OT: MLB Thread XVI: It's football season!

[2Leetch_94]

I know of a stud reliever who's not a rental.....

Anyways, Severino called back up.

4. Torres, Mateo, Judge, Sanchez.

Rutherford will be by this time next year.

 

[The Undertaker]

Gotta hope they lose out until the deadline now.

Yup, seeing tweets like the one below, you really unfortunately do.

 

[Cassano]

4. Torres, Mateo, Judge, Sanchez.

I still don't understand how the latter two still get ranked in the top 50 and I'm a Yankees fan. Not so high on them.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Gonna have to disagree here, I think Miller has way more value than Chapman.

Which is scary on its own.

I agree with you, I said this recently.

2.5 years vs. .5 years. Chapman's better, but its not a big enough difference that makes Chapman more valuable than a player who's under team control for an extra two seasons.

The Cubs overpaid for Chapman, so although Miller should get more value, it might not be much more.

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Good deal. Yanks need to sell.

Crawford is a perfect 4th player in the deal, lottery ticket CF with tools--+ defender, + speed. Question is the bat

John Vittas ‏@JohnVittas3 3h3 hours ago
.@jjcoop36 Crawford has really figured it out at the plate of late too. Batting .342/.422/.468 in July

Some info on Crawford

Thanks, for posting - I also saw a write-up that said he was drafted primarily as a tools guy who hadn't actually played much baseball prior to getting drafted. Makes a lot more sense in this context.

I like the stubborn stance on trading Miller, likely means if he is moved the Yankees doors will be blown off.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

The price on Miller just went up ten fold. I don't know where other contenders are gonna get a better reliever anywhere. Nationals it will now cost you Giolito.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

That would be insane if they got Giolito. First time im rooting for Yankees to lose.

Giolito alone is not enough. But if I'm the Nats I would not move him. They do have enough other pieces that could get Miller.
Personally I hope the Yanks keep him and he remains a Yankee for a long time.

I'd say the top pitching prospect in baseball is a pretty fair deal for a 31 year old stud reliever. Sure, Miller has two years left on his contract, but are the Yankees winning it all the in next two years?

 

[BroadwayStorm]

For who?

For Miller.

Hey I like Miller too.

But the Yankees can buy any relief pitcher they feel like plus we have Betances.

They can't buy young pitching or future aces.

I would make that trade in a heartbeat but I doubt the Nationals will. Since the Yanks don't have to trade Miller if they don't want to the price should be really high consider the team won't just get them for this offseason.

Giolito projects as a Clemens type ace.

 

[Filip Chytil]

If they can get Giolito for Miller, you do that deal every single time and twice on Sunday. No question about it whatsoever. No way WAS would ever offer it, but if it's on the table, Yanks would be beyond insane to pass that up.

 

[darko]

Giolito is off limits.

Judge is top-50 IMO. Sanchez isn't, he's more 51-75 range.

Feisand says that Nova's next up on the trading block.

According to a major-league source, dealing Nova has become the Yankees' next priority as they look to bring something back for another player set to hit free agency at the end of the season.

"They're focused on him," the source said. "They're looking at the guys with expiring contracts first - though not Beltran right now."

The Marlins, desperate for starting pitching, have expressed interest in Nova, who is 7-5 with a 4.65 ERA in 20 games (14 starts) this season. Nova went through a bad seven-start stretch from late-May through late-June, but he's 2-0 with a 2.66 ERA in his past four starts, surging at the right time given next Monday's non-waiver trade deadline.

It's unclear what the Yankees are looking to receive in a deal for Nova, though the source said the early asking price is higher than expected.

"They're shooting high, but it's early," the source said. "They know what the pitching market looks like right now and they're trying to capitalize on that."

[UAGoalieGuy]

Yankees could really get 3 to 4 more top 50 prospects if they moved Beltran, Miller and Nova.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Love this kid already.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

I would only move Miller for a clear top pitching prospect.

But you absolutely have to move Beltran and Nova. That's a no brainer, they are not part of this teams immediate future either.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

Apparently the Marlins are interested in Nova and Pineda.

 

[E-Train]

Apparently the Marlins are interested in Nova and Pineda.

Weak system. I'd move Nova there being a rental buy not Pineda. He can go to Texas.
