MLB Trade Deadline Discussion

think Dodgers are gonna end up with Verlander.

[PenguinHunter]

The Cubs tell Bellinger he is sticking around then go and add pieces. interesting.

I really like the Rays adding Civale.

and I sure hope the Dodgers don’t add Verlander. Come on Braves - beat them out on that one.

I would also love if the Braves added Toescar now that he is available!

Bo's knee injury could very well be the thing that makes the Jays pivot from Teo to Tim Anderson.

I heard the Braves are shopping Grissom.... haha

No - that would be pretty cool if Jays were able to overcome the Bichette injury by adding Anderson for a playoff push.

Jays apparently don't have an MRI on site, so they had to wait till today to get one. The team will know more at noon, unknown how much they'll disclose then.

I don't like how similar it looked like an ACL tear of football players, but it also could be just he tweaked something and just stopped.

Jays have reached out to cards on Pal DeJong. This is his contract situation:
2023 - $9,166,668
2024 - $12,500,000 (club option) $2,000,000 buyout
2025 - $15,000,000 (club option) $1,000,000 buyout

He's 29yrs old.

Can anyone make sense of what the Cubs are doing.

- Tell Bellinger he is not being moved.
- Add Candelario
- Add Cuas (4.54 ERA) while giving up Velasquez
- Give away Sampson (3.11 ERA) and Rodriguez (4.42 ERA) for a pitcher who hasn't pitched in the majors.

Absolutely brutal timing. Even though they've had one of the healthiest teams so it was bound to happen... This still blows.

Padres are acquiring Rich Hill and Ji-Man Choi from the Pirates.

[hockeyrobot]

So if they're going for it that basically leaves Pham, Teoscar, Anderson and Dejong for the Jays.

They prolly wanted to make money room for Candelario with the Sampson/Rod/Roberson trade.

[2014olympicgold]

Jays are in "advanced talks" to acquire DeJong.
.233avg/.297obp/.710ops

Jays are the front runners to acquire Teoscar.
.238avg/.288obp/.694ops


---UPDATE---
Jays are finalizing a deal for DeJong.

---DOUBLE UPDATE---
Jays officially acquiring DeJong+cash. Cards acquire Matt Svanson. Svanson isn't a top 30 prospect for the Jays and is 24yrs old.

[PenguinHunter]

The Braves had traded for LHP Brad Hand.

The Braves will be the 7th team he has played on since 2020.

[hockeyrobot]

Ok just trade for Goldschmidt and Arenado too. Give me all the Cards.

[2014olympicgold]

They DFA Luplow (OF) to make room for DeJong. They'd have to move Biggio/Espy to make room for a Teo if they want a power OF.
