WTH? Kreidler? No...just no. 

Beck adds that outfielder Parker Meadows has been placed on the 10-day IL due to a quad strain. Andy Ibáñez and Ryan Kreidler have been recalled to take the active roster spots of Olson and Meadows.

Clearly they are showcasing Kreidler to Arizona for Suarez.

Why don’t we get all the Twins pitchers.  Ryan, Duran, and Jax for one of Clark/McGonigle, 1 of Briceno/Rodriguez, Jung, Hamm, and another pitching prospect of choice -preferably not Melton, but ok with Montero.

 

3 difference making pitchers under control for 2 plus seasons-would cost a lot, but this would be the type return I’d be good with parting with 2 of our top 6.

[Tenacious D]

Clark, Briceno, Jung, Melton and Hamm for those three?

Trade within the division?  That's absolute madness.  That never happens.

I really would like to substitute someone or 2 for Melton if possible but would probably do that deal.

It happened today!

I've read a half dozen places today that Detroit is still in on Suarez. BTW, x-rays from today are negative. He is in a 1-21 swoon. Historically he's been prone to long slumps. In fact, 2025 is the first time his ops has been. 800+ in 5 years. I'd think Max Anderson would likely be the headliner that Harris is offering. We'll find out soon.

seeing the same.  This says they want him before Arizona leaves town.

I did not see that the Royals lot Kris Bubic to season-ending shoulder issue within the past couple days.   Being a SP is like being a junior officer in the trenches in WW1.

I'm not an expert but I won't be upset if the team doesn't get Suarez.

I saw a bsky thing that appeared to be AI written that AJ Hinch sent Suarez a personal message after the game.  I hate having to sort out garbage news like this.  Anyone see that from a better source?

[Klondike]

Nothing says "we want you" more than plunking him and almost breaking his fingers.

[RatkoVarda]

Suarez wants a trade, he said he'd like to come to Detroit which is rare. but he just wants any trade: no QO, and he can play in playoffs, and maybe a big showing there gets him a nice contract

Apparently Suarez was also hit on the hand at the All Star Game. I don't recall.

I’m no expert - let alone a strategy expert - but I’m not particularly interested in the short term rental of a 34-year-old guy.

Not a lot of good 26 year olds available 

[chasfh]

It doesn't escape my notice that the only people I've seen strongly suggest a Tigers/Suarez trade are Nightingale and Feinsand, national guys who possibly have their own agendas. Outside of people like Shawn Windsor citing them as sources, the only thing I have heard a local guy say about this is Cody saying it's unlikely.

True though this may be, it doesn't mean we have to liquidate top prospects for two months of Suarez.

If Suarez were the missing piece we need, or maybe one of two missing pieces we need, I'd be a lot more open to paying good money to get him.

Blue Jays, Dodgers Among Teams Interested In Steven Kwan - MLB Trade Rumors

If the Guardians are trading away Kwan...its good and bad.  Good because he's a white flag for the division race but bad because we might face him in the Battles of October.

Also. We let Alfredo Simon walk 10 years ago, so no way we have enough to go get him.

[SoCalTiger]

Suárez price seems to high. If it happens for us it would probably be a last minute decision when one side blinks. I don’t think it will happen though. 

[RatkoVarda]

Giants just signed Diego Cartaya to a minor league deal. This guy was a the #14 overall prospect in 2023. The Dodgers, a really well run franchise full of smart people, resisted all requests to include him in trades for years. Then he collapsed and now is available for nothing as a minor league free agent. The opportunity cost of not trading Cartaya is hard to measure, but real and probably significant.
