    2025 Trade Deadline Thread

    AA is coming across as a guy who thought he was selling premium comic books to the comic book store guy, was offered half what he thought they were worth, and decided to storm out and stick the comics back under his bed rather than taking half the value he expected…where they continued providing...

    This deadline gets a D-, only avoiding an F because he didn't waste any resources acquiring anyone for 2026.

    Texas is currently: #23 in C WAR, and somehow don't even show up on the leaderboard for DH. Being able to use a prospect completely blocked by a cornerstone like Seager to fix both positions for free in 2025, and to control the C for even longer, has to be appealing.

    He's 19 and has almost 400 PAs in AA. I imagine someone like Allen would keep the position warm until he was ready in 2026. While don't usually trade guys like him, a team with Seager locked in at SS would be the type of team who could, and a controllable star catcher who is free in 2025 is the...

    Murphy plus Ozuna plus Cash for Walcott plus filler would certainly warrant a WOW.

    makes sense. Here's FG's headline on him: "If you're looking for the next Fernando Tatis Jr., this is your most likely candidate."

    Umm, Walcott is the #4 prospect in the sport according to FG. I have a hard time believing Texas would trade him for a rental DH. A trade with him would have to include massive payroll relief going to the Rangers, and probably Murphy.

    Do any of these GMs even remember AA is here?

    I can promise you with 100% certainty you're not capable of conveying a thought I can't comprehend. But by all means, keep pounding the semantics table despite nobody actually disagreeing with your actual point of "De Vries was an overpay". We all know he was an overpay no matter where he ranks...

    And we’ve reached the point of arguing semantics. Made is a better prospect than De Vries according to the sites trusted by most people. At the same time, De Vries is a valuable player who was likely an overpay for miller. Any other nuance arguments is nothing more than being argumentative.

    Once again, AA missed the run on BP arms. That’s a fact, no matter how you understand that phrase. Sometimes missing the run is a good strategy, but it doesn’t change the fact that you missed it. So for 17th time, AA did, in fact, miss the run on BP arms. And again, for the 16th time, that...

    I in no way claimed the window was closed. In a fantasy draft if you miss the “run on QBs” you can still draft a QB. People still draft QBs after that run, and that term is commonly used in exactly that manner. For example “I’m going to wait until after the run on QBs to get mine”. You not...

    I’d recommend reading the blurbs in both guys. FG very clearly explains why they favor Made.

    I would just ignore anything that appears on mlb.com other than box scores. But the point stands, he’s a valuable prospect.

    I didn’t say no more BP arms would move. I said the run on BP arms happened. A “run” on players means the flurry of moves where the bulk of them move. In a draft the “run on shortstops” did not mean no other shortstops were drafted. And yes, AA missed the run on BP arms.

    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.

    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 run on BP arms just happened over the last hour, so it's a little discouraging Iggy wasn't part of it. Hopefully AA didn't once again outsmart himself.
