A top 50 prospect. And I was being half serious about the warriors comp.
Yankees got more for Chapman than what the rangers for Darvish. That is wild to me.

The Padres are so boring they can't even get a decent return for Brad Hand, the one decent chip they have. Blah.
The comments in a video of this is saying he was mistranslated?

because the "ride a dominant reliever in the playoffs for multiple innings" train is at full speed right now. you haven't been paying attention if you thought darvish was getting a top 50 prospect

elite closers without a history of injury are worth more than at best number 2 starters with an injury history when renting them for 2 months?
beyond that chicago really overpaid for chapman, though it worked out well for both teams anyways.

The Braves didn't trade anybody. Huh.
Lucas Sims is making his MLB debut on Tuesday.

Apparently not.
It's only a hate boner because you are in the AL West. If the Mariners aren't winning the WS, then nobody from the AL West should.
Ain't got a problem at all with the A's, Angels and Rangers this year <3
At least the Avs have done something in my lifetime
Chapman was considered one of the best if not the best closer from 12-16 and still elite. Yanks were going to score no matter who they traded him to.
Darvish is currently not what he was.
Exactly this.

Yep, just heard it, about time.
Can't wait to see him on the bench.

Yeah, will Terry play him everyday or will he look to get the vets playing time? it's hard to believe that I actually do not know the answer to this.
Smith should be up with him as I think it would take a bit of pressure off both of them if they arrived at the same time given their familiarity.
It sounds like Cabrera, Reyes and Walker will be moving around the diamond with Rosario mainly at SS. I do look forward to seeing everyone's reaction when he gets a normal day off though lol
Smith apparently will be up shortly, just not tomorrow
It's okay, the Dodgers don't start trying till the 7th inning. He'll be out of the game by then.

Also need to see Nimmo get more playing time. Also thank god we never traded for Lucroy...

Well, yeah a normal day-off is expected and necessary but not 2-3 days a week. We'll see...
I'm just glad he's coming up. Baby steps...
I'm certainly not opposed to it but I don't think that's happening with both Granderson and Bruce on the team. Even then I've always felt they view him as a bench/4th outfielder type who can fill-in for 2 weeks if a guy gets injured but will be exposed with long-term play.
Speaking of Lucroy, the Mets definitely need to go in another direction at the catcher position for 2018.
About fucking time.

Sweet! Its time to prepare for next season and if Rosario and Smith are ready then dammit..bring 'em up! Excited to see Rosario tomorrow!!!!
Seriously. That is so true.
I think more like comments didn't like the video caption. People are relying on the translator's words for "mistranslated."
From the pieces I understand, Aoki clearly says although trade is a too bad situation he thinks he will need to do his best to play for his new team.
Always remembered him in a Brewers uniform. Speedy guy although not much power.
He's not really a HR hitter, so your analysis is not completely wrong. ISO is below MLB average.
Meh I feel like until recently all he's done is hit into double plays.

Not thrilled about trading Calhoun. Glad they weren't dumb enough to trade Buehler or Verdugo though.
On the Dodgers he's a 3 at best, after Kershaw and Wood.

Using the Chapman deal as a baseline for what to expect from trades is like using the Shelby Miller ATL->ARI trade - both were extreme overpays
Wonder if Cardinals would've gotten better offers for Lynn if Darvish hadn't been traded at last second. Will take the comp pick and bonus pool money though.

i thought this was put to rest after seeing how miller and chapman were used in the postseason. they paid a steep price, and probably more than i was comfortable with, but it wasn't some huge overpay. those super elite bullpen arms that can go multiple innings and miss bats in key games are extremely valuable, and chapman is historically dominant. they had an excellent team with the bullpen being the one clear weakness, so i don't blame theo for overpaying a little to make sure an amazing season wasn't wasted by a bad bullpen.

It's really not even that.
Last year was a sellers market, this year, those teams that have sellers assets are either in the tank or playoff teams, so it's a buyers year and thus market value is down. Seeing the returns that every team has gotten for assets and the best piece to move is a split between a guy who's had one good month with a bat in AA and a future DH who projects to be slightly above league average who was spare parts to the organization he was traded from.

Kap's only thrown 30 innings? Jeeze thought for sure he at least got more than that.
Being that he'll be 24 before he can even throw a pitch again, yeah.
Deal was Mateo and prayers.

It's 50 something innings if you count the fall league, but, yeah, that isn't much better.

I'm surprised the A's didn't get more for Gray.
I say this as somebody who knows jack about the Yankees farm system.
