White Sox reportedly turned down the Dodgers offer for Crochet. It's possible they asked for Gavin Stone in return, which I'm sure the Dodgers would have turned down. Stone is their most dependable starter at this time. I can tell you, as a Philadelphia native, if Robert has a play like he had tonight, where he caught a shallow fly ball but didn't throw to home plate to try to cut off the winning run, he would not last very long in Philly. The Phillies fans would be on his ass forever for that.
The bottom line is making the playoffs and taking it from there. If the Giants, Mets and DBacks are within a few games of the last playoff spot, they will likely make at least modest acquisitions to improve their weak points. No one who is right there in contention is going to look at their fan base and justify selling it off because they’re not winning the WS. That doesn’t happen.
I don't think the mets will buy OR sell. I think they will keep pete for the rest of the year and resign him during the off-season. Maybe they trade Severino and McNeil because they have Senga on the way back and Acuna on the way up. But that's it. They'll just keep trying to win with what they have.
Actually, the Dodgers DO need some pitching, at least a good starter and, preferably, the starter and a bullpen. Other than that, they need an everyday LF....named Randy. I get it may seem they have enough pitching but in reallity it's full of IF's. Edit: if the Dodgers can get Randy and a starter, they don´t need Bo since they can cover the OF bat and reinforce the pitching side, hence they ride with Rojas at SS
Jim, you always talk about all this amazing young talent that is about to blossom in 2026 for the A’s. Who? Who are these guys? They don’t have a good farm system and the guys they’ve traded for have been ok, or flat out duds. Please name some names and elaborate. I could be wrong, and I’d be happy to be wrong as I like the A’s. But who are these guys that are going to serve as this great young foundation for the A’s in 2026 and beyond…?
As a Diehard Orioles fan, I don’t want to trade for Crochet at that asking price. I’m worried about the innings limit he could have and I think with adding a starter like Cal Quantrill and a bullpen guy like Tanner Scott/Carlos Estevez drastically improves our World Series chances this year without giving up the prospect capital for a guy who’s been a starter for 3 months. Just my take
Deadline trades are fun to speculate on: My take with Dodger bias is: Crochet- to Orioles, Padres T. Scott-Yankees Dodgers Arozarena- Dodgers Eflin-Dodgers Robert-Phillies, Mariners long shot Dodgers Flaherty-Dodgers,Padres,Red Sox
Jim, loving the vids. Im in the UK so no expert on baseball (dont even know all the rules lol) but im a Jays fan and i think Bo Bichette will be traded away
Didn't know you are a blue jays fan! But yeah Yusei to boston is insane and I agree anyone walking out the door should be traded as in 1 year deals etc
Did you see the absolute garbage article Bleacher Report put out a few days ago? It has Toronto moving Jansen, Bassett, Kiermaier, Kikuchi, Bichette and Vladdy to both the Guardians and Astros for a bunch of prospects and Christian Javier. Call me crazy but I can't see The Jays moving Bo and Vladdy
You might be one of the few sane people lmao. If the blue jays want to be at all competitive next season they cannot move *both* vladdy and bo. I hope they move neither but if they end up trading one away, I hope we can hold onto vladdy. Even on a down year Bo could easily get good prospects for us, especially when he has another year after this season of control. In all reality, neither is getting traded, they bring in ticket sales, jersey sales, etc, and with having just renovated the rogers center there is no chance they toss away those sales.
I always wonder why you don't talk much about the Giants. But then again we have Farhan now don't we . So I guess I just answered my own question or comment
Rangers selling makes so much sense, but the ego will get to them. They don’t want people to believe last year was a fluke. Thinking they’ll spend, not wisely.
Its ok to be a fan of a team and be in hopes they don't trade away players but you seem to be on an island by yourself. Many people from the inside say the Jays are offloading both peices.
ngl i can see the mets be sellers on their pitchers more than their hitters. Sevy, Manea, Quintana (if they can get anything for him) and other impending FA pitchers will be moved. From what I have seen, they want to try and retain pete/jd and other hitters and just call up younger pitchers. I think its right to keep pete (and try to extend him after the season) and JD just to try and push bc of the position we are in (the wildcard picture). But i do think bader and other weaker hitters should be moved for younger options. But like thats just me tho and ur entitled to your opinion they should sell. Just to add, if they get offered the moon for Pete (Mariners or Astros give a top 100 guy or an insane package) you DO that deal but that prob wont happen
Bichette to the braves makes no sense. Why would they trade for another below average hitter who on top of it is terrible defensively. Arcia at the very least is good defensively. Bo is not an the upgrade Atlanta needs
Are you sure you’re not favoring his opinions because you want them to be true (Mets buying, Jays blowing it up, Vlad to Astros) it’s easier to hear what we want to & hard to hear what we don’t want to…even if the hard stuff is what you need to hear. Mets shouldn’t waste prospects and buy & Jays won’t blow it up. I’m curious what you agree with him on and disagree with me on.
@@sonnyferrari8258 of course we will. The opinions have a shelf life. If the Mets somehow get to 5-10 games over .500 by the days leading up to the deadline, I’ll have a different opinion (as stated in the video & numerous times on the channel)…but right now, hovering around .500, sell.
@@BALLCAPSports I agree with you Jim. You always have great takes. As a Dodger fan I get a lot of info from you for the other teams I don't see much. Keep the good content coming bro!
JIM, ur wrong about the Mets. They might not be great but you say the pirates might buy. The Mets won’t. Ur not smart. The Mets will buy. At least for pen. I think they will be small buyers and small sellers
@@Metsfan123 lol says the guy who’s team couldn’t beat the Nats in 9 b2b games. Bottom line is you don’t get it dumbass - This isn’t the Mets year. They’ll get smoked by the Dodgers, Braves, Phillies in a playoff series. All those FAs will walk for nothing. OR they could trade them and be BETTER next year. What don’t you get? Talk about not smart…Jesus Christ
@@BALLCAPSports well the Mets are going to be 8 over 500 by the end of the July. Also there have been teams that have been worse than the Mets and then come up and play well.
@@Metsfan123they are having their fun but are gonna be crushed when it matters. It’s the Mets a team who hasn’t won anything since the 80s if they trade for pieces they’ll be mid yet again like every other year
@@BALLCAPSports The Mets and Pirates are in literal complete opposite directions. The Pirates actually have control pieces to build around mainly in the starting rotation the Mets can guys like severino Alnaso J.D Martinez among others. If the Pirates buy and make the playoffs there ahead of schedule How are the Mets ahead of schedule in any way shape or form.
They aren’t going to be buyers bro. They’re a nice story but they won’t go anywhere in the playoffs. Listen to Jim. Get something for the FAs that can get you prospects. Use sense man!

