Trading Shields for Tatis may be the biggest blessing the padres have since Tony Gwyn
Tatis is face of MLB tbh
@@xeox5211 He should be over Trout tbh. He’s has more potential for marketing, plus he is hella talented.
Facts and don't forget the hoff
@@swavyyjavi4455 yep, 17 errors is hella talented
@@emestoosicks he has 27 home runs. He’s also 22. Give him until he’s 25 and he will be an elite defender
Chris Archer for Tyler Glasnow, Austin Meadows, and Shane Baz
Alot of team control left for the rays. This can only get worse for the pirates
I still have no idea what they were thinking I mean meadows and Glasgow were struggling in pit at the time but too give up on them so soon
This
Shane Cortez pirates gave Glasnow every opportunity to be good and didn’t succeed
@@RyanPlatt24 The Pirates refuse to accept that their pitching staff is garbage and is ruining almost every pitcher they have had over the last 5 years. It's no coincidence that a lot of former Pirate pitchers have dominated whenever they leave. Pirates even gave up on Kingham and he is exceeding now. Pirates need a cleansing.
Yordan Alvarez was given to the Astros by the Dodgers for Josh Fields
Ya how is that not in this video
Josh Fields gets lit up in game 2 of the World Series lol
@Vandan Patel Alvarez wasn’t good yet when this video was made
Mets Fan no he was pretty good when this video was made.
I hate you
Padres trade Fernando Rodney to the Marlins for Chris Paddack.
Such a good trade for the pads
@@jarradmccarthy9033 Yeah, they got a talented young pitcher who has ace and superstar potential, on the other hand, Rodney bombed out for the Marlins after pitching like he did in 2012 for San Diego.
The Marlin's pitching isn't awful. Caleb Smith is great. If they kept paddock... Damn. Not bad. I wouldn't say as bad as trading Josh Beckett, Dontrelle Willis, Andrew Miller, Gary Sheffield, Kevin Brown, Al Leiter, Miguel Cabera, and Mike Lowell. I probably forgot a few, but the Marlin's are known for that, actually worse then the As and my Royals.
Yeah it's bad but at the time Paddack was a no ranked player in the minors with 1 good minor league season in low A and A.
At the time Rodney was one of the best relievers in baseball. Then he blew up with us making him setup. Paddack had TJ so it looked moot but he has come back very strong.
Worse than this trade his Luis Castillo for Dan Straily. Why?! The pads gifted him back to us after Colin Rea got hurt. Ugh.
@@LudaChez Paddack, Castillo, and Sixto Sanchez(for Realmuto), Alcantara (for Ozuna)...hmm..2020's Fish pitching would be interesting
Tyler Skaggs made the video in an Anthony rizzo highlight. Rest In Peace Tyler 🙏
Thanks for the Marc I’m a huge fan!
8:10
Browns Fan a true angel😥🙏
That's honestly kinda disrespectful
david laverty how?
@@BRGAMING23 because the dude just died and he showed Rizzo hitting a tank off of him
Imagine Bartolo never hit his homerun
The world could not continue without that
The universe wouldn’t be here
Baseball wouldn’t be a sport
I am *literally shaking*
@@stephenmason9527 Same
Getting Kluber for those peanuts 👏🏻
Losing Kluber for those peanuts 😭
fuzzy
I was actually a good trade cause kluber pitches 1 inning in 2020 lol
hey fuz
This went so un noticed this should get more hype
Marlins giving up Luis Castillo for Dan Straily and giving up Chris Paddack for Fernando Rodney
Lucas Congdon really everything the marlins have done recently. They could have had Castillo and paddack, as well as yelich, Stanton, ozuna, realmuto, and more. If the marlins didn’t blow up their team, they’d be a top team in the nl right now.
@@FizzyCape, Castillo was a Padre at one point
@@OldTown1520 he was a Giant at one point.
To be clear, is this Luis Castillo the pitcher or the second baseman?
@@douglasrau5094 the pitcher not the dropped the ball guy
As an A's fan, that Cespedes for Lester trade hurt my soul. We were the best team in baseball for a couple months at that point and it completely destroyed our momentum and ultimately cost us real playoff aspirations. Lester went to the Cubs the next year and we were left with a sour taste
can you do mlb stadium tier list
AlessiPlayz yes pls
Yes
AlessiPlayz yes
Yes
He did you fools
I got ideas for you:
1. 10 players that fell of after being traded or free agency (Matt Harvey for example)
2. 10 teams that fell off after a World Series appearance (royals for example)
Matt Harvey was trash before he got traded.
