Trade Deadline Ideas Thread

Kind of a fun site. Their prospect evaluations are all messed up but still fun to play with and not a $25 grift.

I made a mistake on that grift last year.

Potential trades...

Brewers trade Pena/Drohan/Payne would you rather get Skubal as a rental or Miller for three plus years??

I'm not crazy about giving up Pena for a rental, but Skubal isn't an ordinary rental IMO. Miller is clearly the best relief pitcher in the game right now and you could always flip him to recoup prospect capital in 2-3 years.

Luis Pena, Braylon Payne, Bishop Letson, and Sal Frelick for Mason Mil!er

Shane Drohan,  Jett Williams, Alex Frias, Blake Burke for Tarik Skubal

There's a lot of cool stuff on that site. Thanks for sharing.

It also thinks Detroit needs to add something to Skubal for Jett Williams so I say it's brilliant.

It's an interesting trade deadline this year. 

 

3 teams were supposed to be good but fell flat and are essentially in fire sale mode. Mets giants Tigers. Lots of interesting players there. Most on expensive contracts, but not all. Many will get gobbled up by the Dodgers and Yankees for small prospect costs. 

 

Then the bottom feeder teams. I count 5. Royals As angels Reds Rockies. Not many great players there but more sellers is better. 

 

Finally there are quite a few retool teams who are on the bubble and will likely try to trade for this year and the next few years. MLB talent going both ways. Probably about half the league falls into this category. Nats Mariners Marlins Padres Astros are a few standouts with lots of interesting players and looking to be active. 

 

Here's hoping for a lot of activity.

Baseball could use more big-leaguer for big-leaguer trades like the Early for Mead trade. That's why I like the idea of using the 20th-26th guys on the roster as trade possibilities. Try to balance out the roster/lineup a little bit better for the playoffs, AND to prepare for a much different roster in '27-'28.
