Someone like Aaron Ashby and Garrett Mitchell since they’re loaded with OFers and Ashby’s shoulder injury could make his outlook murky. By that same token, Gavin Lux.

Interesting idea on Ashby and Mitchell, though I’m not sure Arte will be sold on acquiring guys who are injured.

Do the Giants have a 45 FV guy who is also 6'7" & 280? Maybe that would be the "giant return".

Sure but Toronto sucks. They might be sellers themselves.

Yeah, I know. I just want to start moving out some of these fools before they all kill whatever value they once had...

All of a sudden, it isn’t early any more. We are fast closing in on a time when trades start to be made. Every deadline deal isn’t made the last week of July. Teams need help now, the Braves and Dodgers for sure.

 If they are going in direction of adding younger players then trade Ward.

Problem is, Taylor Ward has been awful of late. 

.192/.336/.394 over his past 30 games, .087/.259/.196 his last 15 contests.

I just don’t think Anderson has that much value even with how well he’s pitching. He was bad last year, peripherals aren’t great this year, an acquiring team could be stuck with a bad arm next year likelier than a good arm…that doesn’t mean he won’t generate interest and good offers, but I’m suspecting we’ll see more change-of-scenery, high risk/reward, ‘damaged’ goods types. Ashby could be fine, he could be Alex Meyer. Mitchell should rebound but Milwaukee doesn’t have a ton of playing time available, they’re ripe with young outfielders. And I believe both are back from their injuries and on rehab assignments, so it’s not like they’re getting guys unable to play. 

If Ashby or Mitchell emerge this year or next, makes it easier to consider dealing guys like Adell, Moniak, Sandoval or Canning next year IF they recoup some trade value. 

I’d like to pry Samuel Basallo away from Baltimore. I get Yordan Alvarez vibes, and he’s blocked at catcher and probably 1B given the number of prospects they have ahead of him.

Most teams are going to wait and see where they are in standings before making trades.

I like Sammy also and he is just 20.

I hope whatever GM's Perry talks to only use bWAR...

Behind a paywall at MLBTR but solid article about how the Angels should consider trading Sandoval, and how similar he and Jesus Luzardo are.

[Ron Mexico]

I wonder if they will bid on Anderson now after this 

[totdprods]

Still think Sandoval is a good fit for Baltimore. Their GM Elias would be familiar with him from their Houston days when he was in scouting and minor league development. Perry has traded with Baltimore at least twice I think…Iglesias and Cobb.

Neto and O'Hoppe for me. Soriano I would listen on just in case u are blown away by some offer. Anderson value keeps going up as he pitches deep into games. Deadline for halos will be very interesting.

[Angel Oracle]

Anderson’s FIP has been dropping recently, down to 4.55.

O’s could be a good target, as he’s now settled in as a solid AL pitcher.   Even after the Burnes acquisition, they still have a strong farm.