How about every Braves trade ever? It seems like they always fall out
“triggers Mets fans”
Pujols #1
Every Mets trade try the Diaz cano trade for example
Honorable mention. Marlins trade Paddack for a 39 y/o Fernando Rodney
No one:
Not a single soul:
Marc: If you like baseball this is the place to be.
No one ever:
Marc: VeRlAnDeR iS A fInE wInE
No one:
Marc: former University of South Carolina gamecock like me
I mean he’s not wrong😂
Regarding the Josh Donaldson trade, if we weren’t to trade him, what might of happen to the A’s current 3B Matt Chapman, he is young and has very very very good talent, sure it’s a lost but there is sacrifices to be made in order to become better at the game
He wasn’t talking about the player they currently have. Chapman is a good player, I agree, but the players they got back for him were average at best. So just looking at the trade and not the current roster, that was a pretty awful trade
Jared Carrizosa Chapman wasn’t even on the radar at that point
Lincoln Vander Molen don’t be salty A’s fan
It’s not about not trading him. It’s about the hall
man, if only 99% of baseball didn't only play 1 position..... oh wait
At 10:30 it says on the Jumbotron “fun fact: acquired from white Sox with Erik Johnson for James sheilds”
Theo Jones Shields*
Astros get: Mike Fiers Carlos Gomez
Brewers get: Josh Hader Domingo Santana Brett Phillips (who we pretty much got for moustakas straight up) and Adrain Houser
They really thought Carlos Gomez was their missing piece at the time.... smh...
Leo G ik smh
This trade is why Lunhow refuses to trade the team’s top prospects.
GiraffeNeckMarc is the best and could you post the worst trade part 2
Check out my RUclips channel
Michael Sprague the quality of your videos is literally dog
Jomboy
You should do the Johnny Cuetto trade from the Reds to the royals
You should do the best possible lineup from each division (AL East, NL West, etc.) Please like!
RossTheBoss that would be awesome. Great idea!
RossTheBoss nl west would just be the dodgers starting lineup
LeBron James agreed
LeBron James lol
He would hate on the Braves again lol.
Having been one of the Rangers' top players, Gold Glove winner, and a three-time All-Star, Ian Kinsler was unexpectedly traded to the Detroit Tigers in 2013 for Prince Fielder. In Fielder's first season with the Rangers, he only played in a number of games before suffering a season-ending injury. He would rebound well in 2015 before regressing drastically and retiring in mid-2O16. To this day, the Rangers are still paying him dead money. Ian Kinsler went on to be incredibly productive for the Tigers, hitting for at least 22 home runs in two of his four years with the team and 52 RBI in all of them. This is without a doubt one of the worst trades in a long time.
It's honestly so painful being a Padres fan. We get screwed so many times, I've darn near lost count. Trea Turner going to the Nationals is another sore spot for me as well. But thankfully we got a gold mine in Tatis Jr. If he wasn't on our team right now, I don't think there would be nearly as much buzz about the Padres going into this season (whenever this darn COVID-19 quarantine will end) as there is.
Jose Bautista trade when he was on the the Pirates.
Austin Meadows, and Tyler Glasnow for Chris Archer.
d_e_v_i_ n urinating tree would be mad at you
Lucas Congdon ik sorry I brought it up
d_e_v_i_ n it’s ok
And Shane Baz
The Bautista trade was in 08'
As a Padres fan I approve of the thumbnail 😆
Me too
Do you like machado
Machado is a monster, but tatis is otherworldly
Captain Crunch, yes I do. Tatis is my favorite player though 😉
As a white Sox fan this makes me sad☹️
You should do part two, having the Dodgers trading Yordon Alveraz for Josh Fields for the Astros. True on those 8, and God Bless Ya!
The Cubs acquired Chapman from the Yankees in exchange for four players: pitcher Adam Warren and prospects Gleyber Torres, Billy McKinney and Rashad Crawford
Yes the Cubs Won the World Series but, in the Off-season Chapman Resigned with the Yankees
The Yankees Basically gave up Chapman for half a season for him to get a ring and got 4 players one of which (Gleyber Torres) is their starting SS and then Signed Chapman in the Off-season
Lol yep. The Yankees let the Cubs rent Chapman for the postseason in exchange for arguably the best young SS in baseball.
