    You know the trade is a total fucking disaster when Harold can’t even show his face to defend it.

    ‘To inject three offensive players into our organization was a wise move,” Getz said. Vargas viewed as middle of lineup hitter He would’ve been better off not commenting

    For the record, the last young cuban the Dodgers gave up due to positional log jams was Yordan Alvarez. I just wanted to say one positive thing while I cry in the corner.

“Haul”…I like that

I read that as quantity, not necessarily top-quality. We'll see!

I doubt its that good for just Fedde..

Fedde should headline with two top 100's or a bit higher and a bit lower.  With the shine being off of Walker, I wouldn't call him at top 100 anymore.

If we got Freeland plus one of Scott/Walker that would be really good.

How much are the Dodgers giving up for only Edman? Can't be a ton.

Freeland, Scott AND Walker would be great.

I doubt we can get all that but it would be a strong return even if you throw in a reliever

 

If Dodgers are only getting Edman, we can’t be getting much from them.

Would be good to package something to the Dodgers to increase their side of the deal Kopech or some other bullpen arm...Pham

  • Heads22 changed the title to Sources: Fedde to STL, Sox get Miguel Vargas and others (Edman to LAD)

I bet one player is Cesar Preito. That’s one hope of mine.

Bob says Miguel Vargas is included

All of the mediocre infielders. Hooray!

Kopech is going to the Dodgers 

Kopech to Dodgers too.

Then the return should be solid.

Now its interesting

Fits the Getz criteria.  Below average middle infielder.   

Just now, Tnetennba said:

A .735 OPS isn't *terrible* from a 2B, but Getz better have gotten something more high end.

I doubt Vargas is the headliner if both Fedde and Kopech are in the trade. 

I actually don't know much about Vargas. Seems he was the number 3 Dodgers prospect in 2023. Scouting report from then below.

Quote

A Grade/Risk: 60/Medium

Track Record: Lazaro Vargas was one of Cuba's best hitters throughout the 1980s and '90s. His son Miguel inherited his father's gifts and emerged as one of Cuba's top amateur hitters before he left the country in 2015. He signed with the Dodgers two years later for $300,000. Vargas continued to hit at every level and owns a career .313 average. He earned a selection to the Futures Game in July and received his first big league callup on Aug. 3. He doubled in his first career at-bat.

Scouting Report: Vargas is as complete a hitter as any player his age. He has outstanding control of the strike zone, an innate sense for which pitches to attack and an elite feel for the barrel. He squares up all types of pitches with a direct, inside-out swing that stays in the zone for a long time and covers the entire plate, giving pitchers few holes to attack. He naturally drives the ball the opposite way to right-center field and has begun turning on pitches on the inner half. Vargas doesn't have huge raw power, but he's a borderline plus-plus hitter who makes so much quality contact he should reach 20-plus home runs as he gets stronger. Vargas has remade his body to become sleeker and faster and is now a plus runner who posted the second-fastest sprint speed on the Dodgers in 2022. The improved agility has helped his range at third base, but he's still a below-average defender whose actions, footwork, throwing accuracy and focus need improvement. He is raw and inexperienced at first base, second base and left field.

The Future: Vargas earns frequent comparisons to countryman Yuli Gurriel and has similar potential to be a premier hitter who contends for batting titles. The Dodgers will try to find Vargas' best position to get him in the lineup every day in 2023.

Scouting Grades: Hitting: 65. Power: 50. Speed: 60. Fielding: 40. Arm: 55
