He's injured, but when he recovers do you think he plays this year?
not going to lie, I'm asking for fantasy baseball and I want to release him between the injury and the domestic violence charge not sure he plays again this year.
Anyone?
Multiple pieces I've read have said the Braves have no recourse to get out of his contract. That being said he's likely not going to play this season and I'm sure a buyout is possible.
trade Mauricio for less than a CY candidate but the player would have to be a cost-controlled difference-maker. It doesn't matter, either way, nobody is trading a non rental 1-2 SP for a top 50 prospect who is struggling in BK so it's not even worth debating.
with Cohen I think the better value will almost always be trading for non-cost controlled players approaching FA (just as they did with Lindor).
spending money > spending high end prospects
I guess my main point is Mauricio (while a very good prospect) is not currently viewed as an "elite" prospect.... he's not a Rutschman, he's not a Franco etc and he's not having a good statistical season so "high end" SP are going to cost more than guys like that. Scherzer is probably the top name moved and I doubt it's to the Mets. I no way am I dumping on Mauricio, he has big upside but teams aren't giving up high end SP for Mauricio types unless/until they are putting up numbers.
have zero doubt they add a SP. They have to. Once you hit the deadline there is no more "well they can add for someone", already talking about guys like Nick Tropeano as-is. No clue if Carrasco or Syndergaard make a single start for this team in 2021. I assume they will be looking at Kyle Gibson types.
Marlins really took a lot of criticism for their sell-off
It's very likely Mauricio is a better prospect than whoever the best prospect is that gets dealt before the deadline even if he isn't having a monster year.
RE: very few top 50 prospects get traded, especially in season

"Monster"? Have you seen his numbers?
what part of "isn't having" was unclear?
RE: very few top 50 prospects get traded, especially in season
It's very likely Mauricio is a better prospect than whoever the best prospect is that gets dealt before the deadline even if he isn't having a monster year.
And if we are talking 1-2 starter, I can guarantee a prospect more highly regarded is moved. You're not landing Shane Bieber for "less than" Ronny Mauricio Ronny Mauricio as a headliner or 2.5 seasons of Jose Berrios for "less than" Ronny Mauricio as a headliner.
don't think there is a bit of a gap between "monster" season and a statline that is pretty awful to this point? 34% K rate. He looked great this spring, to suggest his line is anything less than disappointing would be disingenuous.
that it's less likely Mauricio is a SS going forward (forget Lindor, he's 6'3-6'4 200ish pounds) he's going to have to really hit, and he very well might do that but the K/BB is troubling.
Adley Rutschman is an absolute monster. OPS up to .999, 28/28 BB/K. He'd easily be the #1 pick in this draft if he were involved. Terrible owner holds back some optimism but things are looking up in Baltimore.
is becoming a star, Means is a good #2, their farm is suddenly quite good at the top, Mancini (I assume they cash him in via trade) Hays looks like a solid 4th OF type on a good team, probably land a good prospect for Paul Fry at the deadline (maybe even from the Mets).

He's done. The facts on this one are DAMNING. I believe they said the cops found him actively choking out his wife/girlfriend. It's about as bad as it gets. I don't think he plays again this year, don't think he plays again next year, either.

#1 catching prospect in baseball, Adley Rutschman, has a .999 OPS in AA ball this year, 10 homers in just 126 ABs. 28 Ks, 28 BBs in 159 appearances for the exact 1-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Batting .294. Probably promoted to AAA soon and I wonder if they keep him there until after the Super 2 deadline next year...if we have such a thing as the CBA is getting re-worked, right?
well the Angels also have Ohtani now, they have Rendon, just overall the Nats aren't a talented team and their farm system isn't good. Hard to see how they are particularly good for a while.
Bell sucks, Harrison is turning 34, Castro is turning 32 etc etc.

is the "worst" of the 3 but also on the team most likely to give him extensive PT. Barring injury to Posey, Bart doesn't have much of a path to playing this season (and his walk rate is still a concern). Unless Smith gets hurt I can't imagine Ruiz seeing much PT either, they love using Barnes.

Not looking to go on and on about this but I personally didn't think " not having monster season" was close enough to how "poor" Mauricio's season has been for it to be accurate. He hasn't been mediocre, he's struggled. "Monster" season (to me at least) is a breakout big statistical season, I think there is a pretty substantial gap between that and what Mauricio is doing and I think it's noteworthy when discussing trade value. I have a very hard to believing teams are looking at Mauricio's stat line and thinking "he's having a good season" so I'm not judging him unfairly.
if your league is a keeper league I'm not even sure the Giants and Posey part ways after 2021 (why would they given how good he looks?). I find it hard to believe a team lets a future HOFer, team legend leave because they have Joey Bart (I fully admit I'm not as high on Bart as some). I think he'll hit for power and a low average and good defense behind the plate. I wouldn't trade Alvarez for Bart, I'd trade him for Rutschman.

