2017 MLB Trade Deadline Thread

[Speedy]

I'm ready to be surprised.

Now we're talkin.

Top A's chips

Sonny Gray, I'll be sad to see him go. Bounced back from last year's injury season and is signed through next. That's a bonus in the trade market but means he doesn't have to be moved this year either.

Doolittle. Always sucks to see a vocal, long time player, face of the franchise kinda guy get traded but I'm used to it. Lefty reliever, healthy right now, with two more years of club options. Gonna get interest for sure.

Ryan Madson. Having a great season , closer experience, signed through next year. Lots of interest here too.

Jed Lowrie cant leave soon enough for me. Mostly petty reasons but he's also kinda blocking Franklin Barretto from coming up full time. A veteran 2B bat having his best year in a while shouldn't be hard to move.

Yonder Alonso, having a career year. Small market for a 1B, pretty much just the Yankees. I do not think this year is a fluke. I think he legit figured something out with his swing. Wouldn't mind if the A's extended him but can't let him walk for free agency.

Sucks that after the great ends to the 15-16 season for the Jays, we'll be seeing the team torn down.

Fans have been waiting 2 decades for playoffs, finally got it for 2 years, now might have to wait who knows how many more years for another playoff shot. With the already high ticket prices because of those 2 playoff seasons, prepare for 2018 attendance to be horrible.

In terms of the MLB roster guys, Pillar is the only hitter, and Stroman/Sanchez/Osuna are the only pitchers I'd hope are "untouchables". Anyone else can go for right price.

Yankees and Brewers made a minor trade as well. Tyler Webb headed to Milwaukee for 1B Garrett Cooper.


Report: Dodgers showing strong interest in Orioles closer Zach Britton. They've also had discussions with the Rays on multiple starters.

Interesting...is Garrett Cooper going to be the Yankees' answer at 1B (guy has mashed at AAA, albeit in Colorado Springs) or are they just stashing him for the future? I have read the Yankees may have interest in Matt Adams from Atlanta...would be interesting to see what the Braves could get for him, although I'd rather keep him unless they are knocked over.

There is a report they may call him up and give him a shot.

I was looking at this thinking the Yankees were setting up for a play on Alonso but Cooper looks ready for the bigs now. Maybe not the best option on the market but it's improvement I'd think.

Phillies are interested in Christian Yelich.
