This I dunno feels like what's about to happen. Maybe not Bradfield maybe Honeycutt but something like Mayo + prospects with Kjerstad as the throw in feels right. I'd bet the Brewers want someone more proven like Westburg for Peralta.

According to Zips, if the Giants do LITERALLY NOTHING and roll out this exact roster. Zips like the giants as an 85-88 win team. That's nuts. I think they need a lot more than that. And Minasian has said he wants 2 starters.

MLB Pipeline has basically the same grade for all of these Players

The Nationals probably want at least 4 players so I could imagine taking Josuar out and replacing him with Wisenhunt or Birdsong and then adding Cayama or De La Torre. Would this get it done? Feel like Davidson would have to be in there too.

It would be approved by MLB trad simulators it depends on how good you think Ford is.

This probably doesn't get it done because the Brewers always want a good prospect + a good major leaguer that can help now. You'd probably have to swap Bresnahan For Birdsong and include someone in AAA that interests them. Maybe Meckler.

Wiemer is super interesting because his numbers against lefties are actually good, in a small sample size last year he was above average offensively against them and has been good for his career. Platoon Right fielder?

To go back to what @rog61.bsky.social and Crowley were talking about on the last KROG Degrom has a -13.5 value which would match about what the Giants would be willing to take on. I doubt the Giants would trade Tidwell, but I could see whitman and one of the San Jose 4 being part of a deal.

This is interesting and makes me think 1, they need to get younger in the field by 2029, and 2 they need at least 1 more long term starting pitcher.

I don't know if this would get the job done I think they probably want either Level or Gonzalez over Davidson. I imagine it would be McDonald, Gonzalez and 1 of the San Jose 4.

If this actually gets your Kwan the Giants should just do it.

I am shocked if Matos has this kind of trade value but I'd do this all day If I'm the Giants. This Also is about the same Value as Mitch Keller so i'd do that too

I think the Giants would do this I don't think the A's would do this. But this would have to be followed up by a big pitching signing.

Not a fan of Either Squad but this would work for the Twins. They could then spin Yoshida and cash to a team desperate for an outfielder. Someone who misses out on Tucker.

@dannyheifetz.bsky.social @dannybkelly.bsky.social @craighorlbeck.bsky.social Listening to the pod. #1 Ohtani is a great player and he's the greatest hitter since Bonds. But #2 to say Ohtani is the greatest ever is missing just how dominant bonds was.

For context from 2021- 2025 here are the top 16 Pitchers in WAR. These are the consistent guys
You can get Lopez and Alcantara for sooooo much less and Cease and Valdez are free agents.

If you take Eldridge and Buxton off of this list, and swap out everyone but Wisenhunt with other A- and ACL guys I think the deal is plausible. Joe Ryan for Wisenhunt, Level, Gonzalez, and De La Torre could get it done.

I'd do this in a heart beat. Especially if we could just get them to throw in Sonny Gray

Either the Niners have played a murderers row of good run defenses or, the Niners are so bad at running the ball that every team they play looks like a good run defense.

People are acting like Mac had this amazing game, but if you were to grade him play by play he was off target horribly at time and on the last few drives gave the Saints a ton of chances by holding the ball wayyy too long.
