Detroit, Cleveland, Mets, Texas are the four main teams I think, probably more. Mets can give them Travis D'arnaud which I'm not sure what the other teams can offer catching wise

D'arnaud is not a bad player, just can't stay healthy.


Lucroy not in the lineup today. Out of the lineup Monday too so doubt it's for "rest" but they'll spin it that way

Yeah he's been on that wire pretty much all year.

Gotta credit Wong, it was a great at bat. he fought and fought till he got what he wanted. Still love Familia


and yeah word seems to be Lucroy to Cleveland. shite but the Indians are interesting, that's a big bat for them, they get nothing from their catchers

Rangers are reportedly still in contact with the White Sox and Rays regarding Sale and Archer.

Sale or Archer won't get moved until the summer IF they get moved at all. I can't see either team doing it unless the prospects are outstanding.


The Mets trying to lowball the Brewers for Lucroy is kinda amusing.


One deal I am waiting for is the Reds to unload Jay Bruce and others. I mean Brandon Phillips, Bruce, Cozart, among other could be moved

Phillips has 5/10 rights and won't move. Dusty tried to get him this winter (and thank the Lord that didn't happen - sup Murph)

Yeah knew that and he has blocked trades before, still surprised they haven't continued to try and find a new team for him.

Reds tried to move Phillips last year, but for some odd reason, he blocked the trade. Maybe he is more open minded now. Bruce is on fire, perfect time to move him.

That would be good for the Indians. Yan Gomes is out and he has been terrible when not hurt.

The Indians should push all their chips in. They have three studs pitching all looking strong. Lindor is a stud, Kipnis is very good, Napoli has bounced back, and Rajai Davis and Tyler Naquin has been bonuses. Get Brantley back in a month or so hopefully and that would be like a big trade/signing.

Trade for an outfielder like Jay Bruce or Josh Reddick, Jonathan Lucroy, and maybe even a reliever. I think they are the favorites in the AL by a good bit. No one else in the AL can pitch.

Yeah it would be very very difficult to beat that rotation in a series if they can trot out even just an avg offense

This might be the shittiest trade deadline that I can ever recall in my almost 30 years of following this sport.
