Aug 1 MLB trade deadline approacheth nigh…

Less than a week to go…can’t wait to see! I bet my hapless Mets are going to offload one of their aces if not two. The Orioles are a couple of trades away from being a WS caliber team so I’d sure enjoy seeing whom else they acquire. I LOVED the addition of Shintaro! Also loved to see Kike go back home to the Dodgers where he belongs…even though I can never pull for the Dodgers fully as a Met fan (still stewing over the 1988 nlcs), I DO love me a good, intelligent, and strategic baseball move. Anyone else?

No, I like boneheaded moves like trading Pedro Martinez for Delino DeShields. It would be cool if Mike Scioscia were added to the game so we could replay his homer in 88 though.

Phillies need a corner outfielder with a bat and possibly a 1B as well. Possibly will be looking for a 5th starter too

Man the trade rumors around Shohei just continue to fester.
Those rumors get clicks online, whether they have any basis in reality or not.
I keep seeing Arenado's name pop up in articles about potential trades in spite of the the fact that the Cardinals pretty much stated that they are not even considering it.

Yes I certainly couldn’t blame you for watching that replay lol. Especially since there are only 2 others from that season to choose from!
ps I love the boneheaded deals also

They’d never trade Ohtani not in a million years because they still think they have some kind of chance re-signing him. I don’t think they do but that’s only me. As far as Arenado goes…that would be a shocker but could be sweet to see him play for a chance at the WS

Syndergaard just got dealt to AL and I wish Thor a new beginning in his new league. Once ye were mighty

Angels are acquiring Lucus Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez + Ohtani has been pulled off trade waivers. Looks like the Angels are making a playoff push

I’m glad to see the Angels finally throw down the gauntlet. With Shohei officially off the table now we can hope to see the rest of baseballs contenders to wake up and make some moves.
I saw where Lance Lynn is willing to waive his no trade clause in order to play for the Dodgers. That could be interesting
-
According to a report from USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, several teams who have spoken to the Padres in recent days believe that pending free agents Blake Snell and Josh Hader will be traded.
From mlb.com
Wouldn’t that shake things up

Now, there seems to be more steam for a potential trade to send Arenado to LA. According to Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times, the Dodgers have "engaged in talks with the St. Louis Cardinals to acquire the eight-time All-Star third baseman, according to people with knowledge of the situation."

That would give the Dodgers a loaded but packed infield having just acquired Rosario and Kiki Hernandez
Dodgers infielders if that trade happens
Arenado
Rosario
Kiki Hernandez
Miguel Rojas
Max Muncy
Freddie Freeman -

And am a happy camper! It finally feels like Arte is really trying with now being over the luxury tax. Their play in Detroit has been phenomenal. Ohtani getting a complete game one hitter shutout in the first game of a double header and 2 HRs in the second. 2 errors in the 9th on Tuesday was tough to watch, but they still got the win. Add Brand Hand (his left on left numbers are crazy) and maybe another bull pen arm plus a middle infielder and they're set.

Now I want to see the halos get Snell and Hader from SD. Too expensive, I know, but stranger things have happened and if they're willing to listen to offers on Soto just a year later...

I hope they make a run, if they make it one of Toronto, Houston, Tampa or Baltimore would miss the playoffs. Personally i'm hoping it's Houston. Give a new team a chance to win

Seeing Soto’s name on the list could really make things interesting. I love that the Angels are pressing ahead and going for it…that’s what it’s all about right there baby!
That potential Dodgers team that @samguenther1987 pointed out sounds extremely competitive oh I just hope some of these moves get made I’d love to see some awesome playoff baseball I just can’t wait to see how it all plays out!

I graduated well before they were able to speak coherent sentences, but when I went to El Toro High School, we were all Angels fans. So Arenado being alright with going to the Dodgers seems weird to me. My physics teacher, Mr. Burnett did pitch for the Dodgers though.

Joe Kelly is back where he belongs! Also got some fat starting pitcher.

I use to hate Joe Kelly because he broke Ramirez's ribs in the playoffs. But when he is headhunting for your team he is awesome.
