I wasn't too far off on my estimate. According to MLB Pipeline, Hope Ryan and Smith are #'s 2, 5, and 14 in the Tigers org.
https://x.com/FabianArdaya/status/2084344370250055825 Source confirms the Dodgers will send RHP Carlos Duran to the Royals in return, as @Feinsand said.
@SleeperDodgers Detroit Tigers officials called the Dodgers on Saturday night to inform them they wanted to get the Skubal deal done, per @FabianArdaya and @katiejwoo. Tigers reached out to the Dodgers.
@Bnicklaus7 Emmet Sheehan’s stuff is down to the point he’s unrecognizable compared to the guy who had a 2.93 FIP and 23 K-BB% last year It needs to be addressed, and with Blake Snell back soon, I’d be surprised if Sheehan isn’t removed from the 26-man in some capacity (IL or Triple-A).
25 year old AAA pitcher. Been in the Dodgers system since 2018. Decent season at OKC with a 3.38 ERA, but nothing noteworthy and over the whole time he pitched in 156 minor league games... 4.17 ERA, 1.45 WHIP. Slightly better than 2:1 K's to BBs. No big loss, mayby Bubic develops into something next year, but he'll be 29 this month so IDK.
@Punchoutpitch The Rangers are looking to move off of Corey Seager, Jacob deGrom, and Nathan Eovaldi, per @Ken_Rosenthal. “President of baseball operations Chris Young might get a lifetime contract from Davis if he finds a way to move on from one or more of his highest-paid players — Corey Seager, Jacob deGrom and Nathan Eovaldi.”
@TalkinBaseball_ Bryce Harper is moving back to right field, per @ToddZolecki. Harper last played outfield for eight games in 2022 and full-time in 2021. Luis Arraez will play second base, Bryson Stott third and Alec Bohm first. hoping this ends up being subtraction by (arraez’s) addition rather than the opposite
