they could still make a move today, but this is a big ol meh from me as a cubs fan - VIV July 31, 2025, 8:49:11
- If these were all the moves I'd be pretty disappointed though I'm high on Soroka - CanHartlebHireSnider July 31, 2025, 10:02:33
- I wouldn’t be meh if this is all they did. I’d be furious* - Carl Spackler July 31, 2025, 8:57:28
  - I’m pretty confident they’ll make a couple more moves, they just won’t be super exciting ones. - OB25 July 31, 2025, 9:18:29
Morosi says BlueJays close to Bieber deal* - DanSaint July 31, 2025, 8:39:21
Bieber to the Blue Jays* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 31, 2025, 8:39:03
- we've exchanged Biebers!* - Sammich July 31, 2025, 8:51:34
  - This Just In* - Sounder July 31, 2025, 10:18:34
It's Nightengale but apparently Cards have teams calling - DanSaint July 31, 2025, 7:20:39
- I love Noot but not sure he’ll ever fully put it together - CWR10 July 31, 2025, 8:34:47
  - Team has a long history of keeping and playing guys who should be 4th OFs.* - SurfTheBoneyard July 31, 2025, 9:42:51
- I wouldn’t trade Winn, I don’t think they could trade Contreras. - illini July 31, 2025, 8:27:44
I wonder how active today will be. Got a lot more moves last night than I anticipated - DanSaint July 31, 2025, 5:24:53
Padres “working on” a trade to get Mason Miller but nothing finalized, per Heyman.* - OB25 July 30, 2025, 23:47:49
- Miller without giving up Leo would be great espeically if they think he's a future starter... - LeatherneckIllini July 31, 2025, 8:23:13
Cubs add another reliever, Andrew Kittredge from BAL* - OB25 July 30, 2025, 23:22:13
- He’s fine. I’ll be annoyed if they gave up anything of value* - GMAW July 30, 2025, 23:28:52
  - Wilfri De La Cruz. Their biggest IFA last year. 17 years old in the DSL* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 31, 2025, 8:27:31
    - I feel like this is rare? Heard of trading for bonus money but for an IFA they just signed? - Carl Spackler July 31, 2025, 8:52:53
      - I don't think it's that rare. Just hope he's more Preciado than Tatis - CanHartlebHireSnider July 31, 2025, 8:57:37
- Good piece I think* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 23:24:04
Suarez to the Mariners per Passan* - Carl Spackler July 30, 2025, 23:00:13
- Seems like 24 year old 1B Tyler Locklear is the biggest name going back. - OB25 July 30, 2025, 23:10:36
  - Full return seems kind of weak. Maybe Arizona just didn't want him in the NL* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 23:41:07
    - It’s definitely less of an overpay than I expected, surprised they didn’t wait until tomorrow* - OB25 July 30, 2025, 23:46:26
- Damn but ok. Focus on big pitching needs* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 23:00:34
  - His history of oscillating between being Mike Schmidt and Kevin Orie scares me - GMAW July 30, 2025, 23:04:41
    - I'm just glad he's not going to Milwaukee or the NL. If not the Cubs Seattle is fine - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 23:07:03
      - Agree completely. This team scores enough runs. I love the Soroka add - GMAW July 30, 2025, 23:09:30
Cards make another trade. Matz to the Red Sox* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 22:47:13

Blaze Jordan back. There was a time this kid was thought of as one of the top HS kids in the country - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 22:59:38
- I like it for Matz. Chaim prioritizing upside* - CWR10 July 31, 2025, 8:36:12

