Pederson/Stripling deal is DEAD. MOVE ON.

I hope we don’t get Maeda instead of Stripling.

There is a holdup in the Mookie Betts trade, sources tell DTM.

Hearing that the medicals on Brusdar Graterol are “troubling”.

The #Dodgers and Red Sox could look for a new team to ship Kenta Maeda to, possibly the #Angels.

I would not put any stock into that account.  The Tweet right before it is thanking the Athletic for offering to buy them out, LOL.

Maeda and Stripling.... interesting idea.

Yeah, but until @mymerlincat quotes a tweet about it, I don't believe it.

Would be nice Joc Pederson, Stripling, and Maeda the more pitchers we have the better in case anyone get hurt.

Are you being serious or sarcastic? If that's the case then I hope a top 5 prospect of our isn't involved. 

[Hockeystatic]

Considering it took a top prospect for maeda, that makes me uneasy. No thank you

Until we see who the Angels are actually giving up. If it is, say, Adams and Soriano, that's not good. 

If the Angels end up acquiring a SP with a few years of control, Pederson and a decent prospect without giving up Adell or Marsh then I think that's worth the risk given the current make up of the team and farm.  I see that Adams is the 3rd ranked prospect in the Angels org according to two different sites but both also note his ETA as 2022.  We've seen how counting on FA to address SP can turn out and adding a pitcher with upside and control would be a real nice way to head into the season.  Like you said until it's completed we don't know the cost but so far everything reported has said it's not Adell or Marsh.

I’d rather just take Price, tbh.

So Graterol’s physical comes back as “troubling” and possibly Verdugo’s physical (back) as well...

We’re going to get f’d aren’t we?

Meh. Even if accurate, I don’t see the deal entirely falling apart over Graterol. He isn’t so elite of a prospect that a hurdle like that can’t be worked through. The only issue would be a delay, which I suppose could make Boston get cold feet over the bad press.

Dodgers are very motivated to get a deal done at this point. All the good press they’ve gotten and fan excitement? They don’t want to lose that. Deal will get done one way or another. 

[failos]

These delays are good for us 

[Stradling]

Could we replace Graterol with Sandoval?  I have no idea how highly rated Graterol is.  Would you guys consider making it Canning, but we get both Maeda and Stripling along with Pederson and Page.

I don’t think we have a pitcher at the level of Graterol. It would be comparable to Marsh. 50-100 range. Canning might work. Dunno if the Angels make that trade, though.

I’m with you. I don’t particularly want Maeda. I was just commenting on value. 

[Stradling]

I heard on MLB radio today that Maeda was in the top 4% on hard hit contact.  That meant he was better than 96% of pitchers in allowing hard contact.

We're on the same page. I'm only giving up Marsh if he headlines a package for someone like Clevinger. Not for guys that bounce from rotation to bullpen and aren't considered #1 or #2 type. I'd make it juicy and give Knowles and Suarez if they'd take it.

Well, it doesn’t really matter. He’s Japanese. And you know what that means.

Marsh might get Clevinger in like a year depending on the year both have.  Marsh’s value could go up, and Clevinger will be closer to free agency.

Maeda is 4 years and about $13 million total.

Let the Dodgers send the SP prospect and they can send us Maeda, Stripling and Pederson. We can kick back Barria and Yan to Boston too if need be.
