I like how we could be having some interesting conversations about Yankees prospects/trade proposals, yet we are locked onto the brain melting topic of Nick fucking Madrigal.

Sure seems like the Yankees could put together a pretty interesting package. I particularly would love getting both Arias and Lombard in a return as second/third pieces. Young up the middle guys with solid toolsets. Arias sure sounds like he has star upside as well. I'm very intrigued.

I'm way into Roderick Arias if the Yankees are involved.

I don't know why you hold onto Robert at this point.

I'm reading this as a Cease deal will likely occur with LA if Yamamoto doesn't sign there.

While I too would prefer a position player driven deal, I feel like you need to maximize the return on Cease regardless of the prospect mix. If Atlanta is willing to overwhelm you with quality pitching prospects so be it. But then again I'm pretty into AJSS, Waldrep, and Murphy. I also come back to Baltimore prospect hugging. There's a good chance the Orioles just aren't willing to trade the prospects that make sense in a Cease return. Even though they match up so well on paper doesn't mean Baltimore is a willing participant. It takes two to tango.

I'll take one Wyatt Langford please.

I actually really like Jett Williams and Drew Gilbert. I also wanted Colin Houck from last year's draft class. Always wondered about makeup concerns with Jett & Gilbert though.

Nice of the White Sox to let the Dodgers have the Ohtani spotlight for a bit before they dropped this bombshell transaction.

I mean. The White Sox are going to be irrelevant the next couple of years regardless. Who cares if Ohtani is on the north side?

The plane has landed. This is so dumb lol.

Lol. 18,000 people are now watching the supposed flight. https://www.flightradar24.com/N616RH/33251c37

This is pretty fun for anyone that has been following the Reddit Ohtani plane threads.

Ohtani in Toronto sounds great! I love when it's not just the usual suspects signing the mega-stars. I can get down with this.

Here's Montgomery so we can talk about his defense. Hadn't considered him for a corner OF spot.

Here's some snips of my favorite dudes outside of the obvious top 2.

I love Lowder and Petty.

Konnor Griffin and Brody Brecht sound fun to me.

Sure. Hope he continues to ball out and flip him at the deadline. Fine with this.

Yup.
