Gotta a really good player too. Cross them of the sellers list.

They are probably still sellers.  They are not making playoffs this season to get to 85 wins they have to go 34-19 and that is still not gonna make it.

The Rangers getting swept by the Jays is going to make their decision hard.  They can’t play the White Sox every game to get in the race.  It may be a 2 game series against Cardinals that makes their decision, lose them both you sell, split depends what Astros Mariners do and take both stay in it.

Should make it pretty clear that Steele is not available though.

I think they are retooling for a competitive run next year, they aren't going anywhere this season.

All of Taillon/Bellinger/Neris/Leiter/Nico are still probably available but only if it makes them better in 2025. Not that it matters for you guys, but I think the odds Nico is dealt at the deadline or this offseason has risen a good bit today.

I wonder if we are awaiting Texas's decision to open up Yates and Robertson before pulling the trigger on Scott.

They are still only 4.5 back in the division, I wouldn't be shocked if they added, they have a lot of good arms coming back really soon.

Yes should have been more clear, I dont see them moving on from the starters that have been talked about around here

Absolutely, they clearly think next year is year 1 of their next competitive window.

They thought they might sneak in this year, but the plan failed, so now they're loading up for 2025 and beyond.

I don't think Nico will go anywhere and I suspect Taillon stays put in the rotation as well. The others will probably go though.

Speaking of which, what do you want for Leiter? 😉

If they are going for it in 2025 why would they trade anyone who isn't a free agent after this year? Makes most sense to stand pat and reinforce through free agency.

A team that values him at his peripherals and not his ERA.

He's a step down, and Mayo does seem to be very poor.

Agree on Mayo.  On O'Hearn he is likely to get better with reps.  Santander was surprisingly decent there last year too.  I would let Mounty go for the right deal.

    • No, as it appears to be a group think decision, where all have some input.  In the end it really doesn't matter if it's all Elias, Sigbot or Hyde or some combination of the 3, Hyde is the one who defends it to the media/fans, and he's the one who gets paid to take the critism/blame.  Either way, starting Slater is the move that WHOEVER make the decisions appears to love, so that's what I expect to see, even if it doesn't make sense based on this years performances.
    • I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see. 
    • You think Hyde alone makes the decision?
    • Gil has been terrible in his last 2 starts, he has  given up 10 earned runs in 11 innings
    • It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us. 
    • Both are deserving. That’s not the point. How they construct the pen in ‘25 may be different. None of the guys you mentioned have been pen guys, although McDermott probably should be. Young and Rogers are more of a starter repertoire. Armbruster and others, like Tony said in another thread, should be pen arms. You need flexible and effective arms to move up and down, while they gain experience. We need some guys with some swing and miss stuff. Adding Bautista back into the back end moves everyone down a notch, but some of the guys we have now will likely have to move on for the purposes of flexibility. There is always some natural turnover, and for good reason. 
    • And?  If they were buying his career stats, then they were fooled by a bait and switch.  Yeah, career numbers are good, but they don't reflect the reality of this year.  .541 OPS against LHP.  Elias/Hyde has a tendency to bring in guys who might have had good career numbers, but who are not playing at that level in the current year, but then letting them play like they are performing at career levels.  Slaters numbers this year don't reflect that he should be getting starts versus LHP over Cowser, even with the struggles Cowser has had.  That said, I fully expect to see Slater starting as that's the move Hyde will love, and will then speak eloquently at how great Slater is hitting against LHP this year, even though that's clearly a lie.
