Dodgers are sending Double-A right-hander Nick Nastrini and reliever Jordan Leasure to the White Sox to complete the deal for Lance Lynn and Joe Kelly, a source tells The Athletic.
— Fabian Ardaya (@FabianArdaya) July 28, 2023

Nick Nastrini is the big prize here. Strapping righty with four good pitches and has thrived in the Dodgers' player-development machine. Leasure has monster strikeout numbers at AA this year and could move fast.

Others on this deal: @Ken_Rosenthal, @BNightengale, @Joelsherman1.

Glad the Dodgers took Lynn so we couldn't.

Did not want

Yeah Lynn has been real bad this year, don't see the appeal for him as I'd rather have France as our number 4 playoff guy

If the rangers end up with both JV and Hicks I'll be pretty pissed, but at least they won't get Snell/Hader

That's ridiculous if they get hicks. Two 7-9 inning bullpen guys who each throw 103.

Nastrini would be ranked about the same as any of our top arms if y'all are trying to equate the price. This is why I think it's JV or bust. His contract and no trade will scare off a lot of bidders.

Padres are only 1/2 game better than the Mets, and unlike the Mets they could have a great sale. They’re inclined to buy but they’ll listen on all, and Hader and Snell are the best closer and SP being discussed. (In here: top 20 trade candidates for buzz)https://t.co/gskbST4YKD

He's already pitched in 45 games. Abreu and Maton have pitched in 48 and 49.

He's already at 45 appearances which is 3 short of Maton so hopefully not a huge uptick

Graveman is a good add

About the type of add I anticipated (and 15 alluded to). Mid-tier arm with future control.

He'll help for sure.
