Around Baseball 2023

8 prospects on the top 100 probably translates to what... 2 or 3 good MLB players and then a bunch of guys you need to either trade at good times or watch bust?

I think two years ago Toronto had 7 or 8 on top 100 lists.

Groshans, Kirk, Moreno, Pearson, Manoah, Martinez, Martin, SWR.

5 of those 8 are firmly in the "should have sold" category and Toronto did sell three of them. Two bad keeps (Orelvis and Pearson).
Two good keeps.
One who was traded and it won't be clear for probably 2 years whether or not that was a good decision (Moreno).


Having a cluster of good prospects is like 15% of the equation. The Orioles should have started ramping up this offseason.

I was a little spicy when they traded SWR.

It's more likely a scenario of Laika and petekim being one and the same

Geolocation puts peterkim in Alberta, and Laika in Ontario.

[wilko]

geolocation puts peterkim in alberta, and laika in ontario.

vpn?

vpn?

Seems like more trouble than its worth to do that on the off chance a mod from here would care enough to check... Not like we'd ban a good forum member for the poor judgment of irritating the rest of us, just mock them mercilessly forever.

Trade news: All-Star second baseman Luis Arraez is going to the Miami Marlins and right-hander Pablo Lopez is headed to the Minnesota Twins, sources tell ESPN. Deal is done. Players are being informed right now. More are involved.

Ummm what?

[gruber92]

Marlins got robbed. There's two prospects going the Twins way also, with one of them being highly ranked. WTF?

Infielder Jose Salas and one other prospect are heading to Minnesota along with Pablo López, source tells @TheAthletic. Salas, 19, is the Marlins’ No. 5 prospect, per @MLBPipeline. First on his inclusion: @CraigMish

OF Byron Chourio is the second prospect headed to the Twins, per source.

The Twins have to have given up something else??

[Terminator]

Lol I've been telling you all that this lady running the Marlins simply cannot get enough of these slap hitters!! Lmao she just cannot help herself.

Trade her Espinal for another one of their starting pitchers please

[The_DH]

Wow, I don't want to trade Espinal but for a top starter: OH YES.

[Terminator]

Not only is Espinal better than most of the other twelve slap hitters that they have on their roster, he's also a lot cuter which I know she really cares about as well!

Send some chocolates to her office and give her a call ASAP Ross!

Twins have themselves a damn fine rotation now.

Ryan, Mahle, Lopez, Gray, Ober? and others... *(Not in any particular order)

It's incredibly deep.

They also have Megill, Paddack (second half), Maeda, SWR, Winder, Balazovic, Ronny Henriquez, Cole Sands...

But I don't see a #1 and I don't really see a #2. Weak as fuck at the top.

They have like 6 #3 SP though.
