23 Offseason - Other Team Needs and Actions

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
it gets weirder than that:

OIC2021 17 mins ago

Andres Gimenez is the center piece of a major deal being worked on by the Guardians.
Power hitting C Cal Raleigh is the target for the Guardians.
Other names being discuss include Zach Plesac and or Aaron Civale being flipped . On the M’s side, George Kirby and Jesse Winker coming to the Guards.
I'm no insider but,,,,,
I'm pretty confident that's just some guy throwing names around. Makes no sense.
 
Why would we trade Gimenez? Who plays MIF this and next year? Two unproven rookies?

Kirby would be the prize here. Raleigh is ok, but overrated, he'd be the return for Plesac plus gap between Gimenez vs Kirby.

Even if you trust your internal MIF options, nah

Yeah - this one would be a head scratcher, unless it was a part of a series of moves... even then... but to answer your quesion.

2B - Freeman/Miller
SS - Rosario
With Arias hovering around non-stop

agree with this.. or it's russian misinformation (joke)

You couldn't make that deal fast enough, btw.. so.. if it seems too good to be true.. it's because it is..
 
There is no way that's true... Cleveland is trying to win now and will not trade Gimenez...
Though highly unlikely, it seems very remotely possible that Andres could be traded. Maybe he told them to F OFF when approached about an extension. Maybe they feel he is a regression candidate, his profile could suggest it... Maybe they receive an offer they CANT refuse.

Again, I see it as highly unlikely and am certainly not advocating for it.. Had to make sure to put that in there before I start seeing posts (likely without quotes) claiming "some of you want to trade Gimenez.."

Most of this is for the sake of discussion and nothing else. We're bored and sooner or later we'll get something done..

Also I really hope Bimbo is pulling a MASSIVE troll on us right now... Please?
 
Whatever happens they better not trade for f'n Winker unless it's a one for one deal with Straw going to Seattle. Even then, it doesn't excite me.

Winker sucks.... Imagine how long we might have had to wait for Kwan if he was stinking up the joint like he did for Seattle??? Oh and if I recall correctly, a big scuttlebutt in the 2021 Reds/Guards Winker rumors was taking on Eugenio Suarez with his massive 3/35 million dollar contract.. He might of looked good at 1st/DH for us actually.. Oh well. Glad we didn't make this deal for sure.

Big pass on Winker for me.

Yep! We dodged that bullet for sure.

Gimenez came over and reworked his swing back to his old swing that the Mets just changed it from. He has no problems with this FO from that statement alone. Guys who do, would have said no and/or half assed the change. He didn't do either of those and worked his butt off the correct issues. He may not take an extension, but I would bet a lot, he has no qualms where he is and if anything he is ready to prove 22 wasn't a fluke and ready to face New York again in the playoffs...
 
the signing of Nimmo by the Mets makes the clubs "courting" Nimmo viable trade partners for the "Get Straw the F*^k Outta Here" club (and everyone knows who you are !!)... like Toronto.. who have a pretty good catcher they can trade..

We'll see...
 
Prospects.... Once a pretty big name out there...


I wonder if he was a guy who was pushed to fast up the ladder? I feel like he just never got his bat around. Maybe a restart at A ball and work his way back up is in order?
