2017 MLB Trade Deadline Speculation Thread

[GIN ANTONIC]

Normally I'd say yes but the As have a plethora of 1B/LF/DH players

Unless it was part of a 3-way deal...

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I doubt Cueto is getting shipped. Sabean values his free agents signings so much and has never had the mentality of a seller.

Pineda done for the year. Add the Yankees as a buyer. I wonder what they'd be willing to give up for Happ.

Yankees won't be buying.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Gray pitching well again. Increasing his stock.

What would it take to get Degrom to the Astros. Rumor was Astros asked about him but not sure if Mets said not for trade. But ppl from a Houston board is saying he's unhappy in NY and the rumors were put out by the Mets to see how fans would react. Not sure what NJ.com is but they had an article and suggested Martes, Tucker, and Fisher. More,less, or fair?

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Probably more. Not a lot more but maybe another piece that's far away and kind of a long shot but has some upside. I don't think the Mets have any interest in trading deGrom though.

 

[Terry Yake]

well gray definitely did the A's a solid tonight

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Gray has given up just 11 hits in his last 27 ip.

 

[BMOK33]

Yankees won't be buying.

They'll likely buy small but at this point they need to hope Texas does not get hot, because if they do only one WC will be open and they'll be in a dog fight with Tampa and KC probably. Texas is also a brutal opponent in a one game playoff, particularly if they have a big lead late in the season and can throw both Darvish and Hamels at you.

With Nats losing another starter to tommy John, id have to bet they too now go after sonny gray but sadly Nats don't have a lot of prospects that may entice them

What's Trea Turner up to??....

What's Trea Turner up to??....

Broken hand

Doolittle and Madson have both been very good this year. A's better not sell low on them.

 

[darko]

Now that would go a long way towards making them a serious threat.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Talk of White Sox/Red Sox discussing a Todd Frazier trade

Would likely be mid level prospects or something like that coming back for pending UFA

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

And virtually every contender is set at 3B, aside from BOS. Not much leverage for CHW but Hahn is really good at selling.

Orioles have seen the light.

Does the A's Nats trade effect the value of players like Brad Hand, Justin Wilson, and Zach Britton? Does it decrease the value because Madson/Doolittle didn't get the big prospects or increase because 2 less bullpen arms available? Basically wondering if the Astros will still have to give up a player like Martes? I think Tucker and Whitley will only be used for a top starting pitcher.

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Cause that's what the A's need, a hr guy who strikes out a lot
