With Detroit closer to contending than the Sox, you’re still gaining an high quality pitcher, but also setting back another AL team who, with Skubal, could be a couple key pieces from contending along with you. That gain is definitely valuable. Expand The only person who said he is available is Morosi. I’m pretty sure he made it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yep, along with the position player prospect from the trade currently batting .190 with a .665 OPS in High A ball. And then there was his trade for Dominic Fletcher… Or his trade for Bailey Horn that netted him nothing… The Braves won the Bummer trade. We are left with four bad players and one older relief prospect. His only truly good trade was Grossman for a relief prospect.