The Cubs got a critical piece to ending the largest active championship drought across the major American sports. It is insane to me that you would consider it one of the worst trades for them. You won't find a single Cubs' fan who regrets the team making that trade, regardless of the hefty price.
@@remediedyawn yeah I see that but, they still gave up all those pieces and yes they got a ring but, Chapman went back to the Yankees in the offseason.
So the Cubs got a ring but look at the future of the Yankees with Chapman and Torres and all the other pieces they got
@@thebrettman Oh yea, I think we can all agree that the Yankees basically got Torres for nothing. The Cubs history is what required them to make such a drastic move, but it paid off for them. I would say both parties were successful in this trade for very different reasons.
You can honestly do an entire video about how many great players the Marlins have traded/let go in the last 6yrs. 😩😩
That’s legitimately depressing
Really
I think he is, it’s just taking longer then 6 years to list them all
What about the Reds getting Eugenio Suárez for Alfredo Simon, who turned around and resigned with the Reds the next season anyway? 😂
The only reason that the Detroit Cocker Spaniels aren't risking a 120-loss season this year is COVID-19 shutting down what was sure to be a dreadful season for basically a AA minor-league team playing in the majors.
Getting a washed-up pitcher for a role in return for an All Star... that is the classic bad trade. .
The Tigers have dealt away lots of first-rate players for practically nothing except, I supposed, to pare their salaries.
@@paulbrower4265 ... indeed this trade explains a big part of the Tigers going from a perennial contender to the sewer. They are likely out of it with a mediocre 77-85 season with some very young players with futures. I was about to correct my assessment of the Tigers of 2020, but they were in a weak division and didn't play strong teams in the AL East and AL West where they would have been slaughtered.
You could also add another Padres disaster when we gave up Trea Turner for Wil Myers in a multiple team trade. Thank goodness we got Tatis Jr. because other than that, our ownership and management has been horrendous in trades.
What about Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease for Quintana LOL
Justin Budach it’s way too soon for that
eloy is hitting like .275 right? last time i checked it was .240 but i know he’s been hot, so the cubs havent had a reason to miss him yet, and the sox..well, he might not even be on the sox by the time theyre relevamt
Justin Budach yeah Jimenez and cease need to show more and Quintana has been decent for the cubs this year.
Andy Tihonow your joking right
Jo Be not really. Eloy is hitting .244, Sox fans used to kill Schwarber over that, despite his Home Run numbers. Also, Cease hasn’t even played enough games to judge him based on “sample size” yet. I’m sure the Sox like the trade, but atm, we don’t regret it that much
Imagine a world where the Padres kept Rizzo, Kluber and Trea Turner
Also Bartolo Colon broke James Shields
Finally, finally a video where I am not reminded of how bad the Pirates front office is
That is so true we are probably the cheapest team in baseball
Yordan Álvarez for Josh Fields. It’s early but I think the dodgers screwed up
Alex Scofield they may have. But Alvarez does so much better on an AL team because his fielding is weak. Hope he gets better at it though.
This aged like fine wine
Loved the video but what about the Chris Paddack for Fernando Rodney deal
I came to the comments to post this. The Padres picked up Rodney off the scrap heap and then flipped him for the best rookie pitcher of 2019.
Can you do a video where you say one player a buyer team should target and a seller should deal?
whats up apple fanboy 😂
Havent watched yet but dodgers traded Yordan Alvarez for Josh Fields and i think about it every day
In all fairness Josh fields wasn't that bad besides game 2
Thank god he isn’t on the dodgers
Trump Supporter but have you watched Yordan Alvarez play?
I love the Christian Yelich one. Never say a trade is bad a year after it happened. He hasn't had a season even close to that 2018 run sense and now the Brewers are far from competing
Haven’t the brewers been in the playoff race every single year since he trade?
Give it a few years, but you’ll be adding these to your list:
Jose Quintana to the Cubs for Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease.
Adam Eaton to the Nats for Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, and Dane Dunning.
Kevin Lindgren Sox fan?
Big Dawg guarantee it lol 😂 Just wait for Q to get back
Giolito was great this season and looks to be getting better. He needed change of scenery.
Or are you saying the Nats messed up?
