Give the Rays some credit here in my biased opinion. Yesterday they thought they had a deal and Pittsburgh started chasing the 3-way to get something better out of them. Rays added Perez but nothing more, and when Pittsburgh said "not enough" Tampa said best of luck to you then. It could have worked out very badly, but it takes a pair to play that hand.

Horrible return for Bay. I hope there is more to this. Niemann is not going to be anything more than a good setup guy because of injury concerns. I would hope if this trade goes through that the pirates also have a Wilson for Kemp deal on the table ready to go.

Why the heck would the Dodgers trade Kemp for Wilson?:confused:

Bay is the type of guy you trade away in the offseason, so you absolutely know that your not making knee jerk decision. Trading Bay for the Pirates will determine the future for the pirates.

You think? He will be just one year from free agency at that point, so absent working out an extension as part of the deal he would seem to have less value. There will also be more options out there at that point.

The latest is Boston got back in there at the last moment. Unsure what is going on, but the Rays folks seem P.O.ed.

      Holy cow dude. Do you have to mention Quintana in every post you make?

      Trade Suggestion: Steven Matz for Urias or Mateo

      I think we already have #5 type guys.   We should be aiming higher.

      Sorry to derail the thread. I was having a crap day yesterday when I took it out here. I appreciate the words of support.

      I like this idea.  Maybe he's not ALWAYS the closer, but he has the stuff to be a very good high-leverage guy.

      2023 Top 75 Prospects

      Bucce is one of those guys that finally hit a little bit last year, but didn't get a ton of playing time overall and 20Ks in just 74 PA gives me pause when it doesn't come with any real power. He'll have to make Delmarva next year and we'll see how he does. Anderson DeLos Santos is still a bit interesting and I actually wrote up a quick bio for him before I knocked him off the list: Only 19-years old last season at Delmarva, Del Los Santos didn’t put up all that impressive of numbers including a 104-31 K-BB ratio in 421 PAs. But he has a little pop in the bat and although he made a few too many errors, shows some athleticism at 3B. Probably will need to repeat Delmarva next year at 20-years old but has some tools to work from and worth keeping an eye on. Same thing with Heid: Put up good numbers at AA holding batters to a .185/.280/.265/.545 slash line mostly at Aberdeen. Got a late season callup to Bowie but at 25 years old, he's long in the tooth for a prospect. He's a 91-93 MPH guy with so decent carry and his slider flashes average on occasion wit good depth. The stuff just doesn't suggest he's going to have success at the major league level though. I also did Kade Strowd who got bumped at the end. Kade Strowd: Fastball slider pitcher that sat 94-96 but who can flash 97-98 on occasion. The slider has high spin and late break and can give minor league right-handed hitters fits, but he doesn't have much to defend himself against lefties and his command wavers too often. As for Heid, the stats say he's worth watching, but the age and stuff go "eh". Can't rule him out, but I didn't see anything that suggested major league stuff.

      Robertson on a 1yr/10mil deal seems about the most we can afford. If that’s all we have to spend then I hope we trade for Quintana and put Wells at closer.

      Elias has said he would like someone with closers experience. Not really sure why that matters. I also think they only want a one year option at closer. I get that they expressed interest in Hader, if that’s true, but that really means nothing with this team.
