Man the O's could have sent a package built around DSJ.

I’ll be interested to see who the Rays are getting.    Must be someone pretty decent if Liberatore is heading the other way.   It’s a bit unusual to see Tampa trading prospects, but their system is stacked right now and they’re coming off a 96-win season so they can afford to trade a good prospect so long as the return is something they need.

Be interesting to see if money is going to the Rays.

It’s quite unusual to hear about a trade involving a minor leaguer before you hear who the major leaguers are.    Usually it’s the other way around.

Wow... Liberatore is the guy I wanted when we drafted Grayson Rodriguez.  Tampa Bay is being aggressive. Just saw the post above that outlined the deal. Very interesting.

That’s quite a good return.    The Cards must really like Liberatore.    Bader was a 2 WAR CF last year and O’Neill was BA’s no. 36 prospect going into last season.    They’re 26 and 25, respectively, and under control for 4 and 5 years.    Woodford is essentially major league ready after throwing 151 innings at a 4.15 ERA in the hitter-friendly PCL last year.

It looks like the Rays are taking advantage of Boston being horrible.

I don’t know about horrible, but they certainly haven’t been making any serious moves this offseason after winning 84 games last year.

Digging the draft picks being traded.

Not sure what to make of the trade.
