Seeking6 Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Closer market just got a little more interesting. Initially Cardinals said they thought Jordan Hicks wasn't serious. Few days later it trickled out it was his UCL. Just announced he'll have Tommy John surgery today. So he's out I would assume until at least July of 2020 if not all next season. Will be curious how aggressive they become. Weigh pro cons if they think they can win it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Saw on one of the Reds message boards that the Yankees was interested in Red's pitcher Louis Castillio. I guess the Yankees think that some of these smaller markets are their to be their minor league affiliate and anytime they come coming they think they can get whatever they want.

I would imagine most teams will come calling. He's having a breakout year. Under contract until 2023. Now it's up to the Reds to decide should they part with him or get max return on a player.....they've messed this scenario up so many times I'm not sure which way they'll go.

Haha. They do have a ton of prospects though. Might be the best approach. Most of the Yankees everyday players prospects are in the low minors. That's always a gamble. They do have some pictches that may be major league ready, but no one I think the Reds would be interested in. The Reds can ask for Gleyber Torres, but I think the Yankees would be nuts to do that, even on a 1-1 trade. Torres is 22 and already an all-star prospect.

rico Posted June 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Well if I was a contender looking for a SP, Bumgarner is on my list. After that I would be looking at Detroit. Boyd and Turnbull are fine young pitchers on a very, very, very bad team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 While you guys might not like trading with the Yanks, on the opposite, every time the Yanks negotiate with other teams , they all ask for multi top flight players from them. Believe me when I say they"ve been screwed before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also made a trade in 1984 to win the division, but I think they would have been better off keeping Joe Carter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sutcliffe gave us the 84 division, I think had the most wins in 87 and another division title in 89. I loved Carter but it worked out pretty well for both.

IUFLA Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Yep, Sutcliffe worked out well. Buckner for Eckersley (and another player from the Bosox if I remember correctly) was a good deal too in 84. Best trade the Cubs ever made was Ivan DeJesus for Bowa and that other guy (Sandberg). That other guy helped out a lot in 84. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
