It's OVER 5,000!
i reckon Loney can cover for Duda well enough for the Mets to avoid trading pen depth.
Maybe, I just threw them out as they were the team MLBTR speculated about recently concerning Moreland when Gallo comes up.

Not me. I also don't think either team would. But Gallo has too much swing and miss. He will be huge or a bust. Too much risk for a one for one imo.

I don't know Duda's timetable to return, but unless we are talking August+, I don't see why the Mets would make that deal unless Loney is just awful.
Nor do I to be honest, that is why I let you know that I was just repeating MLBTR naming them. It could be the writer there expects Loney not to be up to par and considers Moreland a possibly option later if so. Just a guess.
dude is destroying AAA pitching this year tho, and has improved his K rate to 23% (with a 21% BB rate) swing or miss is fine if you have homers to go with it, and we desperately need his power. I don't know if the Rangers would do such a deal, but if offered, I think I'd have a hard time turning it down.

I did note that but I'd feel better if he was killing the international league rather than PCL. But either way that is an improvement worth noting and is partly why I would be tempted to say yes. But I'd probably still say no since I believe has enough value that in a straight up trade like this you shouldn't have to concern yourself with such risk. That said, I also seriously doubt that the Rangers would do it during the season anyway..
I just think he will make a splash then fade off as pitchers learn the holes.
based on what? K rate? If he hits for power nobody will care about his K's, Gallo can take a walk too. He may turn out to be Adam Dunn with better defense, I think most of us would take 6 years of that!
straight up question (not necessarily am I supporting this but want to gauge the group)
Would you support a Teheran for Gallo trade straight up, one for one?
that is an interesting scenario, buying Fielder so they add Brinson. then freeing us to trade Freddie for value.
not bad!
If you look at the Rangers rotation, it's ranked 14th overall, but there could be some major regression due by the time the deadline rolls around. They might end up with 2 great arms and 3 or 4....meh
no way they pay Freeman all the way down if they traded him. He provides too much value. the rest of it seems interesting tho.
Meant only for the rest of THIS year. Indians don't have any money.
Jays just optioned Matt Dominguez to AAA. I think the braves should make an offer for him and see if he can regain his 20 HR form from a few years back. Can't hurt (and tho not Brooks Robinson, he can actually play 3b unlike Garcia)
