Will Nootbaar and Gorman play before the trade deadline?
If so, it could help give Mo more options at the trade deadline.

Well if a team is in the playoff hunt and trading for them, it could at least signal that they are healthy.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑25 Jul 2025 09:41 amWhat will it accomplish to play them in a showcase scenario five days before the deadline. I’m sure all hat can be written about those two has been done so.

I thought about that. Or. Teams are asking about them, and they are trying to keep them healthy for a trade.Wattage wrote: ↑25 Jul 2025 09:50 amWell if a team is in the playoff hunt and trading for them, it could at least signal that they are healthy.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑25 Jul 2025 09:41 amWhat will it accomplish to play them in a showcase scenario five days before the deadline.

That's why they need to return to the lineup by early next week. Both could be legitimate trade chips. Teams are not likely to trade for possibly damaged goods.Wattage wrote: ↑25 Jul 2025 09:50 amWell if a team is in the playoff hunt and trading for them, it could at least signal that they are healthy.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑25 Jul 2025 09:41 amWhat will it accomplish to play them in a showcase scenario five days before the deadline.

If they don't play other teams can always request standard physicalsShady wrote: ↑25 Jul 2025 09:55 amThat's why they need to return to the lineup by early next week.

Better of course to see them on the field but I believe all trades are based on physicals?
We have certainly seen them voided as a result coming from one.

Last i heard, Nootbaar still wasn't swinging a bat. That was as of Monday I believe. Gorman was placed on IL earlier in the week. Not sure when it's retroactive to.
I'm not sure either get traded at the deadline now. Nootbaar might have drawn interest before this last injury situation.
