Let’s get Bobby Miller from LAD please!

[Scooterfletcher]

This is the pitcher I most wanted for Burnes.   Just sent down to aaa.   Could we throw Monassrio and another need and prospect to get him?

 

 

[Scooterfletcher]

Replying to myself, I’d even be willing to trade Adames in a Miller trade if the other parts in the deal made sense….

[TURBO]

Are you suggesting trading Monasterio for Bobby Miller.  Another piece and prospect would have to be some big time guys, as Miller isn't going to come cheap.  That fact that you start out by naming Monasterio kind of makes me laugh.

Miller has been struggling, but the Dodgers know what they have in him.

To get laughed at yes.  Maybe if the Brewers pay for a portion of Ohtani's contract like $100mm worth then sure the Dodgers would think about this.

Nate your hyperbole is comical!  Love hearing your condescending falsehoods once a week buddy!  Cheers!

That wouldn't be anywhere near enough to get Miller in a trade. Meaning Monasterio as the centerpiece. The Dodgers aren't going to let us fleece them in a trade, just because he was sent to AAA.

Could you simply just chill out with the absurdly lopsided trade suggestions? I have a feeling it would greatly decrease the amount of testy replies you get back. It's legit bringing down a subforum that should be very interesting to peruse this time of year

[Scooterfletcher]

Montaserio would be the third best piece.   The other need of LAD (say bullpen and us giving them Peguero) and a prospect (likely an 8-16 type) would be the better pieces.   Nobody said montaserio would be the headliner compadre.   Lol

I cannot imagine what other prospects you'd have to add if the MLB piece is Monasterio(or even a significant piece...I really cant' even see him on the Dodgers 26 man roster, they have much better options). 

Adames for Miller would actually make sense...but I don't see the Dodgers going for that. Miller's season reminds me of Burnes 2nd year. Unlucky HR rate, just missing spots a bit, but...still just too talented to get rid of without both a big impact player now, and probably a top 5 prospect. Wilken? They do have a ton of pitching, but...Miller has a special arm and he's shown he can thrive at the MLB level.

Something like Montasario/Peguero/Boeve I’d at least check on .

Miller was a Top 25 prospect in all of baseball entering 2023.

Monasterio would be a AAA infielder for the Dodgers, Peguero would be their 5th reliever at best, Boeve probably slots in around the teens in a stacked Dodgers system.

If the Dodgers shopped a talented young starting pitcher like Miller I think they’d receive better offers than this.

That offer still wouldn't be anywhere near enough. LA would immediately hangup the phone at that offer. 

[patrickgpe]

I’d trade Frelik for him I think that is a reasonable cost that la would listen to

If it'd get us Miller? I might throw Ortiz in that group...or Turang(I wouldn't as I've long been particularly high on Turang thinking he's Trea Turner-ish)...

 

But sure, it's worth checking on. If nothing else, MAYBE you could get him for just some good offensive prospects into Miller due to their abundance of talented young arms.

Also a huge fan of Maddux Bruns or Knack. They've got SO many. 

Quero would be expensive(especially with Miller struggling this year) but that could be a possible deal.

Wilken or Boeve, Devin Williams, Baez? 

You've go to see Williams back healthy...but, could be interesting.

Basically the entire Dodgers rotation is on the IL - why are they trading a pitcher?

Miller was sent down to AAA. He's not part of that rotation. 

He's still got massive upside.

About 21 of their top 20 prospects are pitchers...

That'd be why. 

[SF70]

No thanks on acquiring any pitching prospect from the LAD.

Look at their injury history the last few years. Just about every starter prospect that touches their rotation needs TJ or flexor tendon surgery or both. It’s rather alarming.

I don't see Turang ever having the power that Trea Turner has.

It's actually 11, but you were close(ish) I guess. Lol

The point is they are in a pretty precarious situation. They're not going to jettison pitchers that might be able to help them out unless it's an offer that blows their mind, in which case we'd be fools to make it.

Not a chance. The Dodgers have no need for a light hitting CFer. With Outman, Pages, Miguel Vargas, Chris Taylor etc. Frelick wouldn’t even have a clear path to playing time. 
 

More importantly given his pedigree and the Dodgers pitching injuries this year, I imagine LA is not motivated to move Miller in the first place regardless of demotion.

Turner-ish. He gets on base, hit atop the order and can both play up the middle...

He probably won't hit 28 HRs or hit for that type of power. He'd have to sacrifice some contact in order to do so.

I thought you were asking me a question...

But I guess I'd say they pretty regularly put guys on the DL for short stints, particularly as their pitchers get up there in innings. Glasnow and Buehler both seem like they should be back shortly. They have 4 of their top prospects either in AAA or on their 40-man. Glasnow in particular. This feels like the obvious Dodgers move. He gets the ASB, they backdated it to July 6th, get him a break. Same may be the same for Buehler, I don't know, or Grove. Yamamoto is a bigger question, but he's working his way back.

They're stacked with young arms who are either already succeeding at the MLB level or at the AAA level(in a hitters league). 

 

I also didn't suggest it, I just suggested what I thought would be a more realistic trade.

[Scooterfletcher]

Truth.  Sometimes when you are demoted from an organization like the dodgers, it’s hard to get back in.  Worth a shot to inquire for certain .

[harrydalton]

After tonight I'd trade Peralta and Adames to the Dodgers for Bobby Miller and whatever prospects we can get and mix with some of ours to get experienced starting pitchers and hitters elsewhere. Criticize at will!! 

[Scooterfletcher]

Well, we’d be selling super low on Peralta.  But Adames for miller intrigues me…
