2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

[Enscheff]

What’s Gausmans surplus value? Rough estimate?

$15M this year and $10M per for his 2 Arb years of control? $45M total? Half Archer’s value?

Fried plus filler and/or pool money?

 

[Southcack77]

Still worry about Gausman's HR/FB Rate in SunTrust.

Suntrust is not a home run park.

Archer to Pirates lmao

 

[Chico]

Count me in the worred class. It all depends on the return as we have enough #3/#4 pitchers.

 

[Garmel]

Let's hope we didn't get bent over the table.

 

[atl717]

We can unlock Gausman's potential if we can refine his slider. Not sure we have that guy. But he's still an upgrade.

 

[Super]

maybe Givens, too?

 

[PurpleBrave]

Meadows, Glasnow, and a third piece to Tampa

whoa

 

[nsacpi]

And those options are why I've always valued Archer and that contract so highly - if he blows out or the velo disappears, you literally owe him nothing.

The Pirates are one of the few teams that seem to properly value the protection against downside risk that options give them.

 

[Jaw]

The previous trade with the Os showed that they value international slot money. How much of that do we have left?

 

[BeanieAntics]

Meadows, Glasnow, and a third piece of Tampa

Holy sh**... Yeah fu** everything about that return for Chris Archer. I'm not coming even close to meeting that price. Now I'm insanely worried about the return we gave for Gausman

 

[Super]

Meadows, Glasnow, and a third piece to Tampa

whoa

i can see why we lost out.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I fully believe we missed big time by not getting Archer. We’ve had a good deadline, but man.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Bracing for impact on the Gausman trade. Hope we used Gohara. Doubt I will like what we gave up.

 

[BeanieAntics]

i can see why we lost out.

No joke... That is an INSANE return for Archer. Good on the Rays. I would have been pissed if we beat that.

 

[Super]

I fully believe we missed big time by not getting Archer. We’ve had a good deadline, but man.

what did you want to give up exactly? I don't think we could beat that if we tried.

 

[UNCBlue012]

NOPE. Saw the return. Eff that. Good job, AA.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

No word yet on who the Os are getting, or if we are getting anyone other than Gausman...

Also no word on who the Rays are getting for Archer

 

[JxnMissFan]

i can see why we lost out.

We will have a chance to trade for Archer again next year.

 

[BeanieAntics]

I fully believe we missed big time by not getting Archer. We’ve had a good deadline, but man.

So you think we missed out by not beating Glasnow, Meadows, +++?? Yeah, I'm super glad we didn't take that valuation. My offer wouldn't have been close
