June 17, 20232 yr I think TA is traded this year because if he goes now he is still QO eligible after next season if he were to return to form.

Although the two-time All-Star missed 18 games early this season with a left knee sprain and has struggled to get going since then, he still boasts a 90th-percentile expected batting average, while making hard contact as often as ever. The main issue has been going from a ground ball hitter to the most extreme ground ball hitter in the sport. Even a modest adjustment -- perhaps with the Dodgers’ help -- could make Anderson a difference maker in the NL West race and into October. And with an affordable 2024 club option ($14 million), Anderson would also bolster L.A.’s depth next season, providing insurance in case Lux encounters any setbacks returning to full strength. The White Sox still have a shot in the weak AL Central, but if the team ends up selling, the Dodgers and their No. 2-ranked farm system would make for a nice match. https://www.mlb.com/news/ideal-mlb-trade-deadline-moves-2023 With all due respect, there is no current upside value to Tim Anderson. I want TA traded as badly as anyone here. However you can't sell this small period of time between 2019-22 and forget about 2023! Yes that will definitely help, but all smart teams and the Dodgers are one of them, will look at not only the stats, but also the intangible factors. Here are the 2023 stats: 1. Stat line .251/.289/.295/.584 and -0.7 WAR 2. 65.1% groundball percentage which leads MLB. 3. A complete loss of power and extra base hits! 52 singles, 9 2B, 0 3B, 0 HR 4. Below average defensive stats: (UZR) -1.7 - 16th, (DEF) 0.9 - 16th, (DWAR) 0.3 - 46th 5. Injury Prone - Between 2022 and this season, TA has only played in 129 games of a possible 233 games, which is 55% of the time. Additionally, the Dodgers have people on their staff bringing the FO executives extensive knowledge about TA's various issues before making a big trade? Factors such as: 1. Clubhouse video of his teammates' lack of support for making all-star game. 2. Frequent outbursts on the field where he has been injected from several games. 3. Constant whining about the fans and media not being more supportive of his sub-par playing. 4. His alleged multiple adultery affairs and confirmed DNA childbirths, which are heavily speculated to be a lot of Tim's inability to concentrate and have any desire to play well. Having said all that, maybe the Dodgers feel they can fix him because they do have good veteran leadership, as well as a veteran and successful manager/front office combo. I truly hope we can get a lot for Tim and it has to be now at the 2023 trade deadline. However we all know the problem here...can Rick Hahn negotiate a strong deal and not get fleeced like he typically does.
June 17, 20232 yr Are your sure those stats are correct? A dWAR of 0.3 would actually be above average, as league average is defined in dWAR as 0. Edited June 17, 20232 yr by FourEyesShottenhoffer
June 17, 20232 yr can Stone or Miller be had for Gio? Doubtful, but that would be nice. I bet they like Miller more, but maybe they think they can get make WS run this year with an MLB regular

June 18, 20232 yr Yeah, not getting Miller now for TA and/or Gio. Stone has been brutal in the majors and AAA and Pepiot is hurt. I would go for Rushing.
June 18, 20232 yr If trading Gio to the Astros (I know, but they have a huge need) I'd ask for Ryan Clifford. Otherwise, their system is meh.
June 18, 20232 yr Well if Anderson is hurt again (he's listed as day-to-day) another significant injury could completely scare other teams off. Maybe he tweeked it with that wild throw into the Seattle dugout Friday night. We'll see if he's back in the lineup Sunday or not.

His value is at an all time low. He has regressed in every facet of his game.

The shoulder/day to day announcement was cover for pulling him after the bonehead play on the steal attempt. He was "counciled" in the dugout and was not happy. Magically an inning later and poof...... shoulder issue.

Sounds like the Luis Robert Coverup/Conspiracy earlier in the season...although old school managers would have dinged him again this week for making zero effort on that ball over his head to walk it off. Maybe the runner would leave earlier if he played it out... who knows.

Maybe his stock went down a tad. For personal reasons I would love to see Bobby Miller on the Sox, he’s from McHenry and is the grandson of my best friend when I was growing up in Rogers Park, he passed away about 20 years ago with all kinds of problems as he had it tough in Vietnam with PTSD which led to alcoholism among other things. My high school sweetheart is Miller’s great aunt and we still are in touch as we fax and she keeps me posted on all the latest with Bobby. Edited June 18, 20232 yr by The Mighty Mite

If I was an opposing team needing a shortstop I would not want him. I can't see anybody wanting Moncada either. You’re right, we can probably trade TA but Moncada is a lost cause unless the Sox pay most of his salary.
June 18, 20232 yr I'm at the point where I'm completely over this team and I want the entire 26 man roster turned over.

We are actually finding ways to lose instead of finding ways to win. My eyeball test says we need a top tier catcher before we do anything drastic. How many times I've said to myself why did we throw that pitch in an 0-2, 1-2 count is catcher issue. And it's amazing how often that costs us games and momo.
