McMahon wont cost much, Suarez will. I'm not interested in hearing Spencer jones or Lombard jr in trade talks. IKF? Ugh, I'd just as soon stick with Jorbit. IKF has no pop and hasnt really played 3rd in a couple years. McMahon is no superstar but he's also a lot better than what his numbers are like this year. Hard to produce on such a dreadful team. I could see his game having a spark, like Jazz last year, going to a lineup where he's surrounded by talent
I wouldnt be disappointed with Suarez in the slightest, just hope he doesnt cost too much, and I'm not even sure Arizona thinks they're out of it yet. Only 6 games out of the wild card is not insurmountable

I don’t want them to trade Lombard. He’d wouldn’t be involved in a rental player trade.

Suarez contract runs out this year. He shouldn’t require that level of prospect.

Look at McMahon’s home and away splits. He hits .260 at home and .219 away. They’d be just as well of saving prospects and playing Vivas/Peraza.

Vivas/Peraza are batting .150
You're putting too much stock in to a down year. Mc is a significant upgrade to Peraza/Vivas. Folks said the same thing about DJ and Arenado and they still hit when playing for new teams
If Suarez can be had cheap, I'd prefer him as well but I dont see how that happens. He's leading the NL in HR & RBI and the snakes are only 5.5 out of wild card.

A lot of Yankee fans would be extremely pissed if they traded either one of those two, even for Suarez. Suarez has pop and is decent defensively. Wouldn't mind getting him but not at the cost of Lombard or Jones. Besides, if they don't fix the bullpen, they'd need more than Suarez to win games.


Bring back Gio!!!!!

If St Lou wants to pick up some of his payroll, I'd gladly take him

I wish they'd do that, and I'd do that in a heartbeat if it got us a good pitching prospect. The Cardinals are being fucking cheap, though, and expected a team to pick up his payroll.
 
Who's on third?
No, who's on first.
What's on second
I don't know, Yankees third base.
 
Suarez on fire, seems like the Cubs, Phillies, Mariners and Tigers are in on him
 
Nah, just the dog days of summer. They'll be fine, no reason to panic
 
They’ve got so many holes to fill, that I’d be fine with no more deals. Call it a season and roll with what they have. If it works out when a few injured guys come back, then good. If not, so be it.

Losing Gerrit Cole and then Clark Schmidt were devastating blows to repeating a World Series appearance. I don’t want them trading top prospects for rental pitchers. Don’t trade Schlittler, Lagrange, Jones, Lombard, Cruz-Rodriguez, Flores, Perez, Cunningham, Hess or even Hampton. Nobody that will is available will get them a World Series win this year. Trading prospects will only hurt the depth for next year, when the injuries hit again.

Weather the storm, stay in playoff mode. Make a pickup or two for the bullpen. Once the PS starts, then it's a new season.
 
On a positive note CC goes into the HOF today!!! Awesome.

Good group this year. Dick Allen. One of the best right hand hitters of all time. Besides being NL Rookie of the Year in 1964 and AL MVP in 1972, he also has another distinction. He was part of the trade for Curt Flood that set off MLB free agency. I remember seeing him as a rookie at Connie Mack Stadium (formerly Shibe Park). My pops had a buddy with season tickets dead even with third base, about 14-15 rows up, so I got to go a couple times a year. I saw a lot of great players in those days. Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, though I don't ever remember seeing the Dodgers. Weird. But I saw plenty of Richie Allen.

This year's trade deadline has got me imitating that Carvana commercial......."Hold......Hooooold........Hoooooooold......."

Don't give up Schlittler.
Don't give up Spencer Jones.
Don't give up Lombard.
Give up a couple of those catching prospects, of which there are about 50 in the system.

Warren is pitching extremely well. Schlittler looks like the real deal. Gil is coming back. Yarbrough will be back, probably to the bullpen.

Hoooollllldddd.

So they did really well, as far as I'm concerned. Got a couple of closers, a third baseman, a utility man, a base stealer/utility man, outfield depth and bullpen help. And the best guy they gave up was their #8 prospect. A catcher of which they have more than any one team could need. 53 games left, 3 games behind Toronto in the loss column. Let's see what the end stretch has in store.

Right now there are ten 60-win teams in MLB. None of them have more than 64 wins. It's gonna be a dogfight down the stretch.
