Hey everybody, hope you have had a very good week!
Tony
Thanks for the chat! My query is Cardinal associated. It seems that their greatest wants are bullpen and proper handed hitting outfield. In the event that they packaged Fedde and Gorman (change of surroundings) and a minor league catcher (or Pages from the MLB workforce) what sort of returns would you count on? Any influence gamers?
Anthony Franco
Not getting any influence expertise with these guys. I believe they every have barely constructive commerce worth however that is a amount over high quality package deal at this level. You’d in all probability want a workforce that basically likes Pages’ glove and thinks he is a low-end #1 catcher to get something of be aware again
Sandy
The entire mock trades for me have been wild. If seen mocks that embody each Leo De Vries & Ethan Salas is loopy. What kind of package deal do the Marlins get for me
Anthony Franco
I do not know what you are referring to on the mock specifics however yeah, they would not get both De Vries or Salas
I do assume they’ll pull a 50-FV kind headliner although, somebody who’d fall into the again half of the highest 100 vary. The speed’s nonetheless there, the command has been higher these days, and he is making fourth/fifth starter cash

Do you assume any workforce (Tampa?) would possibly try to amass Soderstrom from the A’s with an eye fixed in direction of probably returning him to Catcher (even when the switchback was to attend till subsequent 12 months)? Or has that ship sailed?
Anthony Franco
That’d be a extremely fascinating one. I can see the logic, particularly in the event that they pull a controllable MLB starter. Would not even essentially have to be a catcher conversion — that’d be actually powerful to do midseason particularly — however simply discovering a workforce that may put him again at first base makes some sense
Utah fan
Who can be targets for the TWINS if they’re consumers on the deadline?
Anthony Franco
Man, any form of purposeful pitching. Apart from Ryan, the workers has completely collapsed after the López and Matthews accidents. Looks like they want a number of relievers and no less than one new starter if they are going to attempt to make it work this 12 months
Knock-Knock
If Garver is your backup catcher you’re doing nice on the place. He was introduced in to DH for the M’s, however that didn’t work out. He’s overqualified for his present job, however I’d relatively have him sit within the dugout 4 days in a row than carry up Ford to sit down. With Cal because the endlessly catcher, Ford is tradeable. Why carry him up and run the danger of diminishing his worth or to play as soon as every week when he can add to his worth taking part in daily within the minors?
Anthony Franco
This one looks like it is conditional on a Garver IL stint however sooner or later, Ford simply has nothing left to point out them in Triple-A
Cal’s not going away anytime quickly. They’re simply going to must do the Drake Baldwin/Dalton Speeding factor of utilizing him occasionally as a backup with the potential for infrequent DH begins and letting him get his toes moist towards massive league pitching
Gimenez
No matter occurred to Andres Gimenez? Did he peak at age 23? It is one factor being a .250 hitter, however he is been under the Mendoza line for a lot of the season.
