    Have the Mets offered Edwin Diaz? Or have the Mets simply fielded inquiries about Diaz?

    This trade simulator gives surplus values of $47.3 million for Edwin Diaz, $12.1 million for Michael Chavis and $13.2 million for Bobby Dalbec: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/

    FWIW, this trade simulator gives a trade of Andrew Benintendi and Ryan Brasier for Edwin Diaz and Zack Wheeler precisely $58.5 million in surplus value on each side: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/

    According to this trade simulator, Edwin Diaz and Xander Bogaerts have the same surplus value around $47 million: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ In contrast Bobby Dalbec has a surplus value of $13.2 million. In the proposed trade of Dalbec, Jason Groome, Denyi Reyes and another player for Diaz, Zack Wheeler and Dominic Smith, the trade simulator gives the former trio $18 million in surplus value and the latter trio $66.8 million in surplus value. To even out the value the other player would need to be Andrew Benintendi ($58.6 million in surplus value).

    Any thoughts on nonrental Seattle relievers Anthony Bass, with a 2019 salary of $950,000, and Hunter Strickland, with a 2019 salary of $1.3 million? https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bassan01.shtml https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/strichu01.shtml In return the Mariners would likely ask for less than your much-maligned:) Juan Then, the 19-year-old righthander whom the Yankees traded for Edwin Encarnacion. Then, whose start I will witness this evening, has a 2.81 ERA, 18 strikeouts, three walks and a .196 BAA in 16 innings despite a rough debut with the Everett AquaSox of the short-season Class A Northwest League.

    17 Trade Deadline proposals for contenders WWW.MLB.COM Astros president of baseball operations Jeff Luhnow last week outlined his Trade Deadline wish list: Catcher, starting pitcher, left-handed reliever. Really, Jeff? Is that all? How about we throw in a weekend in Maui? Meanwhile, his Dodgers counterpart, Andrew Friedman, said he intended to be aggressive as usual before adding

    According to this trade simulator, under that proposal the Red Sox would receive $66.4 million in value and the Mets $25.6 million in value: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ That's more than a tad lopsided.

    The New York Mets reportedly may package starter Zack Wheeler and closer Edwin Diaz in a trade: https://nypost.com/2019/07/27/mets-may-make-zack-wheeler-edwin-diaz-a-deadline-package/

    That proposal does not pass the smell test at this trade simulator: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/

    Instead the Red Sox signed righthander Nathan Eovaldi, with a career ERA+ of 95, to a four-year, $68 million contract. While the Trade Simulator's net value of a negative $400,000 for Hunter Strickland is surprising, that negative value pales in comparison to Eovaldi's negative value of $26.6 million. https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ BTW, in July 2009 the Red Sox traded Strickland and infielder Argenis Diaz for nine days of Adam LaRoche, who was then traded for Casey Kotchman.

    As an under-the-radar target, would the Red Sox have any interest in Seattle reliever Hunter Strickland, who remains under team control for two more seasons with a 2019 salary of only $1.3 million? Strickland, whom the Red Sox selected in the 2007 draft, posted saves this year in the Mariners' first two games, striking out three and facing the minimum six batters. However, in his third appearance the righthander recorded only one out and surrendered three runs before leaving with an oblique injury that has sidelined Strickland until his minor league rehab assignment this week: http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?player_id=519326#/career/R/pitching/2019/ALL This trade simulator lists Strickland with a negative trade value:rolleyes:: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ The 30-year-old Strickland has a career ERA+ of 134: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/strichu01.shtml

    The Oakland Athletics have acquired lefty reliever Jake Diekman from the Kansas City Royals, according to Jeff Passan: Diekman is a rental with a mutual option for 2020. The return may help define the market for relievers.

    Edwin Diaz's surplus value remains high, according to the Baseball Trade Values Trade Simulator: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/

    And Edwin Diaz had a career ERA+ of 156 at the time of the trade as opposed to Nathan Eovaldi's career ERA+ of 95.

    ZiPS, Steamer and FanGraphs Depth Chart project Nathan Eovaldi with rest-of-season ERA of 4.43, 3.38 and 3.91, as well of rest-of-season BAA of .281, .237 and .263: https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=9132&position=P Eovaldi comes with risks.

    Righthander Bryan Mata was the "SoxProspects.com Pitcher of the Month (June 2019)" https://soxprospects.com/players/mata-bryan.htm
  18. harmony
    SoxProspects writes of Bryan Mata: "Projects as a back end starter, but could end up in the bullpen where his stuff would tick up and play in a late inning relief role." https://soxprospects.com/players/mata-bryan.htm ... while MLB Prospect Watch writes of Mata: "He has the upside of a mid-rotation starter but will have to develop much more consistency to get there." http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2019/?list=bos

    That's why they'll remain in the bleachers (having fun nonetheless).

    The game may turn on the bullpens as the starters have racked up high pitch counts.

    Mitch Moreland also is owed the balance of his 2019 salary of $6.5 million. That price tag could limit his suitors.

    The Dodgers reportedly now have corner infielder Tyler White: How does Mitch Moreland compare with Tyler White? https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=3086&position=1B https://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=15564&position=1B

    The Red Sox record in one-run games -- 15-12 (.556) -- is better than their record in other games: 41-35 (.539).
