Anyone wanna talk trades? First and foremost is your team in the position to buy, or sell? Who would you like to see go, who do you want your team to pick up? Most importantly….will Ohtani be traded before the year is up? Anyone interested? I know I am!
Ohtani will be a Dodger, guaranteed. I feel like he belongs there and I can’t help but wonder if we’ve yet to see what he’s really, really capable of. I say this because of the tradition of baseball greatness (as much as it pains me to admit) that the Dodgers have and what’s going to happen once Shohei and Koufax start working together?
Koufax???? I just happened to be at a game on July 24, 1965 and watched Ray Sadecki (he pitched for the Mets too) battle it out with Koufax who lost by the way. The star of the game was Bob Uecker who hit a bomb into the left field bleachers. Too bad I wasn't in the front row but I was there and saw it. Oh and tell Rhino it is statistically impossible that I was there because I was only 10 years old!!!!!!!

I sure could’ve used you last week…look for a topic I made on Tony Oliva while you were out riding the fences…I bet you’ll have something to say about Koufax on that one as well. I even got the year correct

The Pirates just took out a reverse mortgage on PNC Park, so I'm pretty confident Ohtani will be wearing the Black and Gold come August.

Man…what I wouldn’t give to have seen Sandy Koufax pitch a game in person! You mention Uecker…I had tuned into a Brewers game on the radio and heard his unmistakable voice calling the game…I got the impression that he must be their radio guy now and must no longer be with the Indians because the game was against the Orioles. It was funny to hear him pronounce Anthony Santander’s name as “san-tander” and you know he’s heard it properly pronounced he just didn’t give a [censored] which has always been one of the most endearing features (to me) about the good old employer or Mr Belvedere!

Hahahaha Indians? He’s been with the Brewers for years. You mean the Indians in the movie Major League? Just a bit outside lmao

My gosh you’re right. At one time a few weeks ago I think I should’ve known that haha. I tell you what it was. I watched the 1995 WS over a few nights last week and Uecker was there calling those l games on TV. I remember him having the call on Younts 3000th too. Heck I think. Lol

He's done it. That's 3000 for Robin.

The GM must’ve seen that commercial with Magnum PI on it haha
What’s the term on that paper? 700 years? Lol they’d better mortgage the entire city of Pittsburgh ha

I don't think anybody will give the Angels what they want for a 2 month rental, unless Ohtani tells that team that he will sign with them. That being said, I'm hoping my Giants feel obligated to make up for missing out twice with Judge and Correa, although I'd rather have Ohtani than either one of those 2 at this point. I don't think money will be the issue if Ohtani goes to LA over the Giants, Giants are going to do everything they can to keep him from going there.

When Harry Caray was still in St. Louis he admitted he sometimes got the players names wong on purpose. He was a firm believer of "any attention is good attention>
I don't mean that as an insult, but he was still fairly new to MLB broadcasting and probably figured getting noticed this way was faster.

Good ol Harry. Loved him. Love all of the great baseball broadcasters. Ya know with Harry it seemed like the longer the game went the less he remembered lol or do you think that had more to do with ice cold Budweiser (sounds good)

A guy has to hydrate. Wait a second. That doesn’t hydrate you.

Giants didn't miss out on Judge or Correa,
Judge was a negotiation tactic- he was never signing anywhere else.
and Correa- didn't miss out,got lucky. -

I saw today that as of the beginning of this week there were 22 teams that were only 8 games out or less…which we’ve all seen how quickly a team can rise while another can fall, it’s got me hoping that we some some interesting and strategic trades as we approach the deadline.
Here’s what the mlb site has up today regarding potential candidates for trade. Some real eyebrow raisers if you ask me.

Here's an idea for my halos. Trade Ohtani if he will not resign. Add Rendon to the package which will free up $65 million. Go heavy for, the hometown boy, Matt Chapman and an real second baseman in free agency. Put Drury at first, or second if necessary. Outfield doesn't need any changes. Moniak and Adell (finally) can replace Renfroe. Trade Renfroe for a 2B prospect. I think the rays have a spare.
Almost any team over 500 could use Ohtani and a team like the Twins, Brewers, and Marlins might go for it.

Outstanding post. Kudos to you for being willing to look at many options. When you said 2B in the free agent market the first name that came to mind was the Wong kid up in Seattle…did they ever resign him? Or does he have another year to go
Baez comes to mind

I don't see the Mariners trading for him unless they know he will sign. Similar to Castillo last year. I live up on the Olympic Peninsula and would love a chance to watch and root against him. The Ms have a great farm system, so I think the Angels would be open to several players.

Baez has 5 years left with the Tigers and he has a no trade clause, he is going nowhere. Kolton Wong is available but he is batting well below the mendoza mark at 161. With 1 home run and 15 RBI's don't see how that helps the Angels at all.
Now i know he's hurt but a guy like Gavin Lux may start to get the Angels attention. Thats the kind of player a Ohtani trade might require.
You also have to rule out the teams that Ohtani will never sign with, hate to say it but to takes out Detroit, Pittsburgh, Miami or any team not making the playoffs, also think West coast. I still say the Giants make a play for him. You know they would love to stick it to the Dodgers and they have prospects and space.
