MLB.com did a big survey last week, and it was glaring with regards to the lack of elite talent in the system. There were a lot of categories, and I think only Schultz’s slider and Leasure’s fastball got a vote for “best of” pitch.
There’s been some speculation that Peraza was the headliner they wanted to use. It’s really surprising to me how they won’t trade Jones, given who they have on the roster and what their window is.
I thought you said there’s little difference between 50 and 80? I’m really not sure why it’s so hard to understand his stock is plummeting because of his age.
So many of the Orioles prospects “in play” are 24-25 years old. I’d much rather the Sox go for high ceiling guys like Arias (NYY) than these older prospects. I understand the injuries and COVID year restrictions as well (since I’m sure the hangout will argue that).
