Good on him for continually going for it, but giving up two of your top three prospects, including the #3 prospect overall, for a closer who's never played for a contender is mighty bold.

Dude loves shoving chips to the table.  But might as well when you still have Machado and Boegarts in their early 30s, Tatis making a kings ransom, and while De Vries is really exciting, he's still only 18 and easily 3-4 years away from the majors.

Gore to Cubs smoke seems to be growing but it could just be the Nats trying to get more out of some other team.

If true, I'm a little worried about what the cost would be based on the other deals so far.  I think the Cubs have to keep one of Cassie or Alcantara in case Tucker doesn't resign.

Wonder if Cassie, Horton, and Moises is even enough.

Maybe they can work out a deal with the Bears since they are so effective at this new stadium building thing.

It's very embarrassing for a city like Chicago to have all of its professional sports teams playing in such trash cans.

Players hate having to play in Wrigley and Fenway. It's why so many free agents flock to Milwaukee.

Certainly has nothing to do with the payrolls of each of those teams.  In fact, I'm certain "home stadium" is at or near the top of all the high level free agents in baseball.

Raleigh has been in a slump, but if he gets going again, and the new guys do their jobs, that's a legit pennant contender.

Playing hard for that wildcard...

Chicago fans really get huffy when you point out the sad sack state of their stadiums. It makes you wonder if they know something...

The team the M's got Naylor and Saurez from - Arizona - won the 2023 NL pennant after getting into the playoffs as a wild card. And they lost to Texas - another wild card. Seven other wild cards also have won the World Series.

So don't be a Seattle spoilsport!

Besides, the Mariners acquired Suarez and Naylor without giving up any of their top 10 prospects, a group that ESPN says includes eight of MLB's top-100 prospects.

My god, and now the Padres going to get Laureano and O'Hearn from the Orioles.

They will now have 5 of their starting 9 players in the field who were All Stars in the last 3 seasons, plus a stronger pitching staff including 2 all start caliber closers to go the 8th and 9th assuming they don't trade Suarez after getting Miller.  If anyone can keep up with the Dodgers, they are setting themselves up to do it.

The plus is a guy not pitching this year and is a free agent, Jordan Montgomery. Wonder what else is in it.

I have Robert Suarez, who currently leads the MLB in saves, in a fantasy league which does not count holds, (saves-only).

Mason Miller has to be the new Padres closer, correct?

Cash or PTBNL. As long as that doesn't turn into Michael Conforto this is a trade for Antanasio's couch cushion change.

Twins trade everybody...except Joe Ryan who was the top trade target and the one expected to bring a king's ransom.

And that Correa deal is....something.  Paying a third of his remaining salary and getting back a thoroughly unimpressive pitcher still in rookie ball?  My god.
