2022 Trade Deadline

I like Happ and I'm totally on board with trading for him, but I do think it's worth pointing out that he's basically just an outfielder at this point. He hasn't played meaningful games in the infield since 2019 -- he hasn't played any infield at all this year, just 10 games last year and only two in 2020 (both at first). He probably still has the theoretical ability to handle some games there, but I don't think you can count on him as a super-utility guy.

Also, his B-Ref fielding numbers for the outfield are pretty ugly, if not Ozuna-esque.
 
Happ and Drury I wouldn’t think would cost a ton. If we could get em both somehow along with a couple bp arms then we would be in pretty good shape.

The Pirates won't get a trade package anywhere near that, but it's important to remember that Reynolds is under team control until the 2025-2026 off-season. That will likely drive up acquisition cost.
 
I have a feeling AA is still in Soler, Duvall, Pederson and Rosario mode. He's going to pick up a guy who costs virtually nothing with some hopeful upside. Will it work out this time? Probably not, but he's still living off that high of his past moves that won the WS for us.

Joey Gallo…
 
Just a warning. There is a fake Jeff Passan Twitter account out there releasing a lot of bogus info. Be sure to keep an eye out for the blue check mark for the real one.

If we’re taking on Yankee scraps, might as well grab Hicks.

Might make some sense except for his brutal contract that has him getting paid an approximate AAV of $10 MM through 2025. I liked him when he was here in Minnesota, but the Twins really mishandled him and he developed into something for the Yankees. He's really fallen off largely due to his injuries. If the Yankees DFA'd him and he cleared waivers, he might be worth a look becaue the Braves would only be paying the minimum. But he would be a minor upgrade if that.
