GMs are said to be especially interested in what the Mets do, since they may have more tradeable players than anyone.
Pete Alonso, Luis Severino, Sean Manaea, J.D. Martinez, Harrison Bader, Jake Diekman, Adam Ottavino, Reed Garrett and Sean-Reid Foley should have value, and if they pay deals down, so do Starling Marte and Jose Quintana.
Jeff McNeil’s value is nil now, and that unfortunately comes when a change of scenery looks advisable. The Mariners always liked him.
What’s happening isn’t Carlos Mendoza’s fault, and his bosses know that. “Fantastic” is the assessment heard. …
Blue Jays bosses will indeed be reluctant to move Bo Bichette and Vlad Guerrero Jr. even though their chances to sign them long-term don’t seem great. …
Hard to see the Diamondbacks, who’ve gone from an October surprise to underachiever, selling. On the off chance they do, star 1B Christian Walker and closer Paul Sewald would be among trade candidates.
There’s no evidence the Diamondbacks have made an offer yet to Walker, a free agent after the year. …
Rivals don’t see the Cardinals as sellers, either. If that changes, Tommy Edman could interest the Dodgers.
Mookie Betts is great at shortstop considering, but he’s even better at 2B. …
Credit not only Jackie Bradley Jr. but also Alex Ochoa for helping turn MVP candidate Juan Soto into a good outfielder. …
Gerrit Cole felt “great” after his first rehab start.
Even without Cole, Yankees pitching is great. That said, they will seek pitching.
