Did anyone read the blurb on MLB.com that said we were prepared to pay Jud Fabian a 3M signing bonus if he got to us at pick 41, but was taken one slot before us by the Red Sox at 40?

 

Sounds like he is going to go back to Florida. Very interesting to hear about this type of news so far after the draft.

I was just coming here to post that. I was listening to Jim Callis on the MLB Pipeline Podcast "Deadline Days." At about the 30 minute mark, he mentioned it. 

‎MLB Pipeline on Apple Podcasts

I follow UF quite a bit, and my son played against Jud in high school. He made some adjustments after a very poor start, but his K rate initially was awful. Lots of tools and all, but honestly, I would have not liked paying him $3 million. He may turn out to be a great pick by Boston, but I think there is more risk with him. And I really like the Norby, Trimble, Rhodes and Willems picks. Those certainly would not have happened if they took Fabian.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By drjohnnyfever1 · Posted

      Lol!  Correct, dude! I'm not against anything.  I just feel like maybe the expectations are a little higher than they need to be.  We don't need a number one SP - I mean, it would be great, but the value/cost at this moment would be bad, imo.  So I think there's the chance he's shopping at Ollie's.  Nothing wrong with that to me.  I'm just wondering if there are targets out there that someone is familiar with that would cost little instead of the guys being talked about - top prospects, Kjerstadt, etc. Other than Buddy Groom, LOL, there are no answers.  Fuji was almost equivalent to what I'm talking about here.  I just don't know who as I don't watch games around the league as I know many others here do.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      Mayo.  His 2024 numbers are incredible, so you’re selling high as far as prospects go.  But his defense is a question mark and as this year shows, he has the least clear path to the majors of the group. Some of that is because of his age relative JH and SB, but it’s clear that JH and SB have clear rolls on this team once they are ready.  Mayo’s path is less clear.

      Skubal trade..Kjerstad, Mountcastle, McDermott and Bradfield?

      I'm coming around to this idea more and these are all good points, but I still wouldn't give up a whole lot for him.  His season so far this year is giving me a bit of Austin Voth 2022 vibes.  83 IP for us with a 3.04 ERA, 3.96 FIP, 8.3 H/9, 1.1 HR/9, 2.7 BB/9, 7.8 K/9...then he went back to being the Austin Voth he always was.  Maybe it's that they both pitched for the Nationals for a bit at the beginning of their careers, but both careers prior to their "breakout" 2022 and 2024 seasons, respectively, along with their numbers in their "breakout" seasons are eerily similar. I'm not dismissing the idea that he has figured something out, I'm just not willing to risk much betting that he has.

      I'm expecting the All-Star game soon. I would have said as quickly as possible after the sale but now I think they will wait until the renovations are complete.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By G54377 · Posted

      I don't like the idea of parting with significant prospects for marginal players. For comparison's sake, we traded for Flaherty last year and gave up basically nothing. Flaherty (even mid season last year) is about as good as some of the guys we are thinking of trading real prospects for. Even if you get an additional year(s) of control, guys like Efflin I'm not trading someone like Norby for. I think we can do better if we are going to jet out the Norbys and Beavers of the world.

      Maybe we can have an all star game and winter classic in the near future too!

      I would consider Fedde the main aisle along with relievers like Scott and Estevez.
