2018 Trade Deadline

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

It's just confirmation bias based off headlines.

Red Sox gave up a fuck ton to get Chris Sale and Craig Kimbrel. Pretty sure they gave up a, at the time, MLB top 20 prospect to get Drew Pomeranz too. I believe the Cubs gave up their at the time #1 prospects in their trades for Chapman and Quintana

They definitely did.

Moncada and Kopech went for Sale I know.

Gleyber Torres and Eloy Jimenez were sent out for Chapman and Quintana respectively.

I believe Espinoza was sent out for Pomeranz.

All those guys were/are top tier prospects.

Right, Moncada was the #1 prospect in baseball before his call up. Torres is going to win ROY and has been great. Jimenez and Kopech are top 10 prospects across the MLB right now. Looked back and Espinoza was Top 20 in MLB at the time of his trade.

And Manuel Margot (Top 25) and Javy Guerra (Top 100, hard decline since) were the headliners of the Kimbrel trade.

Yankees haven't really made many splashy incoming trades recently. I guess they gave up 2 Top 100 players for Gray, neither were elite prospects though. And Rutherford in the White Sox trade

Can you give us an example of a lopsided big market trade that you’re talking about?

You mentioned it after seeing the Dodgers package for Machado, but that package is the best I’ve seen anybody offer, and I wouldn’t want the Tribe to best it.
 
Lebron the PR machine is 100% going to tweet “welcome to LA, Manny!” and im gonna throw up.
 
So what do people think are likely moves for the Tribe this deadline?

I’d love to improve the outfield and grab a relief arm or two.

Any predictions from anyone?
