The winners and losers of the 2023 trade deadline - the Orioles dropped the ball
Join host Lindsay Crosby on an electrifying episode of "Locked On MLB Prospects," as he dissects the winners and losers of the recent MLB Trade Deadline and the ripple effects it has on the future of the game's brightest prospects. First on the podium are the Texas Rangers, emerging as clear winners with their strategic moves. Lindsay explores how the addition of playoff veteran pitcher Max Scherzer and reinforcements to their pitching staff positions them as strong contenders in the competitive AL West. On the other end of the spectrum, Lindsay examines the Baltimore Orioles' missed opportunity, leaving them as losers in this deadline. With the best record in the American League, their failure to capitalize on acquiring much-needed pitching may have consequences down the road. Next, the focus shifts to the New York Mets, crowned as winners for their shrewd maneuvering in adding four Top 100 prospects to their roster, laying the groundwork for a bright future. However, Lindsay also highlights the challenge of balancing current performance with a strategic draft position. In contrast, the New York Yankees are labeled as losers for their indecision in committing to either buying or selling during the deadline, potentially impacting their prospects for success. The Houston Astros take the spotlight as the third winner, securing a proven ace in Justin Verlander, while the Los Angeles Dodgers find themselves as losers for not addressing their pitching needs effectively. Whether you're a dedicated baseball fan keen on trade deadline dynamics or a prospect enthusiast curious about the prospects' future, this episode offers expert analysis and captivating discussions on the impact of the trade deadline moves.
