Josh Naylor to Mariners

[bensheeps]

1st trade in the books as Naylor goes from Arizona to Seattle.

Does this help put a price on O'Hearn? (He's the one I've wanted all along)

[KCBrewerfan34]

Sea trades 13th and 16th rated prospects from their system. Doesn’t seem to expensive if that’s the entire deal.

Aaah the annual tradition of Trader Jerry making the first deadline move.

Wichowski and Zavier Warren might have done it for us.

Trading Gasser and Meccage for an average rental 1B doesn't seem expensive to you? 

That's an insane price.

If you think Gasser is 13th you are wrong with choosing your Bible.   More like Wichowski and a hitter in the 20 range, not MeCcage.  Systems aren’t linear and ours is a solid step ahead of the Mariners.

Back in May I had us trading Hoskins to Seattle for Garcia. Right idea, but we just had to go and ruin it by never losing again :)

I can almost guarantee you that Arnold got a call from Dipoto in May around the time that the Brewers were scuffling and Rowdy Tellez had worn out his welcome in Seattle.

The Brewers and Mariners are the #1 and #2 ranked systems. Take your pick in which order. They gave up their #13 and #16. Gasser and and Meccage are the Brewers #13 and #14, the two closest pitchers in that range. Their ages essentially line up. It's as close a comparison as you could make. Wichrowski (#25) and Warren (not ranked and not close to being a prospect) is not.

Garcia is a reliever with MLB experience.  Izzi is a starter in A+.     I would say Yoho and Letson is pretty close.  Letson probably a bit of an overpay though in my opinion.  

[Brewer77]

Garcia is a 25 year old (likely) relief prospect and Izzi isn’t pitching well in A+. Both have some upside, but it looks like a fair deal to me

We witnessed his MLB debut the other day…we didn’t make it fun for him.

More like Wichrowski or Meccage than Letson.  Seattle gave up two FV 40+ prospects by Fangraphs.  So for those saying it would be a huge seller's market, eh.... This is a slight overpay for expected value but they had to overcome the possibility of Arizona getting a draft pick instead which would likely be a higher rated prospect but one they would have to pay for.

Zavier Warren has no trade value. He's a 26 year old in AA with a 111 wRC+ who has no defensive home.

Dom seemed to put some water on the idea of trading for O'Hearn on Brewers Weekly tonight. He seemed to suggest the 1B job is Hoskins and he will get it when he comes back.

Depending on what rankings you use it feels more like Yoho and one of Meccage, Knoth, Wichrowski, Crow or Hardin. Letson seems a tier above Izzi.

That’s why I only really would consider him since he plays corner outfield as well.  Otherwise I really only see trading for a super sub type guy like Castro.  And of course assuming the Suarez bidding gets out of hand.

It's pretty hard to compare the systems. I don't know anything about Seattle's depth. I know their top 10 is loaded. Are they as deep?

Meccage and Gasser is giving up quite a bit. But Naylor has team control for a couple years. Also doesn't have to match exactly.

Naylor is a rental

My mistake, I thought he still had a couple years of team control.

Probably just mixed him up with his brother I'm guessing. Bo still has team control. Josh is a FA after the season.

[long ball]

Naylor is a good hitter, but if our biggest need is to add some power to the line up he wasn't really the best fit. I don't think the price is crazy and I wouldn't have been too upset if we had traded similar prospects for him. 

[adambr2]

Naylor is pretty meh. Kind of surprised to see a rental of him go for much of anything.

That said, organizational prospect lists become pretty subjective once you get down to the mid teens. Fans aren’t always in line with general managers on perceived value there. 

Sometimes you’re talking about prospects who will have to be exposed to Rule 5 anyway and the organization considers them expendable.

I would love to see him here also but I'm sure we would have to some how find a way to rid ourselves of Hoskins salary.

Time is the most likely way to do that. Not like you have to pay it anyway. 😂
