Moore hasn’t made a trade with a real asset(s) since Manaea for Zobrist. They don’t win the WS without that and Manaea has been solid but frustratingly inconsistent for the A’s, while also having trouble staying healthy. Before that, it was Myers/Montgomery/Odorizzi for Shields and Davis. |

I guess you could look at the Cueto trade as involving real assets, but as I said at the time, they were selling high on 3 guys who had major question marks as pros.

Manaea has had a very Duffy like career. For being told around the league that we gave up the farm for rentals in 2015, it's amazing that trading away someone who would have given us a Duffy like 6 years was the extent of who we parted with -- and it's made me bullish on always going for it when my team just needs a couple of pieces to get over the top.

World Series MVP Jorge Soler
He had 3 go ahead homers and was the 6th player to ever do that. He also hit .300. I could see someone giving him a decent contract. He turned the corner to a really nice season after he left. |

He was in a terrible slump, but everyone could see the signs of him coming out of it beginning about 3 weeks or so ahead of the trade deadline |

Not a surprise with Wade Davis, Greg Holland, Ervin Santana, and often injured Jesse Hahn.
I wish them well and hope they all retire and live happily ever after. It will be interesting to see what changes are made to the Royals pitching staff. Brady Singer RHSP 25 $593,700 Pre-Arbitration Carlos Hernandez RHSP 24 $570,500 Pre-Arbitration Brad Keller RHSP 26 $5,200,000 2024 Mike Minor LHSP 33 $11,000,000 2024 Daniel Lynch LHSP 24 $570,500 Pre-Arbitration Kris Bubic LHSP 24 $570,500 Pre-Arbitration Kyle Zimmer RHRP 30 $588,700 Pre-Arbitration Josh Staumont RHRP 27 $588,700 Pre-Arbitration Joel Payamps RHRP 27 $580,000 Pre-Arbitration Domingo Tapia RHRP 30 $570,500 Pre-Arbitration Jake Brentz LHRP 27 $570,500 Pre-Arbitration Dylan Coleman RHRP 25 $570,500 Pre-Arbitration Scott Barlow RHRP 28 $650,000 Pre-Arbitration Jackson Kowar RHSP 24 $570,500 Pre-Arbitration Jon Heasley RHSP 24 $570,500 Pre-Arbitration Jake Junis RHRP 29 $1,800,000 2024 Richard Lovelady LHRP 26 $570,500 Pre-Arbitration - Out with injury and surgery Gabe Speier LHRP 26 $570,500 Pre-Arbitration Do you think that Danny Duffy would be brought back as a relief pitcher and part time starter? He never pitched for Dodgers. Will Trevor Rosenthal be back from his thoracic outlet syndrome and hip surgery and could he be a low cost home town signing? |

It will be interesting to see what players they put on the 40 to protect from the rule 5 draft. If there is room I’d take a flier on Duffy in the pen (arm barn). Maybe he needs surgery and we are looking at a deal similar to when we signed Minor the first time. I’m guessing he would be signed after the rule 5 draft takes place, if he is.
Anyone read the athletic? DM and Picollo interviews are in article by Alec Lewis but I don’t get it. |
