Rays acquiring prospects Ty Johnson and Hunter Bigge along with Christopher Morel from Rays for Isaac Paredes, sources tell me and @TylerKepner

hard to see cubs trading anyone with multiple years of control.

Just because the Cubs are considering moving players from this current roster doesn’t mean they’re selling. Just as because they acquired Isaac Paredes doesn’t mean they’re buying. Modern baseball is a game about opportunity — the furthest thing from a binary. It is a fundamental tenet to understand how teams operate and what motivates them. There can be buyers and sellers, yes, but ultimately teams view themselves as value gatherers, and the only question is whether they’re gathering that value for today or down the road.
looks like tampa is doing something very tampa-y here
not betting against them but looks like they think they see something others dont. tj likes ty johnson so i assume they are high on him.

Today the #Cubs reportedly acquired 3B Isaac Paredes ($53.8M) from the #Rays in exchange for UT Christopher Morel ($22.7M) and RHPs Hunter Bigge ($0.2M) and Ty Johnson (not yet in system).
The deal is rejected by our model as an underpay by Chicago.

This is a head-scratcher for Tampa Bay. Bigge and Johnson aren't nothing, but the trade is largely a swap of Paredes and Morel, and Paredes has been a significantly better player (9.4 career fWAR compared to 2.9 for Morel).

Both are 25 years old. Morel does have one more year of team control than Paredes, and will be cheaper (Paredes is a Super 2 and will see his arbitration salaries climb in years 3 and 4). But the talent gap is too large for the salary difference to bridge.

Royals are among many teams interested in Michael Lorenzen who is available as @Joelsherman1 reported. Would fit Mets and others too.
Tampa Bay Rays receive: outfielder Matthew Etzel, right-handed pitcher Jackson Baumeister and superutilityman Mac Horvath.

I'd rather them get Eflin than either of the Detroit guys.
I'm going to see him pitch today (cool story bro.)

Edman hasn’t even played this year, wrist Injury. Oh well, he fits in nicely in LA…half their team is injured. Baseball is a rough sport…

dan will know this better than me but id imagine they wont if it burns his ability to get them the extra draft pick for winning a rookie award.
i think tb is just maximizing a deadline where there arent many sellers. good news for mets bc probably means fairbanks will be traded somewhere.

I am ok with an overpay as opposed to standing pat. Either way Cashman will get killed, but nobody wants to really make a deal this year it seems.
