Would anyone trade Skuball for Joe Adell or is he a bust ? Or Marsh ?

 

I wouldn’t for either, but maybe as part of a package.  Angels are a mess right now—with Trout’s health uncertainty, Rendon’s decline and Ohtani potentially getting traded before his free agency, will be interesting how they proceed.  Without that uncertainty, Skubal would have made a ton of sense for them.

Still think that the best overall pairing for a Skubal trade are the Cards. They really could use Skubal, and they have a lot of what the Tigers do not have in terms of major league or cusp of major league bats.

But I dont think it's happening, not should it

I’ve read the Cardinals are in the mix for Juan Soto—I don’t see any team that is interested in him (or Ohtani for that matter), trading any prospects until this gets resolved.

One thing that probably hurts Skubal's market?

The fact that the Red Sox and Giants now appear postured as sellers at this deadline. Adds guys like Eovaldi and Rodon to the market, one would think

Sure looks like Soto to the cardinals is gonna happen.

Good landing spot for him—a well run franchise that seems to always be in contention with a steady flow of young prospects.

Agree. Maybe the best franchise for a player. Full house most games and positive crowd plus mid country geography makes travel easier.

I'm sure multiple execs have absolutely no motivation for leaking their thoughts and speculations to the press. None whatsoever lol

Sure enough, Cody Stavenhagen this morning on his podcast suggested that some of the execs talking to Rosenthal about Skubal may have been engaging in some gamesmanship to basically put out there that there could potentially be other options should Luis Castillo exit the market.

Cubs get Wesneski, #7 in NYY system.

 

Honestly, if these are some of the returns, you probably have to listen to offers on Soto or Lange if you get any.

A mid market team that doesn't use the crutch of bad contracts or bad luck and complain through their proxy media mouthpieces. It must be nice.

That's an eye-popping haul for Hader

Hader's not the Crew's #1 reliever anymore, but he does have an extra year of control that Taylor Rogers does not. It'll be interesting to see what the Padres see in Hader that the Brewers are missing. Apparently that extra year is more important to the Padres than the Brewers. Off the bat, this looks like a pretty decent swap for both sides.

I'd be very surprised (and delighted) if we got even this good an offer for Soto.

imagine having a GM with the vision and confidence to trade our closer when you are up 3 games in the standings?