LudaChez that’s exactly what I’m saying. Eaton’s been injured virtually every season and hasn’t produced quite like you’d hope especially from a corner outfielder. Still not sure what we’ll get out of Lopez, but Giolito’s turned the corner and look out for Dane Dunning once he recovers from TJ.
@@kevinlindgren95 ok I misread it because I have seen people say the Sox lost that one...but Giolito looked great this year. Eaton is going to the WS and had a decent post season....but they definitely got him to play every day and get on base.
Arizona traded Max Scherzer for Ian Kennedy and Edwin Jackson 😣
Julius Ulit Sucks to be a Diamondbacks fan
How did the Tigers get Scherzer in that situation?
@@Drogon7102 The Tigers gave up Curtis Granderson, then a multi-tool player. Edwin Jackson had been a good pitcher. The Tigers did get Austin Jackson, practically a wash for Granderson. Max Scherzer? Strikeouts prevail in MLB...
Hahaha
@@paulbrower4265 AJax while not as great as Grandy was still very solid
That James Shields trade doesn’t hurt me as a Sox fan as much when you look at our farm system now, but still... it haunts me.
I think about how good our system is right now + Tatis jr
Lil Boligrafo it def hurts whitesox. The most promising ss prospect they have just signed out of Cuba. He is said to be a slap hitter with good defense and speed. Having tatis and Tim Anderson would be a better situation.
Us Padres fans love tatis and are taking good care of him
Any time I think about the Tatis trade, I try to think about the Eaton, Quintana, and Sale trades and then I calm down.
Part 2 would be sweet. Definitely one of my favorite videos you’ve done
Idk if this counts but what about the Mariners trading Matt Thornton to the White Sox for Joe Borchard in 2006? Borchard didn't do great in Seattle while Thornton turned into one of the best relievers the white sox ever had and leading them into the playoffs in 2008 as well as making an all star appearance 2010 Thornton in his 8 years with the sox had a 3.28 era. Yes he had a 31-35 record over those 8 years but he was a solid reliever
I forgot the W Sox had Tatis imagine if they still had him with all of there other young talent, Jesus
We already have a shortstop
@@nickk6501 True, I still think you’d rather have Tatis but to each their own
@@ryankelly1826 I'll keep Tim Anderson. He's fantastic.
also eugenio suarez from the tigers to the reds
luis castillo from the MARLINS to the reds as well
i thought the napoli + juan rivera trade for vernon wells was gonna be in here for sure. that’s easily one of the worst trades ever. mostly cause i’m an angels fan and i loved napoli.
Could almost do a whole vid on Padres trades...they've fleeced teams & been fleeced. Thought the Fernando Rodney for Chris Paddack deal could have been included.
You know you’re a bum when you’re highlight is you working out💀😂
The Robinson Cano/Edwin Diaz Trade to the Mets from The MAriners..This Trade has been a TRAIN WRECK
I remember seeing Dansby play live in single A here for my local team. He was insane and was gone in a couple weeks to play higher up in the D Backs orginization. Idk how the D Backs didn’t see that he would be a star
Its a stretch to include the Yelich trade. First of all- yes the Marlins "lost" MVP caliber production, but it would make little sense to keep him around a losing Marlins squad. If Yelich had that year in Miami- it would have been all for naught.
Also- a few of the key pieces have yet to come up and/or put together a solid body of work to judge the trade on. Yamamoto and Diaz are just getting started at the MLB level and have both shown a ton of potential. And Monte Harrison has yet to arrive as you said. The jury is so out on this one.
Yeah man no one saw Yelich doing what he has done. Brinson could still work out (won't be a super star or anything) but Harrison could be good he has improved much in our system. Yamm and Isan look to be future building blocks. Isan was bad in MLB but hopefully he grows up. Same with all of them
When the trade first happened Brewers fans were SO MAD. Hindsight is a funny thing
There’s also the Chris Archer trade the Bartolo trade to the Expos and Gleyber to the Yankees because the Yankees ended up getting back Chapman
Quinn Jackus but it wasnt a bad trade because the Cubs won the world series. Who cares what you trade away if you can win a world series?
Yeah the Marlins did the exact same thing they traded Adrian Gonzalez for Ugeth Urbina and then won the WS with him. It worked out. The Cubs make that trade again in a heartbeat
Is it just me, or does Anthony Rizzo look suspiciously like Mike Trout?
