M's trade for Randy Arozarena

[Captain 97]

Dude is hitting .211 with a 29%K rate. He will fit right in.

He does have a .919 OPS since June 1st with a .290 avg in that time.

Let’s do Jazz, Vlad and Rooker to round it out and I’ll pop a dozen tequila shots and call it a night.

Aidan Smith and Brody Hopkins.

Oh wtf? That's next to nothing.

Nvm... great deal lol.

Randy has been hot... OPS over .900 over June and July.

Aidan Smith is performing better than Peete, tho he's an OF not SS/3B. So maybe rethink what you know. Smith .284/.402/.470 9HR 42 RBI 28 SB over 296 ABs
Peete is at .270/.346/.377 2 HR 41 RBI 24 SB

Randy is also under control for 2.5. Next 2 Arb years set to get real expensive. Ms are spending $$ here

Yet Peete is the higher rated prospect. As long as it wasn't anyone near the top of our top 10... I don't care. Take them.

Only thing that frustrates me here...

Tampa is playing good ball and finds themselves 1 game over .500...

That tells me Randy could have been had a week ago before we got our asses kicked by 2 terrible baseball teams. Especially for that mediocre cost.

You're telling me Jerry couldn't have made this deal 7 days ago?

You'd think so, but,,,. I mean you hear about all these scouts and going to games and watching players across Rookie ball, A, A+, AA, AAA, MLB. ANd you could have 5 -6 teams offers as finals and getting the 'winning bid". The process could take as negotiations take part and players get added, injured, replaced, etc.

There's always the possibility that Arozarena has hit the wall, but as has been pointed out, he's been hot for 2 months after a horrible start so hopefully he's still a .250/20-25 HR type of player.

We'd better still be going after Guerrero and Chisholm, or something similar. We've got a starting rotation with zero holes this season and can't just bank on that. We have to take desperate measures or we're going to miss our window. I mean, the fans are actually booing this team.

I think both players have top 100 potential, but they get 2 1/2 years of a moto bat. I like it. He’ll probably suck though
