Deadline Chatter: Beltre, Outfielders, Starters, Bucs/Friars, Romo

By Jeff Todd | July 30, 2018 at 7:44pm CDT

Here are the latest rumors from around the game on the eve of the non-waiver trade deadline:

  • The Red Sox and Braves have each at least held talks with the Rangers on third baseman Adrian Beltre, per Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston and Morosi. It’s not at all clear, though, that either club is going to push hard enough to get Texas to move the veteran. Indeed, talks with Atlanta may already have sputtered, MLB.com’s TR Sullivan tweets. He adds that there is some indication the Red Sox aren’t actually all that inclined to go after Beltre, so much as the future Hall of Famer likes the idea of going back to Boston, and Rob Bradford of WEEI.com hears there’s not much of a connection between the clubs (Twitter link). In addition to other hurdles, Beltre’s no-trade rights present an obstacle. ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick notes on Twitter that Beltre may not wish to go somewhere if he isn’t going to receive regular playing time. In any event, to this point, Beltre has not been presented with any possible trades to consider, Joel Sherman of the New York Post tweets.
  • When it comes to rental outfielders, there aren’t a huge number of appealing options. But there are certainly some veterans drawing interest. The Yankees and Phillies have put out feelers on Curtis Granderson of the Blue Jays, per Morosi (Twitter link). Granderson isn’t the only notable name on the Phils’ radar, as Heyman connects the organization to the Mets and Jose Bautista, via Twitter. Meanwhile, the Marlins are still dangling outfielder Cameron Maybin, per Jon Heyman of Fancred (via Twitter). Among the clubs that are at least considering him are the Indians, Yankees, and Mariners.
  • Some of the most interesting potential trade candidates, of course, won’t end up going anywhere. Indications are that some top hurlers will stay at home. It does not appear that any rivals have made a real push to force the Mets to part with righty Jacob deGrom, per Jon Heyman of Fancred (on Twitter). Despite “some late action” on Noah Syndergaard, Andy Martino of SNY.tv tweets, it still seems there’s nothing brewing there. Meanwhile, the Orioles don’t appear to have been enthused with trade offers for top pitchers Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy (or their other controllable players), Heyman indicates in a tweet.
  • The Pirates and Padres appear to have quite a lot to talk about, as Ken Rosenthal and Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic report (in a tweet) that the Pittsburgh organization has “aggressively pursued” pitching from San Diego. It’s not evident which hurler the Bucs are eyeing, though Rosenthal suggests that veteran Craig Stammen could be a sensible target. Stammen and Kirby Yates appear to be the likeliest remaining trade chips in the Padres’ pen, owing to their quality output and relatively short remaining control rights (one year and two years, respectively).
  • While the present focus is on another member of the Rays pitching staff, reliever Sergio Romo is drawing quite a lot of looks, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times (via Twitter). Romo is affordable ($2.5MM salary), battle-tested in October, and still capable of getting outs in the majors at 35 years of age. Romo’s swinging-strike rate is down to 12.6%, his lowest since 2009, but he’s carrying a 3.69 ERA through 46 1/3 innings on the season.
  • If you’re looking for more reading, check out the latest column from Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com. He runs through a variety of situations, including the Giants’ in-between position, the Twins’ struggles to market Brian Dozier, and more. Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports also has quite a bit of chatter in his latest column, some of which we’ve already highlighted on the site. Among other items of interest, Passan checks in on the Brewers’ efforts to find a starter, suggesting they are a prime suitor for Zach Wheeler of the Mets.

      Normally I would agree, but the list of available outfielders is pretty horrible, and CLE needs an OF badly. Harper to the Tribe isn’t likely, but it’s still possible.

I know it would never happen either but could you inagine making that trade and finding someone to take encarnacion and using the money from him and some of the other guys going into free agency to resign him long term? It’s Cleveland and won’t happen but man would it be great.

          Yeah but the prize here is Sheffield… Gray what, balances the money a little. Let’s be frank… if you think Gray has any actual value as a trade piece you’re an idiot… but Harper wouldn’t bring multiple top 25 type guys for a rental, especially if they’re just starting to market him now. Gray has actual negative trade value… as long as that was your thought this deal could make sense.

          Frazier’s value right now isn’t great either since he’s been stuck in AAA for way longer than he should have been and he keeps getting injured.

          Gray is rocking a 5+ ERA this year. You don’t want that ERA near any must-win game. The Yankees need to keep up with Boston bc betting your season on a one game play-in w/o a proven shutdown ace….dicey. Severino shows promise, but he still has rough outings. Who on that current staff gets you tough wins in Sept and Oct…? Happ & Lynn are a coin flip at best.

