Outfield Market Notes: Maybin, Reddick, Mets, Angels, Parra, Gomez

By Jeff Todd | July 27, 2015 at 9:39pm CDT

Though the Braves have fielded plenty of interest in the revived Cameron Maybin, and have considered moving him, the team now feels it “would need to be blown away with an offer” to make a deal, MLB.com’s Mark Bowman reports. Contrary to an earlier report, Bowman adds, an Atlanta source vehemently denied the suggestion that Maybin had been dangled in an earlier effort to add Angel Pagan of the Giants. Maybin, 28, has been one of the game’s best turnaround stories, with his play dramatically altering perceptions of both his contract and the deal that brought him to Atlanta (which was already widely viewed as a Braves win).

Here’s more on the still-developing outfield market, which just saw one move with Shane Victorino heading to the Angels:

  • The Athletics seem unlikely to move outfielder Josh Reddick, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle tweets. In his comments after today’s Tyler Clippard trade, GM Billy Beane said that his club is not presently working on deals involving players who are under future control.
  • Despite a trio of acquisitions already completed, the Mets are still looking at a handful of outfield options, Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com tweets. New York has, of course, just brought up top prospect Michael Conforto with Michael Cuddyer on the DL, but the team also designated John Mayberry Jr. and could use another quality option.
  • A source also tells Marc Carig of Newsday that the Mets are still shopping for outfield bats. Carig notes that the team could wait for asking prices to drop on deadline day.
  • The Angels are also still looking at left-handed hitting outfielders after adding Victorino, and Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com tweets that Jay Bruce (Reds), David Murphy (Indians), and Ben Revere (Phillies) are all still on their radar.
  • Gerardo Parra of the Brewers is also a player that the Angels are interested in, per Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (via Twitter). Heyman breaks down his market, citing the Mets and Orioles as prime suitors (along with the Halos) for the left-handed hitter. There’s also a classic mystery team involved, per the report.
  • Heyman adds that some in the Brewers organization do not believe that Carlos Gomez will end up being dealt. Milwaukee is somewhat hesitant to move an affordable, in-prime player with control remaining.
  • Be sure to check out MLBTR’s Trade Market series for all the most likely outfield trade pieces. We’ve covered both center field candidates as well as corner options.

      Or they could trade him during the off-season when 20 some teams will be looking to build for next year rather than being limited to a half dozen realistic suitors at this deadline.

        Teams are willing to pay more at the trade deadline.

    Why isn’t Ben Revere seen as desirable (or even more so) as Cameron Maybin? Both Fangraphs and Baseball Reference give Revere a higher WAR due to better defense and roughly equal offense.
    Revere can play all 3 outfield positions.
    Revere has consistent production in last 4 years, hitting over .300 in that period.
    Revere is a year younger than Maybin.
    Revere is cheaper than Maybin and has 2 years of arb control remaining. Maybin is under contract for $8M 2016 + $9M option for 2017 ($1M buyout)

    I don’t get why the Braves have to fend off teams for Maybin, but Phillies cannot seem to get a nibble on Revere.

      Maybe the asking price is simply a non starter.

      I don’t see that as happening. It’s more likely that they’d package Lagares and minor league depth for Gómez.

    not sure why anyone would believe the braves dangled maybin to get pagan, when maybin is better to begin with.
