Hypothetical trade for Yates

Looking at last year we had some trades for high profile relievers. 

  • Paul Sewald cost the Diamondbacks INF Josh Rojas (MLB), OF/1B Dominic Canzone (#19) and INF Ryan Bliss (#29).
  • David Robertson cost the Marlins INF Marco Vargas (#18) and C Ronald Hernandez (#21).
  • Jordan Hicks cost the Blue Jays RHP Sem Robberse (#7) and RHP Adam Kloffenstein (NR).
  • Kendall Graveman cost the Astros C Korey Lee (#7).
  • Aroldis Chapman cost the Rangers LHP Cole Ragans (MLB - whoops) and OF Roni Cabrera (NR).
  • Brad Hand cost the Braves RHP Alec Barger (NR) though Hand was not having a good season.

Absolutely not trading Mountcastle for a rental relief pitcher, that's bizarre.

Good thing no one is suggesting that then!

Even if Heim were available, don’t you think a team that really needs a catcher is more likely to offer a better deal. 

Yes probably. Plus I doubt ME cares much about catcher. Was just a bit of wishful thinking.

    • I look at Rogers as pitching depth.    The O's have used 32 pitchers so far this season.   I am sure Rogers will figure into next years team somewhere.    If Povich, McDermott or Young are better than him next spring so be it.   Rogers has options. As far as trading Norby and Stowers for him, I am sure they were both offered to Tampa and Philly as well as all the 29 teams as Elias looked for pitching.   A back end starter in Rogers is the best that was offered. Elias' mission at the deadline was to improve the O's pitching without trading Holliday, Basallo, Mayo or Kjerstad.   He did that.   I am sure he didn't want to trade prospects for veterans but that was the situation he and the team were in. Someone on the O's staff thinks they can make Rogers into an asset.  They would not have traded for him otherwise.
    • So true and Lamar missing open Wrs or Wrs not getting open in the first place.. Harbaugh burning TOs in the 3rd quarter. The D can't come up with a big stop. The coaching you  name it.  It's always one thing or another against these guys 
    • Harbaugh should have a DNA test done because Jack isn't his daddy Andy Reid is. And of course MaHomes got the best of Lamar again. It's hard to get excited about this season knowing one way or another KC will send the Ravens home again in January if the Ravens even get there. It's always something always something 
    • Rodgers' best year was his rookie year and he's been downhill since.
    • The first one I think was legit, though it wasn't by much.  The last 3 were all buls***; there's no way you could have clearly seen his helmet behind the front of LInderbaum's belt on those.  He might have been briefly on the illegal side due to natural head movements (e.g. while breathing) but that's definitely not something you should be calling.
    • He can’t make any type of contact at all or even put a ball in play in the low minors.   I find that completely alarming for a high profile college junior taken in the first round.     But a large percentage of first rounders don’t ever make it…. Even guys picked at 1-1.      
    • I saw several of these tweets from former players/analysts, after maybe the 3rd time they called it Harbaugh was clearly saying to the ref "You've gotta call it both ways" over and over.
