2024 Trade Deadline

[Mitchrapp]

He hit low a last year well. Not so much at high a this year. That ranking was going into this year. He's nowhere near top 100 anymore.

MLB prospect is outdated. Imo, it's better than what our comp pick would have been.

It's clear that Harris over valued Flaherty and then had to take whatever he could at the wire.

But not as good as he should have got.

I heard that if they gave him a qualifying offer they would get more bonus money for the draft. Not 100% sure though.

You think more money would net them a better player?

 

[tomdalton22]

MLB baseball show on MLB on XM are saying they are very surprised that the return for Flaherty was very light. Looking at what the return was for other lesser pitchers was, I think they are right. I think Harris waiting until the last minute wasn't a good idea.

 

[gotime909]

You assume he got that deal.

Kikuchi is older and not as good as Flaherty. Both on expiring deals. It's not even close. If Kikuchi brought that package, Flaherty definitely did too.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Maybe not but you got to get what you can get. Was Harris asking too much right away? Who knows we're all just guessing at this point.

Kind of depends.

Not questioning that but did Harris get that same offer for Flaherty and did he turn it down. We don't know.

It's just not a good look after how he bungled Erod last year.

My point is that every team in the league would take Flaherty over him. Getting less than Kikuchi got is a collosal fail for harris.

Houston overpaid that doesn't mean Flaherty would have gotten a better deal. There were other SP that were better than Kikuchi and gotten less.

Canha for a dude with an almost 6 career minor league era

AA stats aren't too bad this year. 21 year old (-3.6 years) and has a 1.16 WHIP. 51K in 41 innings.

Eric Silva. First he's 21, 2nd its Mark Canha. I would have taken a week old cardboard pizza for him,.​

Harris can find pitchers. He just seems clueless at trade deadlines. What a light deal.
I guess we will see in a few years.

Canha for a dude with an almost 6 career minor league era

He hasn't been bad in AA this year as a 21 year old. Getting anything for Canha is shocking

plus they save about $4M in salary

 

[Mitchrapp]

Too bad we couldn't get something/anything for McKinstry. Sell him for a buck.
