It appears I have a lot of middle infielders, so I'd be open to moving some.

I've talked with a few people about Xander Bogaerts, who is also available. Beyond him:

Alex Freeland: top 50 prospect, playable offensive projection, great speed, D
Will Wagner: 25, .350 OPB projection
Santiago Espinal: AV at 3 positions, FR in the corners, decent utility
Brayden Taylor: Also in the top 100, ended up with a decent projection given his lack of experience: AV/VG power, EX/AV/EX on the bases, AV at 3 infield positions

Mainly looking for a reliever and some power off the bench

Who the fuck would want Bogaerts’ corpse at this point lol

Thanks for swinging by to contribute nothing, as usual. Bogaerts has better numbers than Michael Harris right now.

My favorite two words, "right now".

You and Ty would make a nice couple.

The guy who wheels Bogey out to SS every inning now…did you catch his name? Seems like a fun job

How about Xander being worth the same fWAR as Pete Alonso and 0.3 behind Juan Soto right now? You dbags...

sick 382 slug

Be easy on Bogaerts. I was considering offering Acuna for him!

Would be your best player for like 3 years. Might want to check out of this convo, bottom dweller

Guardians still have some strong pieces available, in addition to the ageless Xander Bogaerts:

Freddie Freeman: One of MLB's top hitters
Jurickson Profar: Still hitting bombs post-suspension
Steven Kwan: Perennial All Star
Isaac Paredes: All Star on the IL. HR, low K season, per usual
Raisel Iglesias: 144 ERA+ projection, fixed himself IRL
Camilo Doval: Closer option
Jordan Romero: Closer option
Justin Wrobleski: Young lefty with good MLB #s
Tyler Rogers: GB machine, sub 2 ERA
Nick Pivetta: 3+ win season in the works, good projection

Looking to swap Doval for an equivalent closer

Some guys gone after a couple big moves. Plenty left:

Jurickson Profar: Still hitting bombs post-suspension
Steven Kwan: Perennial All Star
Isaac Paredes: All Star on the IL. HR, low K season, per usual
Camilo Doval: Closer option
Jordan Romero: Closer option
Tyler Rogers: GB machine, sub 2 ERA
Nick Pivetta: 3+ win season in the works, good projection
Tommy Edman: Plays everywhere, VG at three infield positions, VG power v lhp

Removing Wrobleski from the list, but still have plenty of this-year and future help available in the infield, outfield and rotation/bullpen. Mainly looking for packages of prospects.

Jurickson Profar: Still hitting bombs post-suspension
Nick Pivetta: 3+ win season in the works, good projection
Xander Bogaerts: 3-win season already, which is more than 3x better than MIchael Harris II
Jacob deGrom: Ageless wonder. Great for me and IRL. Would consider in the right scenario.

Removing quite a few guys off the list after some recent trades. I wouldn't mind picking up one righty reliever who can be a middle relief option. Otherwise, just getting younger, would be nice.

Last week before the deadline bump on this. Still chasing an average to above average right-handed reliever. Not looking for a closer. Also interested in prospects or young players.

Otherwise, have some interesting pieces for contenders and there are more than a dozen teams in playoff range. Let's go.

I have until probably Friday morning to make some deals before a weekend getaway. Still have a few guys on the block:

Jurickson Profar: 139 RC+ last year, 135 RC+ this year. Plays five positions, switch hitter.
Nick Pivetta: Horrible for me in the sim with a solid projection, but crushing MLB. 3.4 fWAR (good for 11th among pitchers this year).

Others available potentially. Just ask.

Bumping this on deGrom. With a horrid stretch lately, I'm willing to move him in the right deal for a contender who wants to get over the top. 130 ERA+ projection and a real life 2.79 era/3.2 fwar season over 145+ IP.

Trade block member deGrom traded. Non-trade block member Tatis also traded. Pulled Xander since he's out for the regular season (though certainly would move him).

Main pieces remaining:

Pivetta
Profar
Doval

I'm on vacation with my wife, so I'm not expecting to be very trade engaged, but feel free to send a PM or chat.
