Bobby Miller, Kendall George, Alex Freeland for Luis Robert Jr. Dodgers get a CF which allows Edman to move to SS full time, move Betts to second. Miller while still talented even with a rough 2024 season, long term he may not have a spot on the team especially with those young stud arms on shelf for 2025 but will be ready to go in 2026 like River Ryan, Sheehan, Stone, Hurt. Freeland is the top 100 prospect CWS gets in this deal. Dodgers sell him as by getting Robert Jr Edman becomes the full time SS so no room for Freeland. George is the project type prospect. One big name in Bobby Miller, one near mlb ready top 100 prospect middle infielder with decent upside, and a long term project in George for Robert Jr. Seems fair for both sides to me
as a braves fan, a pablo/castro package excites me. would clear up ~$28M for the twins in 2025. idk what the package would look like but if it’s baldwin/one of ajss/waldrep and a 8-12 range guy im in.
Big issue, I don't see the Braves letting Baldwin go. Ozuna leaves next year and I see Baldwin and Murphy flipping at DH and C, with Baldwin being the DH and Murphy DH on off days. Braves would do Owen Murphy (6), Douglas Gold (16), and Ian Mejia (30) and if the Twins want more AA hangs up the phone. The only way AA makes a move is if its the move he wants to make. I'd love to see Nacho Alvarez, JR Ritchie, Dylan Dodd, and Jarred Kelenic for Pablo Lopez, Austin Martin, Justin Topa, and Willi Castro
Twins won't trade Pablo. They'll listen but even if somebody blows their socks off, they'll still won't trade him. Twins do need a real good future MLB-ready catcher & Baldwin is a good one. But if ATL are open for LH Larnach OFer for Baldwin, it's a deal. If they have to dump salary it'll be someone different.
I get why people are frustrated with Mike Elias, but without him and Mejdal the O's would still be a doormat for the rest of the league. That farm system was is shambles, they had no major league talent to trade for prospects and they didn't even have an international scouting or development system in place. Those 2 have built that team up from nothing and now they're a slam dunk playoff team the next 4-5 years. A lot of fans are frustrated they didn't give Burnes a mega contract, but if they knew anything about how Elias and Mejdal helped build up the Astros that shouldn't be a surprise. Those Astros teams never committed big money long term to any pitcher. For some reason, with 3 months left in the offseason, everybody is writing the O's off just because they lost Burnes, who they won 10 games less with in 2024 than they did without him in 2023. Adding 1 superstar player doesn't mean much in baseball if it comes at the expense of major league depth.
The twins are not trading Pablo Lopez, with pretty much every good player the twins have, this off season there has been reporting of them “listening to calls”. If I just answer the phone technically I am listening to a call. It’s not gonna happen.
Was here for the baseball but now equally interested in eels

Is 2025 Dodgers the best team y’all have ever seen on paper? Idk what win total will be but I’m taking the over
Kerry Carpenter = Roger Maris

Giants are unlikely to make the playoffs IMO, I like the dbacks, and the worst 2 of mets, braves, Phillies significantly more and that's the ballgame.
