As a Phillies fan, I am absolutely not trading Aiden Miller. For me, he, Painter, and Starlyn Caba are the untouchables, and maybe Crawford. Aiden Miller may be blocked right now, but as Bryce Harper ages and if they resign Bohm, Harper can DH while Bohm moves over to first and Miller would lock down the hot corner.

This is going to be one of the weirdest deadlines, I'm afraid not much will happen. Aside from there only being a few clear cut sellers, a lot of the top trade candidates have serious issues. It will be hard for teams to justify trading a lot for guys like Bo, Randy, Luzardo (hurt and off the block??) because their own teams will value them higher.

I know this isn’t the right way to think about it, but when the Phillies bought at the deadline back in late 2000s/early 2010s, virtually none of the prospects they traded away amounted to much. Just because of that (and I know we have different GM/scouting people) I don’t fall in love with prospects and I’d love a fire baller with 5 more years of control

[@rupertpupkin2660]

Hard pass on Mason Miller. Great pitcher however if I'm The Phillies I just can't justify giving away that many pieces for a reliver arm. And we all know how pitchers are... One year they're dealing then the next they have an ERA in the 5s. I would do this trade if I'm The Phillies.. White Sox Get- Justin Crawford, Johan Rojas, Mick Abel & Eduardo Tait Phillies Get- Luis Robert Jr White Sox can start Rojas in CF right away and I believe he will be a quality player given the opportunity. This way Chicago doesn't have to rush Crawford up. And as far as Mick Abel he can come up and pitch this year. Both teams win.

[@rhyde]

Fair, but Miller probably isn’t a reliever after this year. Robert would be solid for them!

Btw I really like Mason Miller and would trade 2-3 prospects for him because a Right Handed reliever in the back end of the pen is a big need and this way we don't have to put everything on Hoffman and Ryan O. But definitely not worth losing Aidan Miller & Crawford for a reliever. I would do this... Mick Abel, McGowen & Gabriel Rinccones Jr but that's about it. Crawford & Aidan Miller I wouldn't trade for Mason Miller. And I even wouldn't trade Aidan Miller for Robert.

Fair, but with the way the Blue Jays are right now and extension seeming to be in the picture, you can’t rule out a trade, no matter how much you mean to a city. My argument against that is Nomar in 04. If there was ever a player that meant the world to a city, it was Nomar in Boston. Countless other examples too of a player that meant a lot to a city getting traded. Now I can see the argument of holding onto him and see where you’re at next year, but a trade should not be ruled out.

Bo would be nice for Cleveland and the trades are fair but Cleveland needs to allocate their trade capital to starting pitching. Their only dependable #1 is Tanner Bibee. Ben Lively will regress at some point, Gavin Williams' health is a question mark, and Triston McKenzie and Logan Allen have been the two worst starters in the league this season.

[@matthewdillon1525]

I could see Lane Thomas and Nick Senzel being moved at the deadline. The Nat’s aren’t there yet and embracing a youth movement with that I could see Lane Thomas going to Seattle he’d provide a huge upside over Luke Raley and Dom Canzone and be a good boost for a team that wants to hold out the Rangers and Astros. I can see Senzel who’s primarily played 3rd for them heading north as a good panic option for the Yankees as I love DJ but hasn’t been great at least he’s Senzel has a bit more youth and could be at best the 3rd baseman they need for a stretch run at worst could be a great utility for the Yankees considering they’re health woes. As for the Nat’s I could see pitching epically on the mariners side of it being their primary benefits form this.

I think its a lot to give up for a potential closer who very likely will have TJ surgery in his future. I'm more than willing to consider Aiden Miller for Roberts though, which tells you the value difference I see here. It's just a position that is so much based on the mental state of the player, and Miller is going to be thrown onto the biggest stage in his first season in the league. I think it's a lot to expect from him right out of the gate. I also do not think it's enough for the A's to make the move. I don't see Mason Miller going anywhere unless it's multiple top 20 prospects coming back.

Has the opt out so a little more tricky but if he does doesn't create the logjam in OF next year when Ronald is back.

[@rhyde]

Thanks Kennedy! The years of control could definitely come into play there. More so I focused on the Braves ability to get guys going again. Like you said though, more likely a rental happens. However, I wonder if you could do a situation where you can have both Kelenic and Arozerana. Kelenic isn’t as impactful against LHP (83 wRC+) while Randy could help there (108 wRC+)

[@kennedymathis22]

@@rhyde man Randy in Atlanta would be just what they need with his playoff pedigree this year. I also think if they wanted they could flip him or Kelenic in off season if they needed. Platooning them is certainly in the cards. Kelenic since Ronald down has held his own but hard to rely on that. For 2024 I think they would opt for a lefty to platoon with Duvall because he's so bad against RHP. But if you get Randy can platoon Duvall/Kelenic and let Randy play everyday.
