It might take Arrieta, Matusz, Avery, and Schoop to get this done, honestly. Mayyybe we get a "2 month" rental discount, but I doubt it because we'd clearly be signing him to an extension.

One thing I've learned is that whatever you think is a fair trade, add like 2 more pieces to it, and then it's probably legit.

What about Matusz, Arrieta, Avery and Bridwell?

We should definitely be willing to part with either Avery or Hoes knowing that they are very similar players, and one can easily replace the other. Throw in one of Matusz, Arrieta, or Britton since Greinke is taking a spot anyways.

I think Hoes, Matusz, Schrader, and a B/C prospect gets it done without us losing much.

ATL easily beats that, IMO.

The Kranitz connection makes this interesting. Matusz and Arrieta pitched weel for him, and he knows them. One of them commbined with two of Avery/Schoop/Bridwell/Hoes/Wright, might get it done. I would hate to part with Britton or Tillman.

One good major league start for Tillman against Seattle who is the worst OPS team in the majors. I would trade him in a second if it meant getting Greinke, especially for the long haul.

Yeah, I imagine Matusz + Arrieta + 2 other decent prospects not named Machado or Bundy could get it done.

Maybe it's just me, but I put Schoop in the category with those two. He's definitely 3rd, but I really don't want to trade him.

I'm cool with this provided there is an extension. Two month rentals for a player of this caliber (and hence the talent that will be traded away) aren't a good idea.

Same here, coming from a Braves fan. Seems like we are willing to go one of Minor, Delgado, Teheran plus one of our top hitting prospects, and a mid level guy or two.

Has Teheran taken a step back this year? If they are putting him in the package, I don't see us beating that.

I love Dan Duquette. He makes being a fan fun. He'll trade more than people on this site want to trade, but he'll just go out and sign other guys. Love it...until PA puts the shackles on him.

I couldn't agree more.

Yea the only way I can imagine this happening is if MIL thinks they can fix Arrieta and Matusz. And in that case, I see both of them being part of the deal, with another good piece involved (Schoop). If that happened, and an extension was involved, I'd be so happy I'd probably die. I give the extension about a 3% chance of actually happening, though.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      I firmly believe Elias is attempting to build a package around Mountcastle and Kjerstad w/ 2 to 3 lesser valued pieces in exchange for a good starter

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      We probably need to consider who we want facing Soto out of the pen. We need a Soto stopper. https://stathead.com/baseball/versus-finder.cgi?player_id1=soto--003jua&utm_medium=sr_xsite&utm_source=br&utm_campaign=2023_01_player_innernav_stathead&__hstc=107817757.2f3f33a24b44870ec4a577029c49e44b.1699920000170.1699920000171.1699920000172.1&__hssc=107817757.1.1699920000173&__hsfp=966217318 Those are his career stats versus all pitchers. He tunes mostly everyone up pretty good. Some lefties stand out though. More as SP though. Just something to think about for what it seems is an inevitable playoff showdown.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By emmett16 · Posted

      So I’ve spent a bunch of time of Suarez’ BBref page and it’s fascinating.  17 seasons of baseball all over the world in an a ton of leagues (APPY, NYPL, MIDW, GULF, FLOR, VEWL, SOUL, TL, NL, PCL, CALL, ARZ, JPEL, JPCL, KBO, IL, AL) The thing I’ve noticed is that he is incredibly consistent.  In all those 17 seasons: 1. His total era in all 17 years is 3.60 (3.81 MLB, 3.71MiLB, 3.45 Foreign) 2. His total H9 is is 9.0 (8.4MLB, 8.9MiLB, 9.1 Foreign) 3. His total HR9 is 0.7 (.9MLB, .8MiLB, .5 Foreign) 4. His total BB9 is 2.7 (3.0MLB, 2.5MiLB, 2.8 Foreign) 5. His total k9 is 7.0 (6.8 MLB, 6.7 MiLB, 7.7 Foreign) He’s done that pitching  quite a few innings (175MLB, 636MiLB, 676 Foreign) For comparison sake this year he is 2.43era, 7.9H9, 0.2HR9, 3.3BB9, & 6.8K9.  His H9 & HR9 are down a good bit resulting in the lower era.  The BB9 is up slightly and the k9 is right at his career average.  I see some regression  in his future as the HR9 returns closer to career avg. but I don’t see him completely falling off a cliff.   Hes not going to over power you but you know what your going to get.  I find it pretty incredible how he’s maintained a very consistent output of performance throughout his 17 years.  Not a lot of peaks and values.  That has a ton of value.  Glad to see him have some success in the later part of his career.  Easy guy to root for.

      Cowser has shown his defense is good in center too.  Robert strikes out more than Cowser and I don’t see wasting resources on him.  I can’t image the orioles would want him.

      Nolan Hoffman has 15 straight scoreless IP in AAA. What do we make of him?

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Definitely a potential up/down righty on righty option behind Tate. Definite 40 man add this off-season if he keeps it up.
