Do you think there are any players, other than Mondesi, that are completely untouchable? I kinda wonder if they'd be willing to trade a Keller, Merrifield, Soler, Junis, etc. if they got blown away with an offer. |

Can we please drop the concept of “flipping” vets at the deadline?
It’s not real. It doesn’t happen. They have literally zero value. |

I had no idea but Chris Ellis the pitcher they DFA probably won’t be back. The Royals have to offer him back to the Cards and they will more then likely get him back. He was the only the second pitcher who hasn’t allowed a run in the bullpen besides Zimmer but thanks Yost for DFA him you piece of shit

I would say Keller and Juno’s are untouchable as goin, controlled SPs with 4+ years of control. Merrifield, Soler, etc. would be available, For the right price. Both have plenty of cheap control left, so you wouldn’t move them for just any deal. Soler would also likely need an AL suitor, as his defense isn’t good enough to fly for most in RF. Quote:
We could if it didn’t actually happen anymore. Teams don’t surrender the value they once did, but trades still happen. Here’s a recap from last year: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.spo...0ftoio3a<br /> You can get some international bonus dollars (might be helpful this year considering they’re expected to splash 3-4 million on Erick Pena). Or lottery ticket arms. Sometimes you hit the jackpot. Most times, you don’t. Fernando Tatis was acquired for James Shields, then proceeded to blow up into an elite prospect. But when you’re bad, it makes sense to roll the dice and see if you get lucky. |

Except it does happen. The Blue Jays keeping Elvis Luciano on their roster as a rule 5 pick completely negates your BS opinion that these trades have zero value.

I just looked up Elvis Luciano who was part of the Jon Jay trade. Well he was the first player in the majors born after 2000, and he plays on the Blue Jays bc of the Rule 5 draft. We'd rather sign shitty T. Gore and Owings who will never amount to anything than try out a lottery ticket?

He was 18 years old when the Rule 5 draft happened and was at rookie ball last year. The Royals didn’t have him on the 40, so he wasn’t protected (and he was only eligible to be selected in the Rule V due to an unusual contract stipulation from his signing) It was very surprising the Blue Jays took him and were willing to roster him all year. |

I wonder how far we'll get into the season before Mondesi finally draws a walk.

I don’t care about his raw walk total if his approach continues to be good. Haven’t seen today’s game but know he’s 0-3 with 3 Ks. Honestly, not sure why you’re worrying about that 25 ABs into the season, when he’s carry and OPS north of 1.000. |
