Just a reminder that selling rentals at a deadline isn’t rebuilding (my friend texted our group chat that it’s a weird move, even though it’s not)

Wow, everybody’s buying I guess

Nimmala as the headliner. Woah.

Yeah, getting either Soriano or Detmers is going to require giving up Bonemer.

At minimum Carlson.

Let's get down to the deadline and see if anyone bites on Detmers. Carlson may be the price instead of Bonemer, which, oof.

The Blue Jays must have had their eye on him and didn't think he would be available in the off season.

Cease and Yesavage are the only SP they would have coming back for 2027

Why? Nimmala is no where near the prospect Bonemer is...?

Nimmala is a better prospect, but there are some similarities there with Carlson maybe having a higher ceiling if they ever unlock his power.

Controllable pitchers have definitely been expensive this deadline.

Interesting. I have seen Nimmala ranked pretty low some places relatively speaking. He's pretty high at fangraphs I guess though. Wasn't even in Laws mid-season top 70 if I didnt miss something.

It's not that Nimmala is better, it's that they'd have to offer better than him to get either guy (or at least Soriano). And the only similar prospect the Sox have that is definitely better is Bonemer.

The rest of the package is pretty meh though right?

Yeah it's basically just Nimmala.

WTF

I still feel like Carlson and a good second piece gets you Detmers. High end positional prospects are clearly valued a ton as we’re seeing here.

Yeah I’ll take spending Jerry’s $ on Castillo over giving up Bonemer for Soriano/Detmer

Nimmala is such a hard player to figure out. He could flame out in AA OR he could be a star. We'll see if the Angels can fix their development program fast enough to help the kid. Clearly, the Jays prioritized keeping Parker ahead of Nimmala, which is exactly how I'd rank them. He's the guy I wanted at 10 last year, but the board wouldn't cooperate.

Also Robbie Ray

Jays got Taillon too. So it's curious how they view the rest of this year.

They’d be better off without him.
