Ep 1188Five Trade Deadline Sellers
The Diamondbacks have started the trade deadline by dealing Josh Naylor to the Mariners. Who else will be sellers? Fred Zinkie and Jeff Erickson preview Thursday's trade deadline from a seller's perspective.---00:00 Fred Pod 7-2900:20 Welcome01:15 Seranthony Dominguez to the Jays … Felix Bautista is expected to be out for a while. I think he can be cut.09:00 Emmanuel Clase suspension. Is he a drop? Probably depends on your saves standings.13:45 Cade Smith boost is obvious but should be mentioned. And there are rumors that more CLE suspensions are on the way……15:00 Tigers - Reese Olson out for season, Parker Meadows to the IL, Chris Paddack traded to Tigers.20:00 Eugenio Suarez…..23:15 NFFC24:45 Sellers at the deadline25:45 Orioles: Ryan O’Hearn and Cedric Mullins are likely gone. Coby Mayo will get to play more. Zach Eflin, Charlie Morton, Gregory Soto gone as well.28:30 Guardians: Except Shane Bieber. Cade Smith, Hunter Gaddis? Steven Kwan?31:35 White Sox: They’ll try to move Aaron Civale and Luis Robert Jr.34:30 Royals: With Lugo signed, are they out of the selling market.36:30 Twins: Harrison Bader and Willi Castro should be traded. Maybe Joe Ryan?!42:30 Angels: I feel like they won’t sell. Agree?46:40 A’s: I don’t see much here, unless they can get someone to take Luis Severino. Jeffrey Springs is likely available for the right price.49:20 BlueWire49:30 Marlins: Will they trade Edward Cabrera and Sandy Alcantara? They’ve played well this summer. Maybe they should stand pat, try to get Weathers, Meyer and Garrett back, and compete next year?54:00 Braves: Raisel Iglesias and Marcell Ozuna are gone. Dylan Lee and Pierce Johnson to share saves?58:00 Nationals: Quietly one of baseball’s most disappointing teams. Kyle Finnegan should be gone. Josh Bell too, if anyone wants him. I think that’s it.59:45 Cardinals: Ryan Helsley is a pending FA who would do wonders for PHI or LAD. Would they trade Sonny Gray with one year remaining? I think they’re stuck with Nolan Arenado at this point.1:03:50 Pirates: Mitch Keller, David Bednar, Dennis Santana.1:05:15 D-backs: The sell-off has started. Merrill Kelly, Zac Gallen and Eugenio Suarez are all likely gone. Keep an eye on Lourdes Gurriel Jr., who will likely decline his player option.1:06:20 Rockies: I have no idea. This team stinks.1:09:40 Giants - Lost 4 in a row, but not selling.---NFFCPlay against our fantasy football experts in the RotoWire Online Championship for a shot at $250K Enter now (hyperlink: http://rotowire.com/highstakes) Get the latest fantasy sports insights, expert analysis, and premium tools at RotoWire.com—enter promo code ROTO15 at checkout to receive 15% off any product.
