SoCalTiger Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Agree we shouldn’t over value Soto or any reliever. They come and go quickly so we we can’t find or develop new ones then time for new coaches organization wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalTiger Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Would anyone trade Skuball for Joe Adell or is he a bust ? Or Marsh ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtutiger Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited July 31, 2022 by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious D Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 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.

mtutiger Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
