The Colorado Rockies have asked for the number one prospect in the RedSox system Franklin Arias & Tampa Bay Rays number one prospect Theo Gillen for Catcher Hunter Goodman per @Ken_Rosenthal.
I would also like to see them clear up the OF logjam somehow. Youโd imagine that Melton & Simpson are completely off the table in talks. Fraley as well because of his injury.
That leaves (hopefully) one of mesa, mullins and deluca in a package that helps us this year & next.
With all the injuries and standings changes, were getting to the point where there arenโt many names that are really worth giving up some of the Raysโ top prospects for.
Atp, unless they get Abrams, Adley or make some magic with a name not being floated: make marginal moves.
New at ESPN: All-Star catcher Shea Langeliers has a torn meniscus in his knee and could miss the remainder of the year, taking him off the trade market and dealing another blow to an A's season gone wrong. Details free at ESPN: https://t.co/P4v850R5CR
Nolan Arenado is the 6th player in MLB history with 2,000+ hits, 350+ HR and 10+ Gold Gloves, joining:
- Ken Griffey Jr.
- Willie Mays
- Mike Schmidt
- Johnny Bench
- Al Kaline
I donโt think Iโve ever seen a deadline where every article I read has the Rays being extremely aggressive.
Normally weโre in the โwait and seeโ or โbuy and sellโ categoryโฆ Iโm trying hard not to get my hopes up too much but the AL this year is so wide openโฆ this is the year.
The boys finally got off the hump after the ASB.
2 weeks until the deadline and Neander has some moves to make.
The dream: Shea Langeliers
Realistic Predictions:
Jake Rogers
Freddy Peralta
A few pen reinforcements
2B? (This is gonna be the trickiest to add to imo)
Cmon Erik
How ethical every team's best player (by bWAR) has been this season
Note that this isn't based on how good they are. Just how ethical of a player they are
A sneaky move the Rays could make at the deadlineโฆ Jake Rogers
I might just not be tapped in but I havenโt seen him mentioned really anywhere, and sneaky is how the Rays like to move.
