Ken Rosenthal on Trade Deadline, Aaron Judge, Gunnar Henderson, White Sox & More

[@iROMANLEGION]

When the trade deadline ends, the White Sox will officially be a minor league club.

[@danielmulato4184]

Probably the best scenario for that team tbh

[@iROMANLEGION]

[@joelchapman872]

They already are.

They already are

[@yahcrack]

I watched one of their games a few days ago and most of their players aren’t major leaguers at all

[@michaelp6794]

I doubt they’ll do anything, but as a Yankee fan Torres needs to go. He’ll be gone after this year, but it would be nice if he was gone now.

[@pje8462]

Sox should trade Tanner Houck to the Orioles for some of their farm system. Coby Mayo would be my choice as a Sox fan.

[@camoss3724]

Oriole fan here. Interesting proposition, but I'd expect Mayo to be the Orioles' next call-up. The only question is where he's best suited in the field. If he can do a serviceable job at third, then he could be a real difference-maker down the stretch. If he becomes a liability in the field, then that's going to be problematic. The bat definitely plays, however.

[@adamletschin2509]

There is zero chance of Elias trading Mayo

[@JosePerez-d2b6p]

AJ has crippled the long term health of Padres. With Seidler gone, good luck getting anyone to purchase the team and absorb the awful contracts of Machado and Bogaerts

[@eddya.3776]

If Judge stays healthy he will be the MVP he's the best hitter in the game who by the way is playing CF. Henderson and Witt are great players but Judge is the boss.

[@upandin]

almost trade time!

[@camoss3724]

J.D. Davis couldn't stick with the woeful Oakland A's. He's not part of any "solution" with the Yankees.

[@scottmac3539]

Dbacks need to address the Suarez question.

[@mikerichardson7053]

The Yankee pitching staff seems out of gas.

[@Astonyshing]

The Red Sox still need starting pitching, particularly with Crawford and Bello starting to fade and Whitlock and Giolito out for the season. A move for Erick Fedde might be interesting, Garrett Crochet if they are prepared to give up a ton of talent (but not Mayer, Teel or Anthony). I don't expect ownership to do anything though. Hold rather than sell or buy is most likely.

[@mjhout]

Maybe Tyler Anderson for the Sox. Would love Crochet but he would be expensive. Would also love Alonso in Boston but same. Bello isn’t “starting to fade” imo, he just blows up his outings whenever something goes wrong. He expects everything to go perfect and when it doesn’t he collapses and freaks out. Needs to mature.

[@stephenconnell2689]

Would the Yankees like Paul Goldschmidt at first? Would Goldschmidt like a real chance at the World Series 🌎 What would he be worth? Clayton Beeter+ ?...

[@jamesw5353]

You're KIDDING, right? Blind numbers player #1 .300ba, 28HR, 70 RBI, 1108 OPS, .686 slugging player #2 .278ba, 24HR, 53 rbi, .973 OPS, .596 slugging. By what possible metric could player #2 be considered better than player #1 lol?!!! 🤣🤣 Just stop

[@williamwallace8535]

by the metrics that have player 2 being a better fielder and runner than player 1.

[@brandondillman5841]

Defense and baserunning matter. It's a lot closer than you think.

[@jamesw5353]

@@williamwallace8535 You'd have an actual case IF Judge wasn't a 5 tool player who plays CF lol.

[@jamesw5353]

@@brandondillman5841 Um no, it isn't. Judge is a 5 tool player who plays CF in case you never noticed.

[@vaughnjb]

​@@jamesw5353SS is a more difficult position than CF.

Yankees Catcher couldn't throw out his Grandmother!

[@SPmbp111]

obviously Judge is #1, but Gunnar/Soto/Witt are going to be a close race for 2nd. Gunnar today

Jerry Reinsdorf has entered the chat

[@Granaidh]

Love how informative and down to earth this panel is.

[@Dood-420]

Gunnar is better than Corey the comparison is not even close what just cause they are lefties ? Corey the better pure hitter but Gunnar is not a liability defensively and on base path ….. bad take

[@Josea_20]

I don’t know what is boon waiting for give the 3 B to Cabrera, he is better than DJ this year come on

[@iROMANLEGION]

To be fair, DJ was hurt for 3 months. He’s just getting finished with his ST.
