2025 Trade Deadline Thread

[Southcack77]

If this was any other team, maybe.

But the Pads love to give top prospects away like it's candy

Has not really come back to haunt them that I recall.

Maybe I'm forgetting someone, but it seems we're at the point in the RP market where Iglesias is the best rental still "clearly available". The complicator is the "might-be available" group: Bednar, Fairbanks, Suarez, Doval, Jax, etc. Teams that may still be in the high-leverage RP market: NYY, BOS, TEX, CHC, LAD, CIN.

And then Bednar pops.

These deadlines are a big game of musical chairs. Once the buyers are gone you don't want to be the one holding out for a bigger deal that never comes.

AA missed the run on BP arms, so hopefully the desperate buyer emerges who didn't get their top target.

The Soto trade alone is haunting them right now.

Ever heard of Trea Turner? James Wood? Max Fried? Josh Naylor? MacKenzie Gore? David Bednar? CJ Abrams? Emmanual Clase?

Preller has unloaded an impressive amount of young talent. How he keeps reloading it is crazy.

AA just found a drunk hanging out behind his condo that he is going to sign on a team friendly deal to replace Monterible. Going to be setup man for Iggy the rest of the season.

The drunk said "My head is spinning" and Anthopoulos asked "Is it at least 2500 rpm?"

Braves need to trying to raid some of their scouts

The Tigers just DFA'd Matt Manning from their 40 man. A guy with a career 4.43 ERA in 254 MLB innings (4.88 ERA in 2024). And we're out here starting the rotting corpse of Carlos Carrasco who has a combined ERA over 6 the last 3 seasons......

I forgot about Turner and fried actually.

I don't even remember the trade really, but wasn't Turner just like a throw in for the deal.. not even the main piece.

The Juan Soto trade alone should have got him fired. Imagine adding Gore, Abrams, and Woods to their current squad.

We need him too

This one was of the names discussed for Murphy or Ozuna if I remember right. Promising back end of rotation option that was close to being a bit more than that.

Yes. When there was a report over a week ago that said the Padres and Braves were talking, Bergert was a name being talked about

Lol what? Yes it has

The chairs have moved all around, and it's looking like all that's left is a few violinists and this guy.

Anthopoulos may stupidly sit on his hands and make no more moves this deadline, but the certainty with which you say things sometimes astounds me. How can you definitively say “the run on bullpen arms has happened and it’s over now”? Like, that’s not even evidence-based—there are still plenty of BP arms on the market.

Another guy the Pads could have easily got without giving up the #3 overall prospect.

He will be a Brave by the weekend.
