2023 Trade Deadline

[RatkoVarda]

market forces have not always blown in the Tigers direction; good to see things are falling in place this year

[LongLiveMaroth]

Per Jim Bowden via the Athletic

"Eduardo Rodriguez, LHP, Tigers — Rodriguez is 6-5 with a 2.69 ERA in 14 starts and if healthy is expected to opt out of his contract after this season, which is why the Tigers will deal him. They should be able to command a package of three top-30 prospects for the veteran lefty."

Now it is Jim Bowden so take it with a grain of salt 😅

Three top-30 prospects? He means top 30 of a franchise not in the game, right?

Three top-30 prospects? 

Outside of maybe the Orioles, not sure any other teams could meet those narrow parameters lol

Not saying you need a team of Delmons out there. 

Come on, why would you bring this up after Tom Emansky's sidekick's hall of fame induction ceremony?

Hearing Cincy looking to move Jonathan India for young controllable pitching. Not sure he would be a great fit though he is only 26.

Is India the definition of "MLB Averages"?

Yeah he means in a franchise at least that was my assumption. Biggest thing is not all top 30's are the same. Houston's top 30 is not LAD,BAL,TBR's top 30.

So, are the Tigers going to finally get a break?

And I would prefer one Top-3 from an Org, one top-20-25 in an Org... and then the 3rd can be whatever lottery ticket is allowed...

Side note, you hear about his Dad? He is HUGE Mets fan. Said he tapes his sons games and watches Mets live if they are on the same time....

Very few trade rumor predictions come true.  It's the nature of the beast.  His prediction here is pretty general though and seems plausible.

The thing about rumors or leaks is that they're usually out there for a reason.... which speaks to how often they can be inaccurate.

I just heard this recently.  It might have been a Dan Patrick interview of Joey Votto?

That's interesting.  I thought I saw the Rays are on Lynn's no trade clause along with 9 other teams.  Obviously he could waive that.

Poor White Sox.  Lynn will pitch like Cy Young the rest of the way and the Pale Hose will get nothing.  

[Tigermojo]

Buyers are trying to bargain bin shop before the deadline. I don't need your pitchers, I just got a crappy starter and two subpar relievers. Would you take my unranked prospect for your number one starter though? I don't need him but I'll do you a favor.

[LongLiveMaroth]

So using the Trade Value calculator which I know is flawed but I would personally be good with this return for E-Rod. Get a good corner OF prospect and a versatile MIF. Not sure Baltimore goes for it though. 

[RatkoVarda]

I would hope ERod would get more than that - Os sure do have a bonkers amount of IF talent

This is what I was thinking—if we are looking to build a organization containing hitters of the future, and we believe that Carpenter is a Hitter of the Future, then what are we trying to accomplish by trading him? What are we looking for instead of him?

I mean, I get the idea of no one is untouchable and everyone is on the table—what are the chances that we can trade a Kerry Carpenter to help someone today and receive a younger, better, better-defending Kerry Carpenter in return who is simply farther away from the majors? I'm not getting what the there there is for either side in a move like this.

This is the most sensible post regarding Carpenter that I have read

You put the good teams on your no trade.

No reason to put the bad teams, they ain't adding veterans. And if you want an extension you can make that part of the agreement to wave 

[LongLiveMaroth]

Rays already need pitching may need another starter after Eflin only goes 4

 

[RatkoVarda]

Metzler would know who to target; to me, Rays don't match up well with needs, but Harris still in just talent hording mode
