Summary
We will review some of the big trades and discuss the players involved.
1.The Astros acquired Justin Verlander from the Mets for two outfield prospects, Drew Gilbert and Ryan Clifford
a.The Astros and Verlander reunite. They are surging. Is this enough to overcome/hold off the Rangers
2.The Rangers acquired Max Scherzer from the Mets for LuisAngel Acuna and pay a pick part of his salary.
a.The Rangers acquire Jordan Montgomery and Chris Stratton from the Cardinals for Thomas Sagesse, Tekoah Roby, and John King
b.The Rangers remake 40% of their starting rotation and give up some prospect capital in doing it. Does this help/hurt Scherzer and Montgomery’s fantasy output?
3.The Marlins acquired Josh Bell from the Guardians for Khalil Watson and Jean Segura, whom they released
a.They also acquired Jake Burger from the White Sox for Jake Eder
b.They then acquired Ryan Weathers from the Padres for Garrett Cooper
c.WOW…you got to give the Marlins credit for trying. Do you know what they are doing? Will it work?
d.In Cleveland, is Kyle Manzardo a player that people should be targeting? Isn’t the path open for him?
4.The Orioles acquired Jack Flaherty from the Cardinals for Cesar Prieto and Drew Rom
a.A lot of people were disappointed that the Orioles didn’t do more, what is your take?
b.Does Flaherty help them? Will he better than his 4.43 ERA has been this year with the Cardinals?
5.So the Mets… They trade many of their older players and according to Max Scherzer will likely not compete next season. There’s also rumors that they will shop Pete Alonso and Nimmo over the winter.
a.It feels like what the San Diego Padres did circa 2014-15 when AJ Preller was just hired. He brought in many big-name players to win (James Shields, Matt Kemp, Ryan Haniger, Wil Myers (the big deal that sent Trea Turner to Washington), etc., to dismantle it and start over again with Tatis Jr. as the base.
b.Your thoughts on what they are doing?
c.We will talk about what that team might look like the rest of the year and next.
6.The Angels brought in a bunch of players as well. Lucas Giolito, CJ Cron, Randal Grichuk.
a.Does this push them over the threshold?
b.Is this enough to convince Ohtani to stay?
c.Pickups in Colorado?
7.Any other trades of note for you?
8.What one hitter will you be targeting this weekend?
9.What one pitcher will you be targeting this weekend?
