I am starting this thread to discuss trades around the league OTHER than those involving the Cards since we already have one for that. Of course the main deadline is July 31, however as we have seen in the past, sometimes big name players can move in August (Verlander), so maybe this thread will have some relevance for awhile.
The noteworthy moves so far:
Herrera to Nationals
Machado to Dodgers
Chavez to Cubs
Hand to Indians
Familia to A’s
Britton to Yankees
Eovaldi to Red Sox
Andriese to Dbacks
Oh to Rockies
Maldonado to Astros
Soria to Brewers
Happ to Yankees
Venters to Braves
Hamels to CubsNice pickup for Tui. #10 prospect in the Mariners system. Now, if we can just get a high level (AAA/AA) high ceiling position prospect or two. Or three.

This would be big for the Brewers if it happens.

Things could get really crazy if the Nats decide to sell. Not to mention the names listed in this tweet but what if Harper, Murphy, Adams, Reynolds, etc… become available? It would be a feeding frenzy!
I don’t know much about Elledge, but they should have gotten the best lefty pitcher they could find instead.
A team that is really flying under the radar is the Oakland A’s. They are right on the heels of the Mariners for the second wild card spot. As unpredictable as Billy Beane is who knows what else they will do besides getting Familia. He could be on the phone with Washington to do something big.
These recent moves have shown me that not only are the Cardinals playing for the future but that the FO has not given up on the season just yet. Great trade getting a top 10 prospect for tui which opened up a spot along with other moves that opened 3 more spots allowing us to strengthen are depleted bullpen while getting a quality pitcher to make starts until Wacha, CMart, and waino. Return. I’m looking forward to the stretch run of the season. Not only for this season but what to look forward to in seasons to come.
Hope Mo isn’t through. Lots more opportunities. There seem to be certain other GMs he likes to do business with, including the Mariners. Maybe more moves with Marlins, Toronto, Atlanta, Royals, As, etc.?
25, I would guess they rely on team reporters for their rankings. They are different from team to team. On top of different eyes of evaluation, different people have different criteria. The Cardinal expert may value relievers less than the Mariner’s expert
That’s not true.
Lyuons is not necessarily gone.
He was out of options, though, so he must clear waivers before they can send him to the minors, and then he can opt to be a free agent, though I don’t know why he would do that if he has cleared waivers.Paul, Lyons doesn’t have 5 years of service time. I don’t believe he can declare himself a FA if he clears waivers and the Cards want to assign him to the minors
