What’s Atlanta doing?  They are so out of it and have many valuable pieces.  I haven’t heard many of their guys mentioned in deals.

They don't have many if any rentals.

Matt Manning DFA to open a spot on the 40 man.

It’s the end of an error.

Why would the Padres be selling?  They are three games out of first and are currently in position for a wildcard.  

I was responding to the post that said that cease and Suarez were available!  Not the one which announced the trade with the Athletics.

You mean the same thing Reese Olson went on the 60-day list for?

Money. They are up against the tax threshold so they may trade Cease (who is a FA this year) and Suarez due to their current salaries. To be able to bring in other salaries of equal value for positions of need.

There are all sorts of shoulder strains.

Does that open up an opportunity for Suárez for us? 

[Hongbit]

AJ Preller is the Angel Hernandez of GM’s.    I guess he learned nothing from the Soto trade.

Sounds like poor planning.  

[RandyMarsh]

Like Dombrowski the Padres have never been shy about trading premium prospects for proven vets so seeing them give up a top 5 overall prospect certainly isn't surprising.

Yes, I would keep an eye on Suarez for the Padres and Doval from SF. I honestly don't think it would cost too much to get either. 

[RatkoVarda]

SD trades #3 overall prospect De Vries (+ 3 more) to get Miller and Sears. So it would have had to have been Clark or McGonigle going  out if Harris wanted Miller.

Or the free spending owner dying and the kids being cheap, something we know all too much about.

They had some oddly backloaded deals the last two years. So yeah, there is some chicken coming home to roost here, even if CBT is based on AAV. There are some cash flow issues they are working around.

[LongLiveMaroth]

That is a lot of prospect capital.

OK, Then maybe the Tigers can take a salary off their hands in exchange for non-elite prospects.

1, 3, 13, 17 from a top heavy organization

De Vries could be a Bobby Witt Jr Clone..... Crazy. Even for Mason Miller. 

https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league?pos=all&type=8&sortcol=20&sortdir=default&stats=rel&pagenum=1 - According to this, Miller is ranked 29th in baseball for WAR this season..... Heck even Vest is higher than him! Lets move Vest straight up for De Vries.....

Look at Nunez's numbers..... Thats insane. He could litterally be almost as good as Miller this year or next...... FML. Fantastic deal for A's.

Give me Bednar and Keller for Liranzo, Anderson and Hamm.

Dont trade any of Clark/McGonigle/Rainer/Briceno under any circumstances.

I’m not super interested in acquiring another bat among those who are on supposedly on the block.

The impact bats certainly don't seem to be there (outside of Suarez, but that ship has sailed), which is unfortunate. We certainly could use one. That and an elite BP arm is what we needed IMO. I'm not all that thrilled about the third/fourth starters that are available (which is what I consider Alcantara at this point), or these donkey relievers we keep signing/trading for.

That sounds like a solid bet. Fingers crossed.

I say go for Keller since he’s under control for several years, and with Jobe/Olson out for the year and Flaherty being hit or miss—I’d like the ML experience depth there.  Hopefully Melton can build off that last start and Paddack can be consistent, but we need a #3 guy right now.  There’s no more help coming in the system and going into the playoffs with Skub/Mize/Flaherty/Paddack isn’t super ideal.

why could we never this kind of haul when we were sellers? Thanks, Al
