The link on Andrew Miller links to a college football player, not the pitcher.

Castro is the least of the Yankees worries.

Maybe so but I wouldn’t be too thrilled with where the Yankees stand as most fans seem to be. They have a long way to go and the only prospect that really has a high ceiling is Frazier

It’s easy to sit at a computer, making assumptions and comparisons about the perceived value of a wide range of disparate assets (19 year-old prospects seen by most observers as the best prospects in the game v. one pitcher at or near the peak of his value) and then have some fun speculating about what two or three teams might do in November with those assets. That said, there is nothing in Carmendy’s blog that I find at all insightful regarding what the Red Sox or Dodgers will do this winter in pursuit of Sale. What we know, is that both teams at the trade deadline had clear incentives to overpay for Sale in order to acquire a pitcher who would clearly make a difference in their pursuit of postseason success. Neither team was willing to do so because the prosoects. mentioned in this article are simply seen as being too valuable to give up for a short-term upgrade. This winter, no matter what happens between now and October, the prospects will increase in value and Sale will not. I find the trade scenarios in this blog to be overly optimistic in the projection of a return Chicago might expect to receive. Moreover, I think there are about 25 regular posters on the site who could write and speculate with just as much credibility as Carmendy.

Why does this sound familiar? Because with every single ACE who has been on three market the last 4 years all we hear is how LA is gonna get them. Price, Hamels, Lester, Fernandez and yet the only CoAce LA had was Grienke which they got thru FA.
Frankly all LA done since reasserting themselves as a financial power is reprove that pure $$ cannot buy championships.

They’ve also managed to compete at the mlb level while compiling and keeping a very impressive collection of minor league and young mlb talent.

when u throw what 100 plus million at international signings you should be able to find some talent. . yet despite that all the advantages they have won a single postseason series. Giants have done far more with far less.

Who could have seen the diamondbacks falling short this year…oh wait, pretty much everyone outside of arizona and hot take reporters
