I like trades that give a reality check for how a player is valued, and this qualifies. The injuries have piled up for Marcelo Mayer, and he hasn't been good when healthy. The market has spoken: you can trade him for a reliever.
the sox seemingly have really soured on mayer so getting a reliever with control and red on the savant is honestly not horrible
him not being part of the adley trade says it all
The Boston Red Sox are finalizing a trade to acquire left-handed reliever Erik Miller from the San Francisco Giants for infielder Marcelo Mayer, sources tell ESPN. Deal is still in medicals.
The Brewers are acquiring right-hander Dustin May and left-hander JoJo Romero from the Cardinals, a source tells ESPN. @Ken_Rosenthal and @WillSammon were on it.
Early was the obvious trade piece from the major league rotation. Assuming Craig wants to keep dealing pitching, I wouldn’t be shocked to see Eyanson/Witherspoon shipped out for another impact bat.
Astros are finalizing a trade to send Lance McCullers Jr. to the Brewers, per @brianmctaggart
McCullers Jr. had been an Astro his whole career since 2015. He has a 6.86 ERA in eight starts this year and has been on the IL with right shoulder inflammation since May 19
I still remember going to a WooSox game knowing nothing about prospects, seeing that this dude had 1.000 OPS, and wondering why the hell he was still in AAA
@M4rlon1805 I know this is rage bait but I think the reason the US doesn’t do well in international events is because the best guys don’t participate enough.
Just look at the average USA FIBA World Cup team vs Olympic basketball team. LeBron, Steph, etc only show up for the olympics.
