Viz and Teheran listed as top trade candidates

Rangers and Rays discussing a trade, so Atlanta may lose a potential trade partner. Call up Chicago before they call Oakland about old Rich Hill.

Rich Hill leaves game after 5 pitches due to blisters.... Maybe this raises Julio price.

Considering Coppy said Julio's untouchable, and given his contract as i've spoked about, i dont see anyone ponying up the trade chips for him.

Never know though, deadlines spur action so they say.
 
Have some of you not watched Julio Teheran pitch? Jeez. Dude has been absolute MONEY. He's hitting all of his spots. He's pitching, not throwing. His value is so high.

Well everyone agreed he was going to be traded, and his value was certainly higher when he was healthy than now, no?

yup. doesn't mean they were getting offered good value for him. you have no idea what teams were offering them, so definitively saying they "waited too long" and should've predicted an injury is a joke.
 
i guess they should've just accepted best offer, no matter what it was. maybe they should trade for the crystal ball some of the posters here have!

When a rebuilding team has a closer that has already had arm and PED issues, yeah -- I'm selling at the first reasonable offer. What's the point of waiting a couple weeks?
 
Viz is nothing like Grilli... We are not talking about a 39 year old closer who is having a bounce back year.

If Viz is right, then he can come back and rebuild his value by the end of the year and be just fine. We can trade him in the off season, or next deadline and be just fine. Not trading JT and/or Viz is not the end of the world...

And people are still mentioning his freaking fastball! Which averages about 91, but he ramps it up when needed. He's not trying to blow everyone away with max effort. There has been about 4-5 pitchers better than him over this stretch he's on. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!

He's doing well. But I still think if you're looking for top guys that ppl will say you are giving up top 20 prospects for a 90 mph fastball?

If you are giving up Moncada type guys, you look better if you're doing it for 96. It's not right, but it's true.