Yeah, it's a keeper league and my teams is terrible between taking over a deserted team and injuries, suspensions, etc. I'm looking at next year. Trying to find good keeper options who may currently be in the minors but figure to be in the mix late this season or early next year.
I have a couple guys like CJ Abrams and Hunter Greene I'm holding on to now. - players like that.
I traded Gerrit Cole and tried to get Ke'Bryan Hayes but owner wouldn't do it. So I got a 1st and 2nd round pick instead.
looks the part of a fantasy superstar, obviously, that's dampened by the fact it's unlikely he's a SS if he remains in SD. I recently traded for Zac Veen but he's been awful. 6'4 200 pounds, yet to homer. Greene has been completely dominant so far this year. Sort of a forgotten name given how high he was drafted. My major league team was completely decimated by injuries so I unloaded a lot of my better players. Our league is somewhat convoluted in terms of the minor league rules but by currently I have

I don't disagree with your point, and I don't think Eric does either. But sometimes people don't intend things to be so literal when they say them. It's just something I've noticed. Not just about this one comment. Doesn't make you a bad dude, just maybe if you're a little more aware of it, you may not take things so literal the next time? Up to you, doesn't really bother me either way, just letting you know.

Dominguez is probably too far away from the majors for me, we can only keep players 3 years at draft round and I got Abrams in the 24th and Greene in the 23rd - I do realize Abrams is blocked by Tatis, Machado, and maybe even Cronenworth - so not sure how gets called up, but I like him as a prospect.
my major league team on paper was pretty good I thought.
Machado, Grisham, Alonso, Judge, Ozuna, Conforto, Carlson (late round), d'Arnaud (should have known the injury was imminent - and after he was injured i picked up Ramos who got hurt the next day), Happ, Hoerner, Swanson, Davis.
pitchers I had Cole, Taijuan Walker (20th round), Duffy, Diaz, Kimbrel, Sixto Sanchez (WTF happened to him?) and more - but so many injuries in the lineup and the Mets losing so many starts and me having Alonso, Conforto, Diaz, Walker, Davis, - injuries to Grisham, Ozuna (and incident) d'Arnaud, Judge is oft injured, Conforto, - and only 3 IL spots killed me.
think most people assume that Abrams will eventually move to the OF, that being said Preller is a wild man and if you told me he dealt Abrams in a blockbuster deal it wouldn't surprise me in the least.
if you are looking at a catcher as a keeper with only 3, unless it's Rutchsman, I'd pass. Alvarez is probably even too far away. But a guy like Bart or Ruiz is not even a consideration for me (different story re picking one up for value this year, or as trade bait). Catchers play too little games between injury and rest.
think if anything Rutschman is almost dinged because people remember Wieters being touted as an absolute superstar. He's the one C I'd move Alvarez for. Others could be very good but Rutschman is close to ready and special.
issue with C's is even when they aren't dinged (which is often), their days off tend to be true days off. You won't see a team say "day off for Francisco Alvarez) and then have him play 1b. So you're looking at best case about 100 games played. They are already talking up moving Harry Ford off of C in part because of this.
As Rojas went on to note, he instructed Jeff McNeil to play some outfield on his rehab assignment with High-A Brooklyn in order to be ready to move around once he returns to the big-league club. As of Tuesday, McNeil's rehab assignment has been moved to Triple-A Syracuse.
The Mets will have a bit of a log jam in the infield upon McNeil's return, and while Rojas said he will still get the bulk of the playing time at second base, guys are going to need to be able to play other positions in order for everyone to receive regular playing time. McNeil is expected to see time in left field once he is activated.

Yeesh.. look I like Villar and all as a gritty player who does the right things..but McNeil when he is right is an All Star bat. I don't like the idea of messing with his playing time.

Tyler Glasnow just went off about the midseason crackdown. He stopped using sunscreen a couple starts ago and felt sore afterwards due to difficulty with grip. Same last night. Says it contributed to his current injury. He’s hopeful to be back at the end of the season.
Substance that lets these dudes control the ball but doesn’t create the obvious recent spin rates. They could have done that prior to the season and this all would be a non issue. We will never know but their decision to deaden the ball seems to have gone too far and no they are freaking out that pitchers are “too good”.

Stanton was addition by subtraction. Devers and Jorge Guzman look interesting.
Ozuna trade was a steal for them. Alcantara and Gallen (Gallen flipped for Jazz Chisholm), as well as Castano and Sierra who are with the ML club.
Yelich trade was the only really bad one. Brinson, Diaz, and Harrison look to have contact issues, and we all know what happened to Yamamoto.
Realmuto fetched them Sanchez, who looks like an ace if he stays healthy. Will Stewart is an interesting lefty. Alfaro is a servicable catcher.
"Monster"? Have you seen his numbers?

Cal Raleigh (SEA)
Joey Bart (SF)

I think Raleigh gets called up soon, and he and Bart are having good seasons.
I like Ruiz too, but I think he's blocked by the depth chart.
who do you like the most to make the soonest MLB impact?
Trea Turner as well.
