://www.fanragsports.com/mlb/nationals/...-nationals/amp/ Timing would be good for a Robles acquisition. He's the same age thereabouts as Luis Robert, and the two could join the system at the same time and same level, and form 2/3 of a future potential superstar outfield.
May 21, 20178 yr Soto's the one they are willing to trade because he likely ends up a LFer. Less projected value.

May 21, 20178 yr QUOTE (steveno89 @ May 21, 2017 -> 02:36 PM) Pretty sure we all would do Robertson for Soto straight up Eh... he has a little more value than that. Especially since we're probably eating some of his contract. Maybe add someone like Severino to that as a sweetener.
May 21, 20178 yr No I would definitely do a Soto for Robertson deal straight up. The Nats wouldn't tho, and its not a talent thing, its a money thing. Soto for Robertson w/ no money moving would be a great deal.
May 21, 20178 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ May 21, 2017 -> 05:14 PM) I heard Scherzer got pulled today. Strasburg pitched today. Scherzer pitched yesterday and only went 5 because of a 2 hour rain delay
May 21, 20178 yr QUOTE (Jerksticks @ May 21, 2017 -> 06:51 PM) Soto, Severino & Robles for Robertson & Jones? Sounds good to me but I think the Nat's say no due to Jones being on the DL. Could they bite on Robertson & Kahnle? Prefer to keep Kahnle but if it meant getting Soto & Robles in the same package then I'm good with that.
May 22, 20178 yr tbh i dont think they will be trading Robles for a reliever. He looks like a complete stud.
May 22, 20178 yr QUOTE (ron883 @ May 21, 2017 -> 07:02 PM) tbh i dont think they will be trading Robles for a reliever. He looks like a complete stud. Rizzo and the Nat's are becoming more and more desperate so Hahn can shoot for Soto/Robles with hopes of at least walking away with Soto/Kieboom. I'd be surprised if the Nat's parted with Robles but ya never know.
May 22, 20178 yr Nightengale reporting that the Nats Robertson deal that fizzled out at management level this past winter was Nick Ward and Jesus Luzardo with the Sox picking up half the tab on Robertson. I think they can don better than that now .

May 22, 20178 yr I don't know I kinda like Ward but obviously can't speak to Lazardo. He's hitting with an .800 OPS in AA now. Good power. Way better than the Robertson for Severino swap.
May 22, 20178 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 21, 2017 -> 07:43 PM) If the Nats owner blocked that, he messed up. Wouldn't be surprised if it was Jerry. "Rick, if I am eating $13M, get me some real prospects."

Way better than the Robertson for Severino swap. Ward would be a fine piece, but not the main one. Lazardo hasn't pitched this year due to TJS.

May 22, 20178 yr FWIW I do think we can get more now. But I still think we are a notch below where people are riding in trade proposals.

May 22, 20178 yr QUOTE (SouthSide2004 @ May 21, 2017 -> 07:57 PM) You think one of Soto or Kieboom is unreasonable? I think Kieboom may be that piece that matches up. But in three trades now we know we're discusse with Nats he never came up so who knows how we feel about him or Nats. But the Robles, Soto + for Drob/Jones/kieboom is crazy. But also when you get to that 45-50 range of prospects I'm going to guess there are wider variations among team scouts than we give credit for.