YES
Top notch content man. Oh the Padres...
I noticed that all of the entries trades involved small market teams. Maybe these smaller market teams were handcuffed by a thier lower salary cap and had to make the best of a tough reality.
For example Oakland, there was no way they could pay Donaldson what he was worth, they had to trade him... it's just tough for me to think that oaktown got sonl little value for him!! That trade with Toronto was the best offer on the table???? And the same goes for the Rizzo trade.
Anyway, nice video.
Gotta remember Marlins and A’s are small market teams and cant keep superstars
8:09 why show Rizzo hit a homer off of Tyler Skaggs???????????
R.I.P. Tyler Skaggs
I Hit Dingerz no disrespect to Tyler Skaggs but a highlight is a highlight
TheGodlyBeast agreed
Tatis best trade ever!! Padres, we are enjoying it. Gives us something to look forward to :)
What’s sad is Tatis’ season is over. As a Mets fan. I had him ahead of Pete. Now that Pete is out of his slump and Tatis injured. It’s Pete Alonso in the driver seat of the ROTY
Great video as always! Keep em coming!
Cubs trading Eloy Jimenez and Dylan Cease for Jose Quintana
😲🤭.
Quintana was pretty good for the cubs
@@letsgosteelerssssssss No he wasn't lol
If Eloy can stay healthy then yeah bad bad trade, big if though!
Who's here after Arenado and $50mil to the cardinals?
Who is here after Arenado has been disappointing and leading the Cardinals to mediocrity. As much as I want him to succeed the trade has done nothing to move the needle. Just as trading for Ozuna and Goldy has done nothing. Paying premium for downturned statistics isn't success.
I'll tell you an even more lopsided trade, Ozuna for Alcantara and Gallen.
As a White Sox fan I was there for all of James Shields seasons, I remember going to games and friends of mine were shocked James Shields was still playing
Mark Melancon to the Nats for Felipe Rivero and Taylor Hearn
Melancon was a top arm at the time and the Nats needed bullpen help, as usual. But he was just okay during his 2.5 month time with the Nats and bolted for San Fran
Hearn has done nothing at all. But Rivero has been one of the best relievers in the game since the trade. The Nats could really use him rn
Please predict the winners of the next 10 World Series
How? We haven’t even seen the draft picks for the next ten years or any of the trades that will occur
Bro chill
Matt Harvey is the opposite of a normal Mets player he was a good player on the Mets and now he’s horrible on a different team (the Angels)
He was awesome with the Reds
If there were a part 2, 3, 4 and so on...I would love to see a best and worst trades by the decade!
As a long time Baseball fan- it's freaking awesome to see people jacked up about the greatest game ever invented!! Love Tatis, one of the next generations SUPERStars!! D'backs could also be considered one of the worst evaluator's of talent in the history of of MLB as they also gave away Max Scherzer and Trevor Bauer before they won Cy Youngs!
Please don’t hate on my boi Chris Archer
He is gonna prove u wrong Marc
Thank u
When Archer was with the Rays, he was good but he isn’t going to be the same with the Pirates
Archer is done for. Shit attitude and everything. He will be released by the next ASB
you showed Anthony Rizzo hitting a hr of Tyler skaggs?? rip
So it's still a hr
So, it’s not disrespectful?
He shouldn't have gave up that HR🤷🏽♂️
@@BRGAMING23 not one bit that clip is there forever why not use it
Random Commenter Ik I think the kid believes it’s disrespectful
Tatis jr was such a stupid move by the white sox but im a padtes fan and am glad asf it happened
I remember that Arrieta Strop trade. It was a typical Orioles move lol. I will give them the benefit of the doubt because when Arrieta was an Oriole he wasn’t that effective and Strop to. The issue was getting Feldman and Clevenger. But I did love the move that gave the Orioles Adam Jones, Chris Tillman, George Sherrill for Erik Bedard.
Imagine the Padres if they didn’t trade everyone
Shark and marlins...
