Dick Allen Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 05:52 PM) Insane to me that the Tigers couldn't do better than that even with Martinez just being a rental. Lugo is a pretty good prospect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveno89 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 06:13 PM) Lugo is a pretty good prospect Dbacks have a weak farm. Surprised the tigers didn't get more, although not many buyers on the market right now for position players. Can never have too much pitching though.

ScootsMcGoots Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 So, we now have technically 3 rebuilding teams in the AL Central (I consider Twins still rebuilding), with Cleveland being a mediocre 1st place team and KC...not really sure what to think of them...not that they are good. This division could really suck it up for the next few years...and it also could be the most dominant one for the following 5-10 years. Should be interesting to see how Detroit decides to rebuild their system, as the Sox now have some competition in the rebuilding department.

KC will be rebuilding starting next year, and I think the Twins goal is to no longer call themselves rebuilding next year. Detroit is a mess.

OmarComing25 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Morosi says talks between the Astros and A's about Sonny Gray are heating up. Also said the Astros are considering a Verlander/Wilson deal instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they will indeed get Tucker, maybe Whitley, and a lotto ticket if I had to guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 So David Phelps who has no closer experience got a pretty nice return for the Marlins. And yet people still want to believe Robertson has no value in the trade market and that him for Clarkin and Clippard salary would be a fair deal. Granted Robertson makes about twice the salary, but eating half of his 2018 salary shouldn't have been an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsOnMintSt Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I think that Tucker has a better chance of being a "sure thing" but Jimenez has more upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he does...but who knows. I'd bet Martes and lower level specs get it done. Maybe Paulino...maybe Fisher...again...who know how desperate they are now. I know Martes is a higher rated prospect...but no way they value him more than Tucker IMO. Regardless...my overall opinion is SUCK IT Luhnow! Snooze you lose....
