2019 MLB Trade Deadline

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Greg Allen, Plutko, and whoever you think our worst reliever is.

Though Allen happens to be killing the ball as of late. I mean he has played 7 games in July and is batting .500 so his OPS of .1517 is kind of crazy. Honestly though for that trade we would probably move down Goody/Release Cole for Greene and send down Allen for Castellanos. Right now I am not sure about Salazar since he will be doing probably a long rehab, so we have to deal with Plutko as our 5th starter for awhile. Plutko also seems to be able to bring out the best in our hitters, so maybe we should him in the rotation! (3-1 with a 6 ERA is very odd numbers wise).

I personally feel that is not the type of trade we will do, sounds like from what AZ_ has been saying that if we make a move at all, it will be a minor one, not a buying or selling one. So more of Mercado type of trade rather than a veteran. Maybe the FO isn't willing to pay the prices of what people are asking for right now.
 
Again it is nice to talk about the “players in” kind of moves but who leaves

You mention Salazar Greene and Castellanos in .... who leaves .. the players you mentioned are not in the majors at this time

Allen goes back down to Columbus for a month until the rosters expand.

AJ Cole and Plutko could be chosen from depending on where the health of Kluber or Cookie and their ability to fill out the rotation.
 
I'd love to get one of those Padres sluggers.

I would imagine Renfroe would come cheaper since he only has 3-1/2 years of control vs. Reyes's 5-1/2 years. But Renfroe seems like the better defender and is actually rating out as a positive in the field for the first time in his career. Franmil probably shouldn't be seeing too much time in the corners.

Would definitely prefer either of them over Trey Mancini
 
 
More than likely he was, but the dodgers werent willing to move other top prospects with him. Cleveland wanted like Him, and 1-2 more of their top 5 prospects plus 1-2 more of their top 15-20 range. So 4 of their top 15 prospects is what Cleveland wants and the Dodgers said no, so we didnt trade him for less than what we wanted.

Yeah, in retrospect, I probably prefer their package over keeping Kluber of Bauer.

I don’t think either gets Verdugo.
 
At this point, Bauer or Kluber straight up probably doesn't get you Renfroe or Verdugo.

That window is gone.
 
The Dodgers, Yankees, Braves, Rays and Reds had scouts in attendance for Bauer’s start on Thursday night, according to Jason Beck of MLB.com, but it wasn’t immediately clear if they were there to evaluate Bauer -- or Detroit counterpart Matthew Boyd.

For what it is worth, Boyd has been pretty awful recently. Still getting a ton of punch outs, but over his last 8 starts, only 1 quality start and an ERA over 6

That window is gone.

I think the window is closed on Verdugo, but not necessarily Renfroe. That San Diego outfield is awfully crowded

With that said, San Diego is probably less enthused about Trevor Bauer than others considering they're an ultra long shot for the postseason this year

If I'm San Diego, I may value Bauer a bit higher because his HR/9 is likely to go down as he pitches in that park.

But three years of Renfroe for one-year of Bauer at $20M+ seems like an overpay to me.

Bauer will still get you Renfroe or Reyes plus a smaller piece. Starting pitching is still more valuable than a corner outfielder which San Diego has too many off. Renfroe and Cal Quantrill or Reyes and Logan Allen. Quantrill and Allen have pitched some for the Padres this year.

I would still wait until the off season to trade Trevor. Then again, I hate change.

Best of luck with that.

3 years of Renfroe plus 6-7 years of Allen for one year and $20M+ of Bauer?

If that’s the best deal San Diego can find, they’ve done themselves a pretty terrible job.

Bauer for Clint Frazier and Miguel Andujar - would the yankees do this? I would love this deal, am I crazy?

I said Renfroe and Quantrill OR Reyes and Allen. On the Baseball Trade Values website here are the players and their values:

Renfroe 33.5 and Quantrill 5.6 for a total of 39.1
Reyes 28.1 and L. Allen 15.1 for a total of 43.2

Trevor Bauer - 39.2

So both trades could be possible. With that said, I still want to wait until the offseason to trade Bauer. If Kluber and Carrasaco were a little closer to being ready, maybe then.

Agreed.

I don't know how close to return Kluber and Cookie are.

If they're close, I can move Bauer. If they're not, you hold Trevor.
