2025 Trade Deadline Thread

[Hudson2]

It hasn't been Anthopoulos' MO to trade veterans for prospects, so I don't know why he would start now. I think he's have to be absolutely bowled over to trade Murphy. I can see Ozuna being moved because you can cycle Baldwin and Murphy through the DH spot, but unless he can get an absolute haul (Winn and a couple of prospects), Murphy won't be going anywhere.

I agree. AA did fool all of us in the draft by going mainly offense. I think that's probably his plan going forward is to save Ozunas money next year and use Murphy and other guys through the DH spot which is fine with me.

I don't think Prince Albert nor Bummer bring much back, even if you pay the 2025 salary.. those two are more salary relief next year if you feel internal options (JJ/Lopez/Lara/Suero) could easily replace them. I would do it and use the 16 million to buy something more elite in the pen personally. I am also fielding calls on Holmes/Ozuna/and Iggy for sure... you better wow me for Meth...

You're underrating the going rate for quality relievers at the deadline. Johnson and Bummer are both quality, and would be pretty valuable if we ate their salaries l.

Murphy only gets moved if it can help the team in 2026.

It's really as simple as that. Other players who are gone after this year are fair game and I'd expect prospect most of them to be moved by the deadline.
