2025 MLB Trading Deadline

[Tenacious D]

Tigers Twitter is going to implode with most of the available relievers falling off the table.

I hope so. Just having guys that are not on the DL and are serviceable would be nice.

I expected you to be all over that sleazy double entendre

[Motor City Sonics]

WOW.   Scott Harris with the ALL-IN move.   Amazing.      (I'm just practicing).

 

Come on, man, did they consult Steve Yzerman at the deadline here?     I mean, crickets, man, crickets

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

We just acquired Rafael Montero from the Braves for Jim Jarvis

Bold move.

I had been wondering about how they would replace Carlos Hernandez.

Now I don’t have to.

All the playful d*ck pic ads on MLB.tv broadcasts have made it harder to squeeze a response out of me.

OK then; is this guy any better than any rando arm currently at Toledo?

Not from the look of it. Long time middle reliever with a career WHIP of almost 1.5. We're not going to want to see him work at leverage.

Montero‘s last decent season was three years ago with the Astros and after that season he signed a three-year contract for $11.5 million a year. He’s a rental. Do they see something in him they can “fix?“

[RatkoVarda]

So Montero replaces Enns?

Montero's advanced #s much better than ERA; has some velocity; BBs are a problem

Big problem. What the **** do they see in this guy?

[Shinzaki]

Suarez to the M"s

[AlaskanTigersFan]

Calling it now. Ford will be centerpiece going back.

[AlaskanTigersFan]

NM. Locklear and 2 pitching prospects.

Trades so far about as expected. Not much return for rentals. More for controllable players. Still think Scottie has something more in store.

[Scottwood]

I would guess that Harris would be interested in trying to acquire Shane Bieber from Cleveland.  It should be low cost and potentially high upside.

I don't think so. He has enough injured starters right now. If they go starter, they need healthy arms.

[IdahoBert]

I guess we have about 12 hours left, but I’m starting to feel like we’re the poor kid in Polar Express who lives on the wrong side of the tracks for whom Christmas just never works out.

I don’t want to mortgage the future for momentary gain. And there’s something to be said for “pulling yourself up by your boot straps“ but I don’t think that kid even had straps on his boots.

Agree.  M’s got Suárez by trading their 9th, 16th, 17th prospects.    We had the players to beat this deal without doing any harm to our very deep system.

 I’m getting the sense Harris loves his prospects so much that he may never be a guy to be active on big deals at the deadline (especially for rentals).
