June 2021 Trades

[Twins]

Or...

I could post the last offer I received from every team that asked about any of those players, if that's the route we'd rather go.

It seems that many here believe that I could and should have done better as if these trades exist in some sort of magical Madden trade generator where I can get whatever I want if I just tweak the right pieces.

[Pirates]

Probably a good read here: https://t.co/86bTEQCiaF?amp=1

tl:dr

Height is no longer a prerequisite at 1B

Baseball Middle infielders today are among the youngest ever

Baseball C is an old man's position; youth is prized at SS and CF

Baseball Corner OFs are younger than they have been in 40+ years

[Guardians]

Tigers traded Sean Doolittle, Hunter Renfroe to Pirates for Braxton 16-Garrett, Taylor 20-Dollard, Mitchell 20-Parker

I'm disappointed there hasn't been more dramatic conversation related to this blockbuster. If we're going to tear apart a 20-year league over a trade, shouldn't it be this one?

[Phillies]

It should probably be the Votto deal

Short memories. Pavano for Chris Nelson almost LITERALLY destroyed this league. Josh Morgan is still in some dark corner somewhere telling people about it.

[Cardinals]

I bet Jake is unhappy that he has Juan Soto instead of Happ and Polanco. Same old song and dance no matter what. Might have to bump some of those reactions later.

This was a good one

Pavano was so nasty after this deal, too.

But no reactions for Trevor Rosenthal for Fernando Tatis, or Andrus, Herrera, Taylor Williams, Seranthony Dominguez, PHI1 for Yelich, Schoop, Corey Knebel, STL3.

[WhiteSox]

Always fun to remind Nils of the Tatis for Rosenthal deal!

Never forget these gems...

Yankees trades Elvis Andrus, Jesus Montero, Mets Draft Pick 2, Giants Draft Pick 1, to Braves for Austin Romine, Tanner Scheppers, Bryce 10-Harper,

Phillies traded Christian Yelich, Mike Foltynewicz, Phillies Draft Pick 3 to Yankees for Anthony Rizzo, Jaime Barria, Yankees Draft Pick 2


JB you should make the league right, trade me Yelich for Rizzo since Rizzo is so valuable. Thanks

[Cardinals]

Not a word about this trade in 2014 either:

Orioles trades Michael Pineda, Yonder Alonso, Anthony Rendon, Francisco Lindor, Masahiro Tanaka, Aaron 13-Judge, to Yankees for Robinson Cano, Zack Greinke, Rafael Soriano, Chris Davis, Brad Miller,

it's almost like it's better off being on the younger side of these trades... weird.

Hence the new rule Marlins ownership put in place last year, prospects with any kind of upside are not allowed to be dealt to the Yankees org under any circumstances.