    As an Indians fan I would make this trade. Hear me out… the window is quickly closing for the Tribe and by the time Bieber and McKenzie are ready to be top of the rotation pitchers the Indians days of contention will be over.

    There will come a time when the Indians will need to trade Lindor, Ramirez, Kluber, and Bauer so that is when the Indians can regroup their losses and revive the farm system to begin contending again in 2-4 years. Put it this way… if the Indians don’t make a major improvement to their outfield they will again be a quick exit in the playoffs.

    Where has Harper indicated he would like to play in 2019? Is it just to the highest amount of salary? Or, has he picked out like 4 special teams? Anything? If there was a top 4 picked, Washington should negotiate a trade to one of those teams for all they could get. Then try to sign Harper back in the Winter.

    As a Nats fan, I am bit upset with Harper who seems to point out other problems eagerly this season when he isn’t helping the team much himself. I didn’t like his Realmuto comment recently. While true, if Harper played better, need for Realmuto wouldn’t be so urgent. Considering what he probably demands in the offseason, I am getting ready to move on and if Nationals can get major league ready talent of some sort, then please go ahead and trade him.

His production this year has been in steady decline, and while he can definitely hit for power, he’s getting killed by the defensive adjustments, which are beyond him. He is a liability in the field too, throwing to the wrong base, trying to launch a ball all the way in to the catcher, missing the cutoff man, etc.

        A more reasonable deal for Harper in 2019 would be 4@120+ with optouts. Of course, he would never take it.

    I know you’re not supposed to mess with chemistry of the stream as a horse is in the middle of the Rubicon but what say the Cubs ship off Schwarber Russell and Happ and head into the payoffs with deGrom and Harper? Nah that’s stupid.

    Boy, I’m sure glad Passan suggested Wheeler to the Brewers. I was wondering why no one (everyone) had thought of that. With original thoughts like that, I am sure his employer feels they are getting their money’s worth (minimum wage?).

    Nats please rebuild top to bottom, other than Turner,Soto and maybe Scherzer(35 years old)you’ve underachieved for years!

      Scherzer just turned 34 a couple days ago, but don’t let facts get in your way.

      And “maybe” he hasn’t underachieved? 2.68 ERA, .925 WHIP, 11.5 K/9 while with the Nats. Reigning back to back CY winner.

    What would the padres have to give up to get Hayes from the Bucs

      I think Yates, Stammen and Ross gets back Hayes plus. If not Ross, maybe a combination of Jankowski/Reyes or Renfroe in place of any of pitchers.

        Kirby Yates, Craig Stammen and Tyson Ross for:

        3B KeBryan Hayes Pirates number 2 prospect and second round pick from last year out of Rancho Bernardo High School in San Diego, Calvin Mitchell (a 19 year old outfielder Pirates #11 prospect)

        I would be very pleased with that return. I could see that offer being possible but the Padres are probably asking for far more than that so hence why we aren’t close to hearing anything is close to be official.

        That’s good, I like the Yates, Stammen, and Ross package. I’m sure they could get something good from the Pirates for that.

    Harper, Murphy and reliever/s to Dodgers for Verdugo. Nationals don’t need to re sign Harper. Eaton, Robles,Soto are a strong young talented group, add Verdugo, another top outfield prospect and their set for the next several years at a good cost too. Use that Harper money for a starter that will create a 3 headed monster rotation joining Sherzer and Strassburg.

    Braves should get Beltre if it isn’t expensive. Move Camargo to SS and send swanson down to AAA. Swanson has been terrible with the bat. He’s struck out in 26% of his ABs this year.

      Agree that while the Tribe and Yanks are the most likely fits, these two offers are really lacking.

      Indians window is closing and they need someone to put them over the top for a deep run. Yanks have a banged-up OF and who knows if Judge recovers after he comes back.

      That means something more valuable than negative-WAR guys.

      If the nationals took either of those offers Mike Rizzo would be ran out of town with pitchforks.

    MLB is reporting that the Nationals have made Harper available.

    mlb.com/nationals/news/bryce-harper-trade-rumors/c…

    IMO they waited far too long to pull the trigger. The deadline is now about 17 hours away so unless a deal was already in the works, putting one together at the last minute will not work out well.

    Bundy looks like a 5th starter. They held onto that “Top Prospect” way too long.

    I don’t think the giants are going to win the division but 0.5% to win the division and 4.5% to make the post season? People don’t seem to realize that the giants are 5.5 games back of the division and 5 back in the wild card – all it would take is a week of slumping by the guys ahead of them and they would be back in it. Like I said it probably isn’t going to happen but I don’t think 0.5% is a true number.
