I wonder if the Twins got him too. Should've guessed Martin but with Martinez looking so good they could afford to move Martin. Martinez might have the higher upside.

They'll have a long climb to rebuild their pitching. I think we'd all prefer our rebuild go the way of the Astros rather than the Cubs.

bmags Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Mark Shapiro can do this trade because he knows he can continue to bring talent in through draft and international. Common thread I see, personally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Great trade for Twins. I think Austin Martin was a man without a position for Jays. Centerfield maybe? I actually don’t love Berrios against anyone but us, so I question the aggressiveness, but Toronto really going for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean people say "Cubs rebuild" like it was a bad thing. They got a World Series and 4 straight playoff years, and 5 out of 6. I'd take that. Sure Houston's run is better, but if we get that kind of return on this rebuild, it will have been worth it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Interesting thread from JJ Cooper, I admit, I am completely flummoxed by prospects this year, including our own. I guess it didn't thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously either scenario is great. I'd take either of those versus say the Phillies since their heyday. They're just two very prominent, recent examples that the Sox are semi-modeled after.

South Side Hit Men Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Wonder who is going to pitch for the Twins the rest of the season besides Maeda and if they hold onto him, Pineda. Can see Happ DFA’d soon, even though they are desperate for arms. If they trade Buxton your looking at a possible 100 loss team. Of course, the Sox only have one more series left with them.

Just picked up 2 guys in the Cruz trade that will be options. Ober. Maybe they give Duran a shot, though he'd been bad in AAA. Jax, Thorpe and Dobnak.

If they have an era over 5 that will beat the Sox lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Padres keep getting shut out of these deals....watch them trade for Harper and Wheeler just so they can trade some of their farm away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly looks like they're buying so don't think that would work. I'm worried they'll give the Twins a haul for Buxton or Kepler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 4 hours ago, bmags said: they also say it like it is the only example of a baseball team in the history of the world. Well, the Royals window opening end of 2013 and closing with all the injuries in 2016…most KC fans wouldn’t trade it for the world. More what most would have expected of White Sox. But the division seems to be so wide open other than Detroit mounting a nearer term challenge if they actually go big in FA for position players. Otherwise, they are looking at 2023.
