Not gonna get him without giving up one of Bundy or Gausman or Machado.

They are down on him. The three players you listed were drafted recently at a comparable level and have given no reason for anyone to be down on them. If AZ is actually looking to move him it will be for less then B-G-M.

Hopefully Schoop + Hardy + a check for Hardy's contract would get it done. Probably a fair trade.

2 of those three are better than Bauer.

And that means they'll be expecting worse?

The MLBTR thread comments are all looking at Texas to trade at least Olt, Profar or Andrus. Those are the types of deals we would have to beat. Arizona doesn't HAVE to trade him, from the sound of it they're just fielding offers. A 30 year-old shortstop plus minor parts that we can afford to lose (yes, that is what Schoop looks like to every other team) isn't going to get the deal done when other teams are willing to offer real, young talent.

      Feeling Nostalgic about the 70's

      My Dad did the same thing.....he's write out the line score and the runs, hits and errors totals and tape them to the back of my bedroom door, where I'd find them when I woke up.

      Praising Hyde Thread 2023

      By Three Run Homer · Posted

      Since I am often critical of Hyde's bullpen decisions, I have to give him credit for being willing to mix and match Cano and Perez in the 9th inning depending on the situation.  It would be so easy for Hyde to cling to the security blanket of "Cano is my ninth inning guy", but last night it made perfect sense to let Cano handle the bottom of the order in the 8th and Perez to handle the lefties at the top of Cleveland's lineup in the 9th.

      Should MLB Extend the Season?

      By forphase1 · Posted

      Don't reduce the number of games.   Add a few more roster spots to help with late season fatigue.

      Feeling Nostalgic about the 70's

      By spiritof66 · Posted

      I have my own, personal, somewhat parallel nostalgia. I started following baseball, and especially the Phillies, in 1957, when I was 5. While I was sleeping, my father left me a note with the final score of night games, sometimes a line score, and brief game highlights. Those notes kept me abreast of the Phillies' progress -- led by remnants from the 1950 pennant-winning Whiz Kids and ROY runner-up Ed Bouchee (convicted of indecent exposure in the '57-58 off-season), they finished at .500. The notes also were a big inducement to my learning to read and to do simple arithmetic. (I dimly recall memorizing the spelling of "Musial.")

      I think they usually did, yes. While I do fondly remember reading the paper and the Sporting News and the Baseball Weekly, if you told the 12-year-old version of myself that in 2023 I'd have access to every single MLB box score from 1901 to today, along with a much more comprehensive version of the Baseball Encyclopedia, on my computer, to be pulled up in an instant whenever I wanted I'd have thought that was some kind of miracle from the Gods.

      2023 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      Makes sense, I hadn’t heard particularly negative things about his defense so I was just confused why he wasn’t being used. It’s good to hear

      John Means - Playoff Starter

      By DrungoHazewood · Posted

      Right. If Means were to have a 3.1 K/9 going forward that would be unfortunate because that would also mean his ERA would be well north of 5.00. In the last 10 years there have been two pitchers with 100+ innings and a K/9 under 4.0. Both in 2013, Jake Westbrook and Scott Diamond.  Westbrook had an ERA of 4.63 in his last Major League season. Diamond a 5.43 and would pitch just one MLB inning after that season.  Means going forward is going to have to approximate his career strikeout rate or he's going to have a hard time. The further from league average the harder.
