Some are critical of “fantasy” trades where defense is considered less important. Look at this one. To add Arraez and have him move back to second from first, the Phillies are changing their 1B, 2B, 3B and RF in the process. What could go wrong?
Don Mattingly said the plan is for Bryce Harper to play RF, Alec Bohm to play 1B and Bryson Stott to be at 3B. Luis Arraez will be here Tuesday. Mattingly said the Phillies will have to “ease” Harper into right field, and it’s unclear how they will do that.

Per Pipeline, Frias is no. 11 Brewers prospect, Ragsdale is no. 13.
Alexander Frias and Josiah Ragsdale are going to St. Louis in the trade, per source.

I am unsure how rational it is, but I’d feel much worse if we traded with the Cubs. Though I probably respect the Brewers’ front office more, so worry that they are more likely to fleece us. But in Chaim I trust.
MLB lists Frias as the Brewers’ 11th prospect, Ragsdale 13th. Both OFs.
BA lists Frias as the 100th best prospect in baseball.
Insofar as an aversion to the Milwaukee Brewers, they were a team that I thoroughly detested in ’11. The only way to somewhat tolerate a team like the ’11 Brewers is to soundly trounce them in the NLCS to make certain they are “home watching the WS on TV”…
Since some outlets have the Brewers with the number 1 ranked farm system in MLB getting their number 11 and 13 prospects for a couple of mid level rentals does not seem bad to me.
Got a couple of young outfielders (one very young at 18).
You never know. You pays your money and you takes your chances.
I wonder if Bloom has another trade coming for Stanek / Nootbar / ?
Couple of hours left to get it done.b
