I hope Stowers brings Alcantara with him. It will hurt, but if we're going to go for it, then go for it....

My vote is here. Stowers will be under team control for the foreseeable future. Sandy this year and next. It's gonna cost but lets do it

three unranked prospects is the return for Ward. Kind of a weak market??

Stowers and Sandy as long as it's only Neyens out of our top 7 prospects. If they want Fermin, Alvarez, or Mayer then no deal.

Ward is a weak rental. It shouldn't take much.

It'll be more than that, easily.

I wonder how much next year's uncertainty is impacting the trade market. Even if a guy doesn't become a free agent until after 2027, he could just end up giving you 2 months of playing time.

Mayer just got promoted to SL. I'd love to see him get his shot this year. He could be like 2022 Brown and make an impact in the postseason.

One is a proven 40+ HR threat , the other could maybe develop into a 30 HR threat imo. It's an apple to an orange imo just considering potential impact for an offense

The "proven 40+ HR threat" has 7 HR this season in 410 AB, so...

I don't think we are on the same page. Schwarber has 33 homers std. he was comparing Stowers to Schwarber.

woah in division trade alert

Live look at the Orioles' GM just 3 years after they went 101-61 and were the top seed in the AL Playoffs.

Langford available from Rangers, apparently


No way. Whoever is posting that has to be trolling. He's the 1 guy in that roster that is untouchable.

I believe Ford mentioned during yesterday's game that he's already had 8 IL stints.

Heard that too

Was a catcher in college and was moved to OF to offset injury risk and now can't stay healthy as an OFer.

Stud when fully healthy but that's not often.

Just one more and he gets a free subway sandwich!

Well, most teams would probably listen to any player. If the Dodgers want to trade them Ohtani and take on all salary, I'm sure they'd give up any player. The real question is will they listen to reasonable offers?
