I like the deal for the Rockies if Castro can be a starter, but if not, I’m really mixed on this trade from the Rockies perspective. Really like Hoffman though, and hopefully Reyes’ bat looks better at coors
dbeattie
I think it makes sense for the Rockies. Hoffman’s nice as you say and whether Castro sticks as a starter or not he could end up a top tier closer given his stuff. The other guy looks like a back end starter. They also get an above average shortstop on a shorter contract

Castro fits in the bullpen. He’s a future closer. Rockies did pretty good on this trade. The kicker to the deal is getting Reyes going so you can turn him into something.
RedRooster
This deal makes no sense in a vacuum. There are definitely more trades coming on the Rockies’ side. If they wanted to keep an expensive veteran shortstop they would have just stuck with their franchise player instead of the other guy. Plus they have Story and Rodgers brewing in the minors.

Taking Reyes’s contract was the price of business for getting those three arms, I would guess.

By their evaluation. It seems like they got robbed, though. For the best shortstop in baseball over the past several years, they got a salary dump, a top pitching prospect, and two future relievers.

According to Jeff Passan, Tulowitzki said explicitly he did not want to be traded to the Mets, so there’s that.
Ray Ray
He can want whatever he wants, but he didn’t have a no trade clause. The Rockies could have dealt him to anyone regardless of his feelings. Apparently it didn’t matter because he seems to be leaving with hard feelings anyway.
Dock_Elvis
Sure, but if your the Mets do you want a guy who explicitly doesn’t want to play for you?
kingjenrry
I hope he regrets that decision playing half his games on turf. The Mets are well positioned to contend short- and long-term and would have been able to provide a better package fairly easily.

Its amazing how a fairly high first round pick suddenly, in Keith Law’s eyes, has only mid-range starter projection.
Vandals Took The Handles
Why?
Can you show me a link to where someone has done an evaluation of how Keith Law’s evaluations have worked out?
Matt Galvin
Looks like Tigers sellers so maybe Price for Norris and so on.

Report earlier today was that theyre looking to buy. Who knows why

They now have the 5th worst record in the AL, and are 4-8 since the All Star Break. It’s time to face reality and realize your season is going nowhere, your minor league teams stink, so now would be as good of time as ever to get better in that department.

Bc illitch is 88 years old and wants a championship desperately.

Given Tulo’s injury history, I wonder how he holds up playing on turf.

Toronto’s interest in Mike Leake likely increased tonight after he threw eight shutout innings against the Cardinals and allowed just four hits. Leake has given up three runs in his last 30 innings. The guy can help a contender.

Jays only playoff hope is catching the Twins for a wild card. Astros or Angels should get the first wild card spot. The Jays either get an impact starter this week or an unlikely improvement from their so so starters is required. Jays and Orioles are mirror image teams. Donaldson = Machado, Encarnacion = Davis,
Jones = Bautista, Russell Martin = Matt Wieters , Chen = Buerhle , etc. The Orioles or Jays need to get a win streak started quickly.
BadBJay
I agree about their wild card chances at this rate. But I’d take Donaldson, Edwin, JB, Martin, and Buerhle over their Oriole counterparts as you mentioned.

Hoffman is solid but Reyes has negative value at the moment. If they can flip him for a huge haul, the trade will make sense. If not, the move will make virtually no sense because a team terrible at developing pitchers just acquired three raw pitching prospects.
Dock_Elvis
A team that has been terrible at developing pitching prospects starts acquiring those, and also has started doing well through the draft is a bad thing? This is exactly what Colorado has to do….they need top end controllable arms to pan out. The offense has a major advantage in Denver.