Astros looking at Cease as main target - DanSaint July 30, 2025, 22:24:26
Rosenthal says Pirates likely not moving Keller* - DanSaint July 30, 2025, 21:50:26
People will be pissed but my gut says that Jed is going to just do a few fringe moves like Soroka - OB25 July 30, 2025, 21:47:26
- Here’s the problem: They knew SP was a need in the offseason and didn’t properly address it. - Carl Spackler July 30, 2025, 21:59:47
  - I did wish they had added another guy in the offseason, but it’s a little hard to say that… - OB25 July 30, 2025, 22:09:46
    - They addressed it, just not enough. - Carl Spackler July 30, 2025, 22:15:41
  - This is true. I wanted Pivetta but the QO probably dissuaded them* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 22:06:01
- Im thinking they might take chance on Bieber like Cle did with Boyd last year* - DanSaint July 30, 2025, 21:49:49
Soroka to Cubs * - MC July 30, 2025, 20:51:16
- The more I look at this the more I really like it - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 22:56:25
  - I think Nats misused him as a starter, seems like he would have been better out of the pen* - memyselfandillini July 30, 2025, 23:09:36
- When you have a chance to get a pitcher who is 3-18 over the last season and a half, you do it. * - VIV July 30, 2025, 22:11:21
  - Lulz. In a word, I would say “be excited” - but all seriousness, pitcher wins are meh * - MC July 30, 2025, 23:10:23
- If it was 2019, I’d be freaking out right now. * - VIV July 30, 2025, 22:10:15
- sounds like Cubs also still in the mix for Bieber per Nightengale* - DanSaint July 30, 2025, 21:15:00
- Looks like Christian Franklin and Ronny Cruz to the Nats* - RVA July 30, 2025, 21:08:25
- Christian Franklin and Ronny Cruz to the Nats. I always liked Franklin since Arkansas* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 21:08:01
  - But probably was never going to get a shot as a starter so makes sense to give up? - Carl Spackler July 30, 2025, 21:14:52
    - He’s rule v eligible too. I just personally liked him as a player. Very fun - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 21:19:56
- The Wire season 2?* - opossum jenkins July 30, 2025, 21:02:20

- This is a weird one but maybe an expensive Flexen replacement? - OB25 July 30, 2025, 20:57:30
  - His savant numbers are significantly better than Rea and Flexen - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 20:59:02
    - I’m good with him as the Ben Brown replacement, hope there’s someone better to replace Rea - OB25 July 30, 2025, 21:05:21
      - I do agree about the Flexen role. It seems like he could be used in either starter or relieve mode - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 21:07:30
        
        Yeah and like half this staff, seems unlikely he can keep starting through the end of the year. - Carl Spackler July 30, 2025, 21:28:17
- I hadn’t really been following him. He looks a lot better than I thought he did* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 20:56:24
  - Lot of red - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 20:57:57
  - His per 9's aren't bad at all along with his WHIP. - SurfTheBoneyard July 30, 2025, 20:57:39
uh oh. Ohtani removed mid batter after being visited by trainer - DanSaint July 30, 2025, 19:17:12
Man these prices seem sky high.* - Carl Spackler July 30, 2025, 18:10:40
- The Rogers one is the only one that seems like a large overpay to me* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 18:18:04
  - I guess you can say the Hayes one too but I think his offense will be better - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 18:19:43
    - There’s little I would consider a meaningful overpay in this market unless… - OB25 July 30, 2025, 18:32:00
- I think there are going to be lots of trades that break the traditional trade value models - OB25 July 30, 2025, 18:14:44
Helsley to Mets. Cards actually making trade* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 18:06:22
- looking at their prospects....Jett Williams would be nice - DanSaint July 30, 2025, 18:11:16
  - sounds like Jesus Baez is one. a 20 year old 2B/3B in A ball. he was just removed from their game* - DanSaint July 30, 2025, 18:12:30
    - It’s Baez, Nate Dohm, and Frank Elissalt. Baez is definitely the centerpiece* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 18:15:56
      - I do see a lot of Mets fans a little upset about Elissalt. He isn't ranked - DanSaint July 30, 2025, 18:19:09
    - Baez (#8), Dohm (#14), and Elissalt per Heyman* - DanSaint July 30, 2025, 18:15:37
      - How should we feel about the return * - uofi1998 July 30, 2025, 19:11:35
        
