The Official 2022 MLB Trade Deadline Thread

[Second Base]

Benintendi doesn't get a top prospect, but three 40 FV prospects. Decent pitching prospects, but nothing that'll knock your socks off. 

If that's the barometer, expect Syndergaard to cost probably one of those guys. Benintendi doesn't really have any substitutes on the market and Syndergaard does.

I get the point but one 40 FV prospect for Syndergaard seems low.  Of course depends on the prospect.  But if we picked up his remaining salary, what would it look like then?

I feel Syndergaard will be a late trade as deadline approaches on Aug 2. He will not be top priority for contenders but option B or C.

Waiting might work out well....If we picked up salary, a smaller market team might part with a better prospect than one of the big dogs, who might already have a Castillo or Montas....A smaller market team like the Rays or Twins might pulls the trigger on Syndergaard late......

Moreno has probably never felt so much pressure in his life

[mmc]

I have no idea why anyone would have faith in us making a trade like buying a controlled player, or selling someone like Ward, Walsh, or even a guy like Ohtani.  This team doesn't do these types of trades, what reason do people have for thinking it's going to change?

He doesn’t know pressure. I had 3 carne asada tacos in Rosarito before heading back home. Sat in the border line for 3 hours and wouldn’t pay 5$ a square for tp. Talk about pressure.

New GM that has a different philosophy than the last GM.

I mean sure but he's had the job for over a year and a half now and still hasn't done that.

I know you don't like this idea but Arte plays a role in approving trades. A significant one.

So he’s had one trade deadline, ok.

@Stradling But he has surprised us by releasing Pujols and Upton which we all thought was something (Arte) would never allow. 

Sure, he's got to get Arte to sign off on dealing someone like Ohtani, but maybe Perry is crazy enough to do it should the offer be ridiculous.

And Arte cares if he trades a player with more than a year of club control left?  Arte cares if Warren or Wantz or Quijada gets traded?  Or Barria or Suarez?  The answer is no. He plays a role in if Trout or Ohtani gets moved.

Ok but it’s the trade deadline thread, the discussion is about what will be done in the next five days and most trades happen at the deadline.

Yep. Every owner is involved at some level, especially if you are bringing on money or trading popular players. 

[Stradling]

Oh and I have no idea if they’ll make a trade of controllable players. I’m just saying things change, philosophy changes, when you bring in a new GM.

Rental

Only one I can think of recently is Bundy, though of course he only had one year of actual value here

We traded a controlled player for a rental, yes. So half of what you say we don’t do.

He was the reason we got Vernon Wells.

He also nixed the Joc Pedersen deal with the Dodgers.

So yes, he plays a role in the trade process regardless.
