To be fair, I don’t disagree with Hos’ frustration. Perhaps that reporter is good but how is Hos supposed to respond to that question? “Yeah, I can’t wait to be traded away from one of the most exciting teams from baseball.” I mean, everyone was criticizing Joe Buck for asking Kris Bryant the same questions during the ASG - despite Bryant answering as diplomatically as possible.

Looks like a seller’s market. Marlins get five years of former elite prospect Jesus Luzardo for a rental of starling Marte.
1.4 years of Merrifield should draw a similar return, I’d think.

Yeah that's a pretty good prospect for a rental.

I do think Hos’ “face of the franchise” was a bit of a GMDM construction (remember when GMDM rose Hos’ free agent costs by saying he’d be the face of any franchise he went to AND predicted Hos was poised to hit 40 homers in 2018 ). Hos has always had this stubbornness about him, had documented beefs with other players, and has snapped/bullied the media for bad questions before. It doesn’t make him different than a lot of MLB players (a handful of the 2015 Royals hated Andy, a fantastic reporter, for instance), but those traits don’t exactly line up with the “face of the franchise” player GMDM sold him as. Anywho. Talk is he might be shipped to Texas. |

I might be this season, this season seems to have all the variables he needs to make a couple of moves. |

Etc. Will be interesting to see if that type of player acquisition price sticks or this was a one-off.

Be nice if Mondi or Junior were ready for shortstop right now, slide Nicky over and trading Whit would be easily accepted by most.

Yeah we'll see. It's funny because Jon Heyman was just tweeting a couple hours ago about how the feeling is it's a total buyers market for position players, how you'll be able to get A-list position players for B-list prospects. Then that trade came down.

All good points. I think what will make me angry is that if a couple more trades with similar returns are made before the deadline and GMDM still sits.
