Then they remember Mike Elias is in charge.  He isn’t not gonna overpay as an over reaction, some Gm’s might panic and give in but he won’t.  

And this isn't a Padres situation with an owner desperate to win a World Series now. I don't want Elias to trade away multiple top prospects getting infatuated with one player. Skubal is very good, but the difference between Skubal and Fedde for the the remainder of this season is (most likeley) nominal in terms of production.

The acquisition cost between the two is not and I'd rather not trade Holliday, Kjerstad and two other prospects for a pitcher who has never gone over 149 innings in a full season.

Reporting that AJ Puk going to Arizona

 

 

Damn , I wanted this guy

If that’s all Puk got in return with 2.5 years of service time left, there’s no reason the O’s can’t grab 2 backend relievers.

Huh only one back in the Wildcard.

For some reason I thought they were further back.

Not an overwhelming return either. Not excited that the Os didn’t beat this. Hope they end up with Nardi is some reliever that is high leverage and multiple years of control (at least one).

De Los santos has blown up this year.  He was in the futures game Ops over 1000 and 28 homers.

Sometimes being aggressive gets you the better deal.  The Marlins probably want to move more guys and wanted to get a deal out of the way early.

At least the chips are starting to fall.  This seems to be the slowest moving deadline I can remember.  Tanner Scott come on home!

The prospect rankings don’t look great but as I said De Los Santos blew up this year so he would be much higher next season in the rankings.

They want to win and make WC , good move on their part .  Guess Elias felt otherwise

He has definitely been better but Fangraphs said this in their May Dbacks prospect update:

De Los Santos has had plus-plus big league raw power since he was 19, but the rest of his game has been sushi raw. For basically his entire time as a prospect, including right now, De Los Santos’ future has hinged on whether or not he’ll get to enough power to support a lower-OBP first base profile. His selectivity at the plate and infield defense have ranged from “immature” to “god awful,” and the former was a big part of why he had a below-average all-around offensive season at Amarillo last year despite hitting 20 bombs.

Keith Law mentioned in a chat last month he doesn’t consider him a good prospect, being heavily aided by the run environment there. Not that it’s the end all be all, as he obviously has huge raw power, but even at best he’s likely a Mark Trumbo type profile with arguably even worse defense. He clearly has upside but still not sure that’s a huge haul for a solid back end reliever that you could have for 3 postseasons. I would happily make that trade.

I don’t think anyone will touch him after today. 

Honestly, part of me gets it. But I don’t think it helps his marketability.
