1st Round Pick & For Contenders

The #1 is now pretty assuredly #2-4 in the upcoming draft...and my team is just getting worse. Couple decent offers, but still open for conversation...and now just 3 weeks away.

Robles is back working on the field and finally got some good news last week. He's looking at a late-August/early-September return and could be a critical pick-up for a contender down the stretch/in the playoffs.

Daysbel Hernandez and Michael Tonkin will both be back sooner than later and could be very helpful for teams out of their pen. Joe Jimenez won't be back until next year, but he's a SIM closer who is available.

Tyler Freeman is tearing the cover off the ball in real life and has a very usable SIM with good versatility. He's available.

People have asked about Hunter Goodman, Landen Roupp, Clarke Schmidt, and Jo Adell. My answer is I'm not super interested in moving them, but I'd never say never. You'd just really have to blow me away.

My whole roster is pretty movable except for Gil, Volpe, Williams, and Dominguez...but, similar to the last paragraph, would have to be pretty blown away on Kayfus, Morgan, Crisantes, Liranzo & Montes.

Top part is still updated, but open to moving a couple '23's, too, as I look ahead to roster space.

Eric Bitonti - Still a premium talent and super young for his age level. If the power gets unlocked, he's an easy top 50 prospect.
Patrick Copen - One of 2025's biggest breakout pitchers. Absolutely dominated HA and off to a great start at AA...in a fantastic developmental organization (Dodgers).
Hayden Durke - One of 2025's biggest breakout relievers. All the way up to AA and doing well there. Massive stuff..
Alirio Ferrebus - International signing already promoted to full season ball. Tremendous bat is developing well...and a legit behind the plate talent.
Michael Forret - Unhittable at HA this year except when he got hurt. Massive talent should touch top 100 lists if he keeps it up.
Trevor Harrison - Top 100 guy entering the year has more than held his own as a 19 year old in full season ball.
Walker Martin - Finally, it's starting to happen. After another slow start, this premium athlete has started to truly impact the ball.
Brandon Winokur - One of the apex athletes in baseball. Still supremely inconsistent, but has shown signs of his massive ability while being young at a tough level. Inclined to keep.

I'd love to keep him, but clearly have to put Schmidt on the block after 7 no-hit ip's tonight.

106 era+ in the SIM and he's absolutely dealing to a 2.84 era and 1.06 whip in real life. You'll have to bring it, but he's pretty awesome.
