Trade Deadline 2026

[imref]

Holy crap what an overpay

Yeah, that's a huge return for Baltimore. It probably takes the Red Sox out of any deal for Abrams though given they just traded their 2, 4, 5 & 17 ranked prospects.

Sean McAdam:

Some people in the game are completely stunned by what the Red Sox gave up for Adley Rutschman. Said one evaluator from another org.: "I'm absolutely dumbfounded by this...This is literally one of the most ridiculous trades I've seen in 30 years."

Holy crap what an overpay

yes. Azocar is a big prospect, and those two pitchers have been premium guys in high minors. For a rental. Should have gotten Goodman for that package.

They may have been bidding against the NYY. I would have rather gotten Liam Hicks

Rutschman isnt a free agent until 2028.

2028 at least takes care of C for a while.

[bluestreak]

Just so we are clear, Rutschman is under team control through the 2027 season.

Casey Mize to Padres

Uh ... what

[tomterp]

Uh ... what

TRADE DETAILS
Padres receive: RHP Casey Mize, INF Gage Workman
Tigers receive: LHP Kash Mayfield (SD No. 2 prospect; now DET No. 6), LHP Jackson Wolf

According to Jeff Passan, the Tigers wanted Logan Henderson from the Brewers for Skubal. If that’s the case, I would have said no as well.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

We missed the Daulton Varsho for Spencer Arrighetti trade. Had the Nats wanted to unblock Crews from full time in CF, I would have thought Young would have been more valuable. Cheaper, more control, better d  and at worst a wash offensively this year.

Isn’t Varsho top notch defensively also?

Isn’t Varsho top notch defensively also?

yes, but he's been more mortal the past couple of years, at least by some measures.

Detroit is going to make the playoffs after trading away its best two pitchers…
