• You want CJ, or maybe Campusano. Take a look at Gore’s AAA line this year. K-BB%: 6.3. Awful. Can’t throw strikes any more. Doesn’t mean this can’t be fixed, but it hasn’t been yet. He’s still way too good to trade just for a Rizzo rental (looks like he’s in the mid-20s at FG; #36 in BP’s mid season prospect update), but as payment to take Hosmer?

• shame i had not heard Gore had slipped as a prospect

• Hell yeah I'd choose SD, too. I'd choose to live and work there EVEN IF the team sucked and wasn't loaded to compete for the next decade

  Seager and the Silver Medals Band on July 16, 2021 9:10 AM

• (Disclosure: as a Braves fan, I’m gonna hate anything that got Hosmer out of SD and gave them an entry into the Freeman sweepstakes. I’m not too worried about Boston (Freddie’s too nice a guy to want to play there); Milwaukee is probably too cheap; the Giants are definitely worth worrying about but he’s a SoCal boy; SD is a terrifying option. I know I’d chose SD.)

  BatGPT on July 16, 2021 9:08 AM

• SD would do that. They might ask the Cubs to keep Baez (Cronenworth is fine, including in the field). Gore is not a top-10 guy any more, but sure they’d still never trade him straight up for Rizzo. But to get out from under Hosmer’s contract? That would be very appealing. I doubt the Cubs would be so stupid to take Hosmer, and Cubs fans should burn Wrigley to the ground if they do, after all the “we’re broke!” bullshit.

  BatGPT on July 16, 2021 9:00 AM

• If I were Cubs I'd trade rizzo and Baez who plays gg 2b as well, for Hosmer and Gore. Would SD do that ? Seems like teams are reticent to trade top prospects for anything . what a fielding infield they would have though, machado tatis Baez rizzo

• The first 10 words or so tease us, then...Joc? Really? What’s the point of this trade?

  BatGPT on July 15, 2021 10:00 PM

• The Braves and Cubs have swung a notable trade, as outfielder Joc Pederson is on his way to Atlanta.  First base prospect Bryce Ball is the return going back to Chicago.

• Thanks again for all the Acuña offers. I liked a lot of them, but with Bauer being worthless and Yu’s health in question I felt I had to get the best SP I could. Of course we all know how well trying to predict SP success works….

  Homebrew Crew 🍺 on July 15, 2021 10:05 AM

• Very true. I am excited by the Yanks-Sox game and I have a bunch of players in it.

• Bass, I’m pretty sure my marketing director’s estimate incorporates the surgery. The injury is pretty bad but ACL reconstruction and rehab for pro athletes (and weekend warriors: a few of us may have had this procedure) is well understood (just ask Tom Brady). You all have sent me some interesting offers, and the Mookie trade takes a little pressure off, so I’m trying to work through trade-offs….

  Homebrew Crew 🍺 on July 13, 2021 3:32 PM

  Homebrew Crew 🍺 on July 13, 2021 9:16 AM

• any Bauer offers?

  Homebrew Crew 🍺 on July 12, 2021 12:03 PM

• re: Acuña, thanks for the offers. I have 6, including a couple that are very appealing (except for the “trading away Ronald Acuña” part of course). I’ll make a decision so my team is ready when the season re-starts, so this is a good time if you want to send an offer but haven’t yet (or if you want to sweeten your current offer).

  BatGPT on July 12, 2021 11:26 AM

• Almost-favorite stat of the first half, non-Ohtani division (h/t to Calcaterra): teams are 493 and 2 when leading by 4+ runs going into the 9th inning, and the Yankees have both losses. Reason why it’s not: I have Chapman and Green in both of these leagues. So favorite not-really-a-stat: both Max Muncies having the same birthday.

  BatGPT on July 11, 2021 10:02 AM

• He sucks but he had 2x the sacrifice bunts of any Brave non-SP (and more than any of them except Fried)—Chip Carey would be *very* excited about signing Eaton. I was worried they’d sign him even before Acuña got hurt. Waters and Eaton looks like the cheapest way to fill 2 OF vacancies.

  BatGPT on July 11, 2021 10:02 AM

• adam eaton is availabe

  Homebrew Crew 🍺 on July 11, 2021 9:47 AM

• The Braves fan in me might hate it (though the baseball-in-general fan might love it!), but if they’re doubtful about signing Freddie and skeptical that any of these OFs are both available for a reasonable cost and actually likely to help, they should look to trade Freeman to SD.

  BatGPT on July 11, 2021 9:38 AM

• I’m sure they’ll ask about him (and Kimbrel). And the Marte Bros (Ketel would be everyone’s first choice, but), Gallo, Hanniger, and everyone else who is said to be available. But they need a LF too (Ketel and Peralta?), and Liberty Media is pretty cheap. Maybe Drew Waters is ready? Let’s see how he does in the futures game today. Then, I don’t know, maybe get Duvall back. Or just Peralta.

  BatGPT on July 11, 2021 9:34 AM

  Homebrew Crew 🍺 on July 11, 2021 9:03 AM

• As some of you vultures have already pointed out to me, I probably need to trade Acuña for 2021 points. Anyone interested? (I also wonder how the Braves will react, since they haven’t managed to extend Freeman yet.)
