Baseball Prospectus It is almost always a daily publication. It is because of their own decision. We are not reporters, we do not publish news and we try not to generate controversies. We are the digital site where we take a little more time: time to digest, time to analyze, time to edit and contextualize. We are designed to accompany your coffee in the morning, your lunch time, every ritual that best fits your life: an opportunity to relax, to think carefully. We do not party with the deadline for changes.

From time to time, the world forces us to move at its pace: summaries of the World Series, Last Minute News and, in this case, 174 transfers in 24 hours. So our editor -in -chief, Craig Goldstein, stood up just at 10 o’clock in the morning from his satin sheets (it is a joke, Craig, I will tell you that you worked up to four) to express their ideas about what would undoubtedly be a small agitated deadline for a calm and careful parents of the basebal season in a fatter season. To do this, he shared this graph, based on our series “Dreams with the Deadline”, which breaks down the projected performance for the rest of the season.

At that time, AJ Prpreller had approached two positions, one of them out of necessity. Mason Miller And the infinite possibilities offered will improve the statistics of auxiliary lowers; The companion JP SearsBeing honest, will damage the value of the rotation (DRA: Hate Sears), and the competent receiver Freddy Fermín should improve that bad evaluation of the recipient, if not completely change.

We published the article because it was good because it was ready and because there were still a billion changes that would take place. And of course the parents ruined him by exchanging half of their minor Leagues system for a series of improvements that want to cover the gaps in the eternal coordination of the team, composed of stars and alternatives. This time it will undoubtedly work. (I’m not even sure if that prayer is sarcastic. Actually it can work). Now, with a single blow, Preller shook his small competitions and found solutions for the two weakest positions of the template that were not the recipient.

It’s not perfect. It would be better if O’Hearn was right, so that he and Gavin -sheets They were able to share time as a more efficient seizure and reduce the number of times that the latter had to pass in the field, especially since the new links, Laureano Gardener, does not have good numbers in a situation of alternating according to the pitch. (Moreover, it was fun in the beginning, but sheets is in the middle of a bad line, so free time would probably do well). A well -acted O’Hearn would also be better prepared to replace Luis Arráez in Primera. But because the left garden started with an understandable but disastrous rotation of Jason Heyward/Connor Joe, and that the designated seizure of the opening day Yulieski Gurriel was 41, we have advanced a lot.

In exchange, the Orioles quantity obtained. None of the prospects is particularly remarkable, at least not yet; What Mike Elias expects is that some of them will perform later. Tyson Neighbours has a very agile arm, to the point to see his own mind, in the style of the film inactive hands, only that, instead of killing people, he only wants to throw the ball well. Boston Bateman was a teenager of the type “Wait to see” with both speed and control doubts; After 15 acceptable openings in his career we are still waiting. Are attentive to Minor Leagues Updates By 2026, but for now the lack of someone who gives the face is a description that is just as accurate for this group as any other.

However, banking is still a problem; There were just enough smaller competitions players available to replace everyone. That means that Elías Díaz, who could even do the Rockies without, is the alternative receiver; José “Mal Year” Iglesias, is still ready to cover every possibility in the inner photo; The player generated by AI, Bryce JohnsonIs the defensive replacement in the gardens; And Tyler Wade It is still available to act if the alleged Tyler Wade that was assumed would be mandatory. None of these players can have his stroke average to play bowling, even if they work well with the glove, which means that sheets, or who replaces it on a certain day, is the only emerging batter that is available.

That is why Wagner, who arrives in Triple-A, despite being a big disappointment in his second year, is almost certainly the best option of the team for using use. The Blue Jays gave him a month to think about his bad start; He reached an average attacking line quite regularly. Pecota is not very impressed, so he has assigned a 95 DRC+ for the rest of the season. Moreover, a 95 DRC+ would be a major improvement, despite its defensive problems.

The Milwaukee Brewewers exchange the LZ Néstor Cortés On the San Diego Padres through the J Brandon Lockkridge.

The same day the parents were confronted with JP Sears as if it were an impulsive consumption product, one of those magazines of $ 10 about elegant restaurants that you will never do and that you would probably even enjoy if you did. Baseball expected preacher to change into Dylan stopsMaybe by accident, but he didn’t do that; Instead, he used a few millions of dollars that he had hidden on the bench since 2023, exactly for an occasion like this, and used them to cover the remaining salary of cortés, the only one of the 13 Milwaukee oppers they waved to loosen themselves. It was fairly simple; Milwaukee had already undone on 8 April, after his second opening, when he suffered a deportation in the elbow flexor.

As is Shane BieberCortés is already on their way to return to action, after he had performed four rehabilitation openings, the last three in Triple-A with the Nashville team. You only need one or two weeks before you are ready to screw out of rotation. Forget your participation in the star game; Cortés has a room with opening space, especially while working to restore control, essential for its success. The good news is that their trends to allow high tilting are much more acceptable in Petco, and the deep body of San Diego reliefs should often avoid the rival alignment for the third time in the same game.

This is not a perfect team, and without Michael King y Joe MusgroveThey do not have the same treacherous power of the templates that they spit into the face of the Dodgers when they could. But at least, thanks to the efforts and madness of Preller, they feel like slightly more than a scope, aimed at crashing against the rocks that are the first round of the play -offs.

In a sense he is inspiring. State is still there. King is still there. The sales tactics that many assumed that Preller should take over, such as the equivalent in baseball to publish checks without funds to prevent them from overcome their lean bank account, never gave itself. Instead, he exchanged the prospects that people assumed that he would never exchange, and if it concerned those who assumed he could not exchange, he simply stepped up more until he did the sale. Instead of at least being bankrupt until … he took wages. The parents did not act as a baseball team. Baseball teams are supposed to be permanent, conservative, that they are dragged by the good and bad seasons.

But these parents are not like that. They act as a dying and try to squeeze a final postponement from their withered scale. They know the money ends. They know that the building is in ruins, that the Minor Leagues system seems like a disaster. They know they have been convicted. And instead of accepting it, they run, shout, to the abyss. God bless you for it. Dignity means nothing for the dead.

The San Diego Padres designate the C Martín Maldonado For assignment.

Old friend, this can be the end. And if so, take this last thought: see you soon.