Jim I honestly can see the Dodgers sticking with Rojas at SS and paying up for pitching. Can still get an impact bat on the back end.

You were spot on with LaMonte Wade Jr. and the mariners not having anyone behind him 👍

As a dodgers fan , bichette is not worth too much no more . His numbers are down . I wouldn’t trade a Gavin lux . Maybe 3 good single A guys
Bo is not worth 3 single a guys

Deadline trades are fun to speculate on: My take with Dodger bias is:
Crochet- to Orioles, Padres
T. Scott-Yankees Dodgers
Arozarena- Dodgers
Eflin-Dodgers
Robert-Phillies, Mariners long shot Dodgers
Flaherty-Dodgers,Padres,Red Sox
I keep reading and hearing that Dodgers, and others, don't like Bo B's defense.
Jim, loving the vids. Im in the UK so no expert on baseball (dont even know all the rules lol) but im a Jays fan and i think Bo Bichette will be traded away
My Cubbies and Mets should not buy, be smart and get ready for the future
Didn't know you are a blue jays fan! But yeah Yusei to boston is insane and I agree anyone walking out the door should be traded as in 1 year deals etc
Think Josh bell to Astros makes sense?

The Blue Jays may trade Bichette but no Bladi ...
When have the Orioles ever expressed an interest in trading any of their good prospects?

sorry bout that paragraph i had alot to say
But also we arent going anywhere in october so if you get offered the moon for anyone you trade them but time will tell
O's should trade for Fedde, trade with Miami for Ryan Weathers, and trade for Miller.
I enjoy you reacting to ESPN click bait. There writers are not very good but I think they look down on baseball in general.
Blue jays will move Bo but there's no chance Vlad is getting moved, he's the face of the franchise and will get extended id be surprised if he isn't
Vladdy has been great. idk what this guy at espn is talking about. He's hitting 300 with 13 homers and great defense.
Great at defence ? Looking at what stats ?
How about the cubs!
Bichette to the braves makes no sense. Why would they trade for another below average hitter who on top of it is terrible defensively. Arcia at the very least is good defensively. Bo is not an the upgrade Atlanta needs
Just Saying, Tanner Bibee is better than Flaherty so if the guardians were to make that trade, they'd be getting their number 2
Mets finish 10 over .500 with a new bullpen
Jazz to the Braves!
@@juliec1257 that would be amazing

It's FED- EE. You said his name 374 times and said it wrong 374 times.
Because I’m incapable of doing it. I know…maybe on 375 I’ll get it
Not at the Mariners yet but if its not Garver this whole video is trash.
Padres should trade Kim
