What about this year’s trade deadline haul?

Baez 0-6 today and hitting about a buck fifty since joining Peoria.

I was told yesterday he has power to burn and just you wait, mister!

Mo made the deals. Are you optimistic?

Saggase- long term serviceable utility player - can’t let him get over exposed offensively or defensively.

JJW has got to be better than this, right?

He had a bad inning. Pitchers do the same thing all the time. One bad inning does not define ANY player.

Blaze Jordan for Steven Matz could turn out to be a really good deal. That was a Bloom move, too. Bloom drafted Blaze when he was in Boston and is still high on him.
Blaze Jordan is a hefty 1Bman. But, he's made a steady progression through the minors. He crushed AA pitching for 44 games this year, then was still doing great in AAA. He's hitting 0.122 in Memphis, BUT he's got 2 HRs and 12 RBIs in 12 games. It's also been 12 games.
It's worth noting he's played in 3 different STs and always hit. Albeit, those are small samples.

One of the few prospects we got that has good numbers. Also, not a Mo deal, so that makes me feel more optimistic.

Jordan may just be another Luken Baker. We shall see, I suppose.

Maybe!
But, Blaze has made it faster and performed better than Luken Baker. Blaze is 22. They are only similar because they are heavy set 1Bman. Otherwise, Baker's only strength is his HR power. Blaze isn't hitting HRs like Baker did, but he's getting more hits, doubles, striking out a LOT LESS. Blaze struggled in 2024, hitting only 0.261. To put that in perspective, Baker's minor league career average is 0.255 and he'(poop) under 0.250 5 of 7 seasons.
I'm not prognosticating Blaze to be a future star, but he's got real potential to make it.
