NM. Locklear and 2 pitching prospects.

Calling it now. Ford will be centerpiece going back.

I'd give Phillies a B+ and Twins an A. I just hope Duran doesn't blow out his arm this season.

These guys are legit prospects. I don't agree with Fangraphs on this at all. Which usually I'm one of the biggest fangraphs fans out there......

I don't even think that'd be enough..... Tait should be a starting catcher and Abel is a potential #1 (more likely #2 starter). Crazy good deal for the Twins.

Twins just got Mick Abel (92 prospect overall) and Eduardo Tait (56 prospect overall) for Jhoan Duran....... CRAZY good deal for the Twins. Absolutely crazy good deal for the Twins. If Phillies don't win the WS, Dombrowski should be fired.

I think they can afford him if they keep him in relief. He'd top out around 18 million a year (ish) if he stays a RP. If they move him to the rotation like they talked about, then we're talking 40 million + at the end. I'm sure any team that trades for him would probably want to move him to a starter.

16 Defensive Runs saved this year.... Thats, A LOT. Dude is winning games with that glove. I think defense matters more than some people think. Pitching and Defense wins championships.

Painter would be in our top 3 if he was in our Org. You can compare Painter with Jobe. I don't think there's one person here on this forum that will trade Jobe for Duran......

A good defensive 3B can reaaaaaaally help a pitching staff.... Don't underestimate that. If he takes away 2-3 hits per game, that's a great add. Hayes is the best there is...... There's a reason Austin Hedges has been traded almost every trade deadline for the last decade. Defense matters even if they can't hit a barn......

Holy Crap! Twins are asking Phillies for Andrew Painter for Jhoan Duran...... If Dave Dombrowski pays that, he needs to be fired instantly..... Would you trade Jobe if he was healthy for Jhoan Duran? I sure as poop wouldn't. The twins better be adding a heck of a lot more than just Duran if they are getting Painter back....... These prices could be ASTRONOMICAL this year......

Great deal for both teams. I think the Pirates flip Rogers again. But they also get Stafura who has a real shot at starting at SS. He should shoot up some rankings after this year.

Take Shelby Miller out and https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-trades-that-should-happen-2025 says that Suarez and Merril Kelly would cost two top 100 players and a B level prospect. Oof.

K so I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I proposed I was told by numerous people (and I tend to agree) that we shouldn't trade Rainer. I was just proposing value wise, this is what it'd take and I think a lot of people thought I was nuts. This was posted today on mlb.com: https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-trades-that-should-happen-2025 Guess I was a little light? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔. The article is right though, that it does just make too much sense. I agree with the board. Trading Rainer for a #3 SP and a closer for two years probably isn't worth it..... But I do think that'd be the going rate unfortunately. If we could swap Rainer for Liranzo or Briceno, I'd do that deal. But in three years, McGonigle, Rainer and Clark up the middle.... sheeeeesh. Good core.

I think I'd need more for Oakland. That's pretty steep imo..... (although that's realistically probably what it'd take). I wouldn't do that if I was Harris though.
