AJ Preller just traded a consensus top-5 prospect in all of baseball for a relief pitcher. hmm

That's gotta be hecka rare move to trade a guy rated that high.

Per the internet buzzing the asking price for ace relievers has been really high. My Yankees are in desperate need of bullpen help (another blown save last night) but that's a pretty steep price that I think took them out of the market. Yanks only top 50 player is also a 2027 projected SS and he's considered untouchable for trading.

Mason Miller is under control through 2029 so you have the today for SD by traded away a tomorrow. They will have three all-stars in their bullpen. Still, ballsy move that better get them into the WS from their wildcard spot. Playing it "safe" in the Dodgers division isn't going to get them anywhere so guessing that might be the philosophy here. NL playoffs should be good this year.

Guess Yanks will go with rookie Cam Schlittler and are ready to activate last years ROY, Gil. Learning to pitch kid Schlittler is probably better than Stroman, anyway, that was my thought before this and guess that's the case.

The Giants traded my Mikey to KC. Now I have to rename my SUV. But I don't have a favorite player right now. :(

But seems like he'll be ok with his new team, judging by today:
