MLB 2022 - 2nd Half

[RIPPA]

Even weirder - apparently Seth Johnson needs TJ 

[RIPPA]

The Tigers Andrew Chafin - who is expected to be traded in the next 24 hours - is unvaccinated.

He just missed the Tigers series in Toronto

Folks don't think it will affect his tradability since Benintendi hemmed and hawed his way to the Yanks

Okay makes a little more sense now

So was he on the 40 man already, or would they have had to add him to protect him from the rule 5 draft?

Really hope Jose Siri gets a chance to shine in Tampa Bay. I’ve liked him ever since he lit up the Midwest League with Dayton in 2017 with that nearly 40-game hitting streak. While I know that success in the minors doesn’t always translate to the majors, hopefully he’ll get some playing time in Tampa and be able to replicate some of that success.

If I had to guess - the later

Meanwhile the Braves have extended Austin Riley

10 years, $212 million

Quote

Riley will make $15MM next season, $21MM in 2024, then $22MM annually through 2032. The deal also contains a 2033 club option valued at $20MM. 

There does not appear to be an opt-out

The Red Sox are the team acquiring Tommy Pham

And that Christian Vazquez deal is amusing since the Sox and Astros are playing each other right now. JD Martinez just told reporters that Vazquez had gone through the hitters meeting and then got traded so he is walking into the Astros clubhouse knowing how the Sox are planning to pitch to them

[BrianS81177]

And after trading Vazquez the Red Sox turn right around and acquire another catcher. Reese McGuire.

[BrianS81177]

Red Sox also get Tommy Pham from the Reds

Yanks are getting Frankie Montas and Lou Trivino (most likely giving up Oswald Perez in the process)

Astros are getting Trey Mancini

after observing 100 or so games of A's baseball this year, The Yankees are getting Frankie Montas from Oakland in exchange for also taking Lou Trivino from Oakland.

The Braves got Robbie Grossman from the Tigers (The Tigers got a random minor league arm back)

The Braves are also supposedly getting Jake Odorizzi from the Astros but that technically hasn't been finalized yet

I'd extend too if I got $212 million with no opt-out.

Twins are getting Jorge Lopez from the Orioles

Matt Bush is being traded to the Brewers

Follow up from the Wash Post reporter

 

[RIPPA]

Passan says the Nats will be getting one more player in addition to the ones above

It is said to be "a major league player" so clearly the Padres are trying to get them to take Hosmer

[RIPPA]

HA!

 

[Dolfan in NYC]

I think it's safe to say the Pads are all in. 

Have to wonder if it's enough to take 4 games from LA.

[Craig H]

Must be cool to trade away an amazing player and get back a haul in return.

I look forward to the Cubs trading Contreras for, like, a couple middling dudes and Happ gets traded for one of those coupon books you can use at local restaurants.
