Just a heads up, it says “storng” instead of “strong” in the Jim Johnson section:)
Matt Galvin
David Robertson for Taylor,Lopez and so on?
Miller for Chick,Beede,,Arroyo and so on?
Johnson to Red Sox for Owens and so on?
Aybar,Beckham will get moved in August so will Nick M. A.J.,Vizcaino could get moved by Monday and long shots Juilo Teheran,Freeman.
Davis doesn’t get moved.

Can’t see the Giants giving up that much, and in the process, gutting their middle-of-the-road farm – for Miller.

That Miller trade isn’t enough. They would only trade for a blow-them-out-of-the-water offer, and that’s a good but not overwhelming deal. That package could probably get wade Davis though.

If I were the white sox I would take that deal right away. No way the nationals give up a young CF and Lopez for a mediocre reliever who would be very similar to Papelbon as they both are not great. I saw on Bleacher Report a trade proposal of Wade Davis to the Nationals for Robles, Fedde, Voth, Cole, and Glover, Honestly I think that is a fair offer. No way they get Giolito or Turner. Royals need young arms and Nats need someone to take over closer instead of The Cancer (Papelbon)

^Swap Robles for Michael Taylor, and I can swallow that trade. But really, is Cole worth anything at this point?
mookiessnarl
I refuse to give up and so on. He has a real future in MLB. I see hall of fame potential from that guy.

I think it’s cool how Josh Taylor can pitch in the Diamondbacks system and host for TribLive Radio

Pirates need to shop Melancon. Not doing so would be equivalent to not doing your job.
BoldyMinnesota
It’d be risky since they’re only 2.5 out of a playoff spot, but I agree they should. Maybe try and package cutch and melancon to Cleveland for Frazier, Aiken and Sheffield. They could try and get naquin but he’s probably untouchable now.
Priggs89
I don’t see any way that Cleveland would be interested in that deal. That’s a bunch to give up for a rental reliever and a 29 year old CF’er that’s having by far the worst year of his career. Would be a huge mistake IMO.
KermitJagger
I think the Nats match up very well with the Pirates if they are willing to deal MM to a potential playoff partner. But I don’t think they’d be sticking to their organizational plan if they don’t at least dangle him.

I wonder if the Dodgers regret voiding the deal they had for Chapman with Cincinnati?
Priggs89
I think that would be a very safe assumption.
Blue_Painted_Dreams_LA
No I would say it probably hurts a little but the nixed trade has actually turned out well health withstanding. If you were to believe the rumors of Peraza, Holmes, and schebler as pieces sent for chapman I’d say the Dodgers made out well with what they received in Thompson and who knows maybe Montas which is probably a little more likely to get flipped now. In no way is Thompson even comparable to Chapman or anyone else in the package for that matter, but all the potential backlash and unknowns make it more palatable. Plus Holmes and Montas are in play so it’d be interesting to see what moves are made.
restingmitchface
I’d be pretty surprised if they did regret it. Friedman and Co. nixed the trade because of Chapman’s off-the-field issues, so nothing has really changed.
AGAVE
I’m of the opinion that the FO wasn’t sold on AC’s emotional state; I believe they were more concerned about disrupting the dugout chemistry they intended to improve
jbkelly33
no, I don’t think so. At the time of the trade, there were too many unknowns for that prospect package imo
BlueSkyLA
A rotation with Maeda, McCarthy and Norris as the top three is more than a bit of a question mark for the Dodgers, it’s a huge question mark. The problems of an overworked bullpen are also beginning to show. Liberatore, Blanton and Jansen have all had weak to poor outings over the past week.
Blue_Painted_Dreams_LA
They do need another piece in the pen to push everyone behind Jansen back. The rotation is a huge question mark. Strip/Frias would fit well in the long man role. In three phases of the game they are one piece away which equals three pieces away which makes me think big game hunting is unrealistic.
Blue_Painted_Dreams_LA
That’s assuming Kersh is back healthy in the thick of the race before season end.
agentx
What about his 2016 performance makes it any less likely that Johnson will fold in meaningful games down the stretch if traded than he did after going to the Dodgers last year?
KermitJagger
Nats have a large list of untouchables which I can understand as a Pirates fan since we have a similarly sized list. We seem to match up well given that we can offer Melancon for a cheaper return than some of the other names would require. What would the Nats need to give up for Melancon? AJ Cole + Fedde? At this point, I think our organization has a decent pipeline of position players, just need to stockpile young arms.
jchrist
Would a package of Davis and Edinson Volquez interest the Dodgers? Both are rumored to be available.
Assuming Urias and DeLeon are untouchable, I think a package of Verdugo/Bellinger, Montas, Rahme, and a lottery ticket would be a good conversation starter.
Baseballholic
Their manager said, Toronto is “probably” more likely to pursue rotation help than additional bullpen depth. I am sure someone misunderstood something in the translation because the management signed the free agent catcher Kratz, who could be a needed guy during the next five weeks, although I agree with the manager, esp if To decides to move Sanchez into the BP.. And also, congrats to him for achieving a recent one-run win
