2021 MLB Trade Deadline Deals

[LA2]

Surprised to see the Yankees impatiently trading away so many prospects for yet more power. I guess their hope is that Rizzo and Gallo will park  a huge number of home runs in those close RF stands without sacrificing defense.

Seems like the deal for Scherzer is taking too long.

My guess is they're banging out the details of how much $$ the Nats are sending with Scherzer to SD. If memory serves, he's still owed a hundred million bucks deferred starting next year.

They haven't traded any prospect so far who'd be in our top 20.

He’s already said he was willing to go to a west coast contender.

He still gets to choose which one.

If the Cubs really do get Alcantara and Vizciano for expiring Rizzo contract, that's a heck of a deal for them.

Alcantara has a ton of potential.  Vizciano hasn't came close to make use of his talent.

Kyle Schwarber to the Red Sox for Boston’s #19 prospect Aldo Ramirez. The Nationals are unloading everybody but Soto and Teddy Roosevelt tonight, and Teddy’s available for anybody’s top 30 minor leaguer.

I think the National did pretty well considering all but Turner is a rental, although the Dodgers jump back to the top with Sherzer personally. 
 

Sent Hudson to Padres for Mason Thompson,  Jordy Barley

Sent Turner and Sherzer to LA for Keibert Ruiz, Josiah Gray, Donovan Casey, Gerardo Carrillo

Not according to this:

Dodgers Expected To Acquire Max Scherzer And Trea Turner From Nationals For Four Prospects - MLB Trade Rumors

Says one more year of arbitration for Turner.

 

Edit -- Oops.  I misread phatty's post.  Please disregard.

One interesting thing with the Sherzer trade: he has 7 years of deferred pay at $15mm/year starting next year.  Who is on the hook for that? I assume the Dodgers since he is finishing the contract with them?

He's already earned the vast majority of that pay.  I assume the Nats will pay all of it except a pro rated part of the last year.

Not according to the above article:

While Scherzer is an impending free agent, he’ll still be owed $15MM every year from 2022-28 in deferrals. The Dodgers are reportedly assuming the entirety of Scherzer’s remaining salary for 2021 (which won’t actually be paid out for seven years). Presumably, the Nationals will remain on the hook for all the deferred payments for time he’s already spent in Washington.
