The Dodgers got Tibbs, who is now their #7 prospect, for the rent of Dustin May and his negative WAR. Tibbs was the Giants #1 pick in 2024 and plays outfield. And somehow the Dodgers get 3 prospects for aging C prospect Hunter Fiduccia, from the very same team, Rays, we’ve been sending players to all year. K Lee anyone?

I'm a Leasure fan and he's got talent. But that last pitch caught too much plate. It wasn't the worst hanger in the world, but still dangerous.

I've been on the Leasure bandwagon for a while. Good to see him get positive results. Command still need improvement. But he's got the stuff and the poise/guts to close.

6-man rotation?

They do a ton of "quick to the majors" drafting. Angels have some good players; but the team in the West that has a lot of young position players is the As. They will be really good, soon.

Most of the prices seem expensive to me, but a few seemed cheap. And I wouldn't have traded Taylor for that Mason Miller package.

Why 1B when he has no power? Can any of these guys play OF?

Twins weren’t going anywhere with that team. Moving them out for young players makes sense; they would have had to do it in a year or 2 anyway. They will take a small step back, but not a big one. I wish they hadn’t sold; also sad that Detroit was so tepid in their buying. The Sox probably didn’t have much to sell, but they have several that should have only been here for the purpose selling; and now that they can’t, they should be cut. I think that trading one of the starters (Martin, Burke, Cannon) will be a topic of discussion in December. If one of Smith or Schultz becomes an ace, Sox will have the best pitching in the division.

Really could have used a lot more buying out of these AL Central teams. Need them to deplete their farm systems during Sox rebuild.

Rojas and Taylor need to be 1 and 1A. Getz has loaded up with another batch of what are probably organizational minor leaguers, so he’s got to at least give them an audition. He did trade for these players, as well as many already floundering in AAA.

Yea, it was okay; just not my cup of tea. Mead looks like the same player who's been traipsing through here from the waiver wire. Another IF. Can they at least cut Rojas to make room for him. But, yes, he needed to get Robert traded. It was even more important given Benintendi is intractable and he didn't want to trade Trauchman. We need room to develop the next generation. As for the relievers only 3 have real value: Taylor, Vasil and Leasure and we understandably didn't want to trade them. Yes Leasure: as soon as he gets his command squared away, he'll be really good and then we can trade him. Wish we could have moved others for flyers because we need the room. Palette needs to be up soon. Dalquist and "4 rounds" Kelley probably aren't far behind. There are others. And hopefully Taylor and Vasil in rotation next year.

Just another courtesy trade to the Rays - 4th or 5th this year; or maybe an attempt to save face. Could he at least cut Rojas? Lollygagging can't be good for the precious clubhouse. Just a lousy trading deadline period all around: he got nothing seriously done. Getz is really poor at this aspect of the job. He just is. Yes, Crochet trade was fine; but the Cease and Fedde/Kopech trades were not fine.

Well, yes, we need some of those. We do have some in Charlotte who could use a last look. And there's no reason for Houser, Civale, the 30-year-old relievers to not be moved. Moving Robert wasn't Getz' only job this deadline.

They have got to move Robert (assuming decent offers). Holding him to pick up an option is a bad plan. Frankly, not trading Tauchman for the good of the clubhouse is questionable too. We'll see how positive and happy he is to be on this team for another round. And why are Houser, Civale and the entire pen still in town? Okay, still 2 hours left; I can get off the ledge.....

Ugh.

Taylor wasn't. He got slot. It's not like Gonzalez was a reach where he was drafted; the ESPN guy had him ranked #6 or so. His willingness to take underslot is at least part of the reason the Sox drafted him.

Gracious the Cubs paid 2/3 of that price for Mike Soroka.

I could dig that return for Houser.

Trading Robert at a deep discount sets a bad precedent. I get the sense that Getz has a hard enough time getting serious offers from some of these GMs; selling him low will make that worse in the long run. Don’t do it. Re the option, is picking up Robert’s option the best place to spend $18 million? If so, pick it up; if not, spend the $$ elsewhere.

I doubt that taylor would net a haul. I think that teams are trying to get him for the price of a reliever. However, they shouldn’t trade him for anything less than a haul.

Pretty hefty price, especially in this strikeout-focused era.

When you give up Eder and a prospect outside the top 30, you can safely say that the price is right.

4th round pick from last year for Slater? Nice!

This also brings a last-minute showcase for the Katz-rejuvenated Tyler Alexander.

Fine, but then we should have gotten 2 or 3 Vargas’ in that trade. Sure Marlins did well trading for 2 out-of-options guys. How about the Sox? Hahn brought us Madeiros and Cordell; and those secondary prospects in the Frazier/Robertson trade that did zilch? Low minors Rule 5 guys. Getz trading for the older prospects = Julks, Fletcher and DeLoach. I’d say the real bargain, is not the decliner, but the ascender who hasn’t hit the ranked prospect lists. That’s what the Padres and As got from Hahn. That’s PCA. That’s what the Dodgers got from the Cubs for Bush.
