Earlier rumbling on XM that we're apparently talking to Miami about Prado.
I think a Prado trade could happen. If we trade Markakis we're going to need a defacto team leader. He was a 3 win player in 2015 and 2016 before being injured for 2017. He's signed fror 2 more seasons which should be Riley's timeline if we're really planning on keeping him a spot open. He could play LF, RF, 2B, and 1B as well over the next 2 seasons if the need arises for him to do so.
The main reason to trade for Prado would be that we're getting something else in return for taking on his contract which seems to have been something AA has done in the past.
I wouldn't mind seeing the return of the great Nitram Odarp
Mariners searching high and low for pitching now that they missed out on Ohtani.
Maybe they're desperate - Teheran alone probably doesn't do it, but could Julio and Vizcaino get you Lewis and a wildcard like Anthony Jimenez maybe?
If we do make a trade with the fish, I'm assuming Jason Pare will be involved. I'm hoping AA is asking him about any diamonds in the rough he's bullish on.
Mets and Rangers discussing Harvey and Profar. I imagine Profar is as good as gone, likely this week.
Phils about to sign Neshek for 2/17. He was #2 on my list of best BP options. My #1, Morrow, has also already signed with the Cubs.
Looks like the Braves will be bargain hunting for the BP.
Love hearing this from AA regarding focus on improving defense. Kemp and Markakis' future as Braves very much in doubt.
A couple of other tidbits from AA . . .
