Kinda surprised that no big splashes have been made so far.  I thought this was going to be like the first day of NFL free agency where teams would be going nuts.  

I'm assuming this picks up over the weekend.

Everyone has to pretend like they haven't been talking to agents the last 3 months...

Teams doing their best to make it look like no tampering took place

 

Which is why we need to jump on it.  No one would ever believe that we tampered.

    • Just wish Elias had drafted more pitchers
    • I would trade Hays, Mullins, Mountcastle, Mateo, Urias and Cowser. 
    • I have limited issues with Boras. I do think he took advantage of someone in decline with the Davis deal. I also don't like how he'll let's say experiment with someone like Carter Stewart.  He also seems to let his less coveted clients hang in the breeze some years.  I think he's a great agent if you are one of the top players in a given FA class.
    • No indication ever that Elias is dealing long term controlled position player(s) he sees as part of the near future which is likely all of Cowser, Kjerstad, Mayo, Basallo, Westburg, Holliday, Adley, Gunnar, Povich, McDermott, possibly Bradfield.    Full year of Burnes cost Ortiz, Hall & an end of the 1st round pick. A rental at less talent than Burnes should NOT take any of those above player to obtain anyways, starter nor bullpen arms. -- Going after long term starter via trade at the deadline is the wrong move imo and should be addressed in the offseason via Free Agency. -- Granted new ownership is likely to spend more unlike the past couple years.    The likes of Stowers, Norby, Beavers, Urias etc. should be able to bring back a couple decent rentals. -- Last year Flaherty who was a bust for us, cost us our #16/#18 prospects, Norby/Stowers are rated much higher, should net something better.    Very Wild card: What contenders has influx of pitching that could use Santander?(Mariners/Twins maybe) VERY unlikely he'd ever be realistically traded but his value is high at the moment and Kjerstad can take his slot. 
    • Tyler Anderson or Scherzer, Tanner Scott, and Trevor Richard’s would be a nice group of trade deadline moves and nit cost any of the top guys.  
    • No. Just was more focused on what bats to move since we’ve got a surplus and need pitching. 
    • The Padres probably should have kept to this thought of not trading some guys.  That trade for Soto could turn out to be one of the worst trades in history.  Makenzie Gore looking like top of rotation pitcher, CJ Abram’s looking like future multiple all star type player, James Wood could be one of best players in game in couple years, Robert Hassell another very talented prospect. Jarlin Sousa young flamethrower but has struggled in lower minors at 20.   That trade changed their entire franchise along with Nationals as well. The friars did move Soto for a decent package to Yankees but not nearly the upside and talent.
