THis makes me think we were definitely getting a catcher from LAD either Rushing or Cartaya. Probably Rushing.

OK, I have been a bit of a Justice Bigbie doubter so far after watching a game in-person earlier this year. That being said he is doing his best to prove me wrong. Another HR today to the opposite field he is hitting a cool 1.029 OPS in 30+ games at Erie this season. I am not sure he will have the same performance going further up the ladder but the results sure look good so far.

Sands getting moved down is interesting as well. EDIT: We're they expecting Haase to get moved?

This list says that Lee was the 9th best prospect traded at the deadline, not bad for 2 months of Lorenzen. https://www.mlb.com/news/ranking-the-prospects-traded-at-2023-deadline?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage

I mean he is 20 in Hi-A, I'd give him another year there before I react too much but currently results aren't great.

Not for infielders, see Suarez and Adames 😅

That would be great but it's a fake account 😞

A lot of talk about how JV is holding up the pitching market as basically E-Rod is seen as the secondary prize to whichever team(s) are unable to get him if he is moved at all.

I just can't believe the amount of hand-wringing that has been done for a player that was not going to be part of our future and at the end of the day I would have rather given those AB's to Maton to find out if he was worth anything than to get what would amount to prospects on the level of Abel Bastidas and Troy Melton.

Yeah, I think I did that in college.

The Braves traded for Nicky Lopez and now the thought is the Vaugh Grissom may be available at least via Twitter. I'd be interested in picking him up if possible.

Quero for Giolito was considered in the 50-60 range.