        Really good return* - GMAW July 30, 2025, 21:19:18
        
        I do like Baez but he's still only 20 years old and in Class A. - DanSaint July 30, 2025, 19:18:22
Duran to the Phillies* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 17:26:59
- I know Duran has been more dominant and has some control left - DanSaint July 30, 2025, 17:46:02
- Tait and Abel. Pretty good haul by Minnesota* - DanSaint July 30, 2025, 17:39:10
  - Not sure if Abel graduated but these might be the 1st top 100 guys to be traded* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 17:41:38
    - he fell off after the draft picks were added. At least on MLB Pipeline* - DanSaint July 30, 2025, 17:42:52
      - He’s 92 on pipeline* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 17:53:07

  - Wow, that is too much.* - voiceofreason July 30, 2025, 16:53:20
  - Funny they got Tidwell and Gilbert - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 15:38:20
Reds trading for Ke’Bryan Hayes. Seems underwhelming when they really need offense* - OB25 July 30, 2025, 14:06:24
- He hits a lot of balls hard and a lot of balls in the air - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 14:12:06
  - Typical underwhelming move by the Reds front office. Guessing Suarez was too expensive. - Kajagoogoo July 30, 2025, 14:14:30
Ke’Bryan Hayes to the Reds. I don’t like this. I feel like he can hit there - CanHartlebHireSnider July 30, 2025, 14:06:22

- Rays beat says Tampa is working on a separate trade to acquire a catcher too* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 28, 2025, 17:10:58
  - Nick Fortes from the Marlins. Definitely a glove first guy* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 28, 2025, 17:18:49
- I don’t really understand this trade but knowing the Brewers it will work out - CanHartlebHireSnider July 28, 2025, 17:04:02
  - Was just going to say he totally looks like the typical Brewer that will inexplicably become good* - OB25 July 28, 2025, 17:06:51
    - I hope so. I was good friends with his Dad in HS and played softball with him every summer when I... - MtHoodIllini July 28, 2025, 17:26:33

Well you can cross Clase off the list. Being investigated by MLB for gambling* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 28, 2025, 11:58:03
- what odds can you get on a single pitch being a ball or strike?* - bbonb July 28, 2025, 14:12:43
- Some of these aren’t that crazy (including the one that got swung at), but some are pretty bad - OB25 July 28, 2025, 12:19:45
  - Outside the pitches that didn't go 45 feet, none of those are that out of place for a power reliever - Chicago1995 July 28, 2025, 13:53:57
    - One of Clase's superpowers is his command - LWillhite July 28, 2025, 14:56:09
    - People are just speculating cause that’s what Ortiz was busted for. We have no details on Clase - CanHartlebHireSnider July 28, 2025, 14:02:57
    - I tend to agree, but it’s the ‘first pitch of the inning’ variable that makes it more questionable* - OB25 July 28, 2025, 14:00:44
  - What’s the implication? - SurfTheBoneyard July 28, 2025, 12:37:04
    - You can. That's what his teammate Luis Ortiz got busted for* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 28, 2025, 12:37:38
      - Huh. I don’t bet obviously. Can’t believe that is allowed.* - SurfTheBoneyard July 28, 2025, 12:39:02
        
        I can’t believe how dumb these guys are. He’s making 5 million this year - John Coctostan July 28, 2025, 13:54:27
        
        One possibility that could make it make sense… - SurfTheBoneyard July 28, 2025, 15:51:25
        
        I doubt it will be for much longer. - OB25 July 28, 2025, 12:41:55

    - They have been pretty similar - CanHartlebHireSnider July 28, 2025, 11:28:55
Hopefully Gore* - CanHartlebHireSnider July 28, 2025, 8:19:18

Maybe Luis Robert or Ryan Helsley* - jjlocke923 July 28, 2025, 8:16:05
- Well, not exactly sure Luis Robert Jr would be a surprise. JMHO. - osklister July 28, 2025, 9:03:18
  - The surprise will be just how low a return he generates* - UofIL6 July 28, 2025, 10:04:33
    - My thought has always been there's no way he's on the Sox in 2026 - CanHartlebHireSnider July 28, 2025, 10:24:10
      - Been on the 7/31 trading block for at least two years now. - osklister July 28, 2025, 11:49:41
        
        I don't think Jerry has anything to do with it - CanHartlebHireSnider July 28, 2025, 11:54:21