Oliver Wolff ya and if Jose didn’t die
I think of this all the time
Shark marlins would be even better with Jose Fernandez, Luis Castillo, Chris paddack, Stanton, yelich, ozuna, and realmuto
Padres made up with two bad trades by getting the biggest steal ever
is he though? i mean, we're halfway through his rookie year..... ya'll gave up a 2 time cy young winner and anthony rizzo when they were both relatively young guys..... i'm not saying Tatis won't be great, but lets not call him the biggest steal ever halfway through his rookie year, especially when you look at the success Kluber and Rizzo had, and thats just one team
Mike Willis they got him for JAMES SHIELDS
Man, you brought back some not so good memories on that Josh Donaldson trade...
The wierdest thing about the Swanson, Miller trade is that every fan of the DBacks knew it was a bad trade immediately, I have no idea what our front office was thinking
The Astros trade with Dodgers- Yordan Alvarez, a beast rookie
The Astros trade with Tigers-
Justin Verlander, the leader that helped Astros win the 2017 world series
nah the trash cans helped them
You can add Josh Feilds for Yordan Alvarez to the basket 😤
It might be a little early but the worst trade ever is Dodgers receive Josh fields and the Astros receive 2 home runs in World Series off of him and Yordan Alvarez
Ik this trade worked for both teams but the moncada for sale trade sale is injured now and moncada is finally living up to the hype
eloy jimenez and dylan cease for jose quintana. go sox
Not close to worst trades of all time. Quintana has been decent until late this season
bmilll5269
It was a bad trade but definitely not one of the worst because eloy is unproven and Quintana has been okay with spots of greatness, really consistent.
Also the cubs were desperate for another starter
eloy is unproven cause he hasn’t even played a full season
Dodgers trade Yordan Alvarez for Josh Fields...
Love to come home and always have a good vid by marc
As a Marlins and Cubs fan the differences in the two organizations the last 10 years has been painful to watch.
who here after rockies got scammed for arenado
Also I’m amazed that the Mets trading a slew of players to the Mariners including Jarred Kelenic and Justin Dunn for Robinson Cano and Edwin Diaz didn’t make the cut. Yes it’s early, but that trade looks worse and worse everyday and might go down as one of the worst trades in Mets franchise history.
Can you imagine the white Sox lineup + Tatis I don’t even know where they would put him it would’ve been so stacked
That Yoenis Cespedes trade at the ‘14 deadline was still one of the worst of all time imo. Trade your 4 hitter who’s presence in the lineup gave protection to Moss batting fifth and Donaldson batting third. Along with the fact that you had already traded for pitching in Samardijza and Hamels. And Cespy was a favorite in the clubhouse and by the fans. For a rental in John Lester who didn’t do great in Oakland and couldn’t hold anything in the wild card game whether it be a lead or runners. Went from the best record in baseball at the break with him on the team to barely getting the 2nd wildcard after a terrible 2nd half collapse without him barely 88 wins.
Dbacks trading Max Scherzer to Detroit in a 3 team trade should be a dishonorable mention. Got back Edwin Jackson and Ian Kennedy, but it's Max freaking Scherzer.
Kennedy popped off for like 2 yrs tho
@Jasonfire34 He was not Max freaking Scherzer then was he? He was just one of several 1st rounders who was doing good (3.86 ERA, 1.317 WHIP and a 9.5 K per inning) but not anything great.
I would say if Max never gets traded to Detroit he never becomes Max "freaking" Scherzer.
@@claytoncourtney1309 he definitely wasn't great yet, but lots of trades don't look that lopsided at the beginning. Otherwise they wouldn't get done.
I would love to see a part 2 to this
You gotta do another one of these bro. We need that
If I was an O’s fan having to live with knowing Arrieta was that good after parting with him... It would keep me up at night
In 5 seasons with the Marlins, Yelich was an oft-injured, .290ish hitter who never hit more than 21 HRs. His trade was strictly a salary dump. It would be nice to add some context to these trades.
Padres GM Jed Hoyer originally traded for Rizzo from the Red Sox and then Hoyer traded again for him as soon as he became the Cubs GM. Rizzo had multiple call-ups with the Padres, but he never could hit for them and they lost patience. Or maybe Hoyer knew he was leaving SD and made it appear that Rizzo was a bust before he left the Pads organization. I was always suspicious how a young player could turn it around so fast like Rizzo did for the Cubs.
I still can’t believe the Reds gave up on Yasmani Grandal shortly after drafting him with their first round pick years ago. They have Barnhart and Stephenson now, so it’s all good. Barnhart has been awesome this year. He should be the NL starter.
1:09 Dang. Is the MLB draft THAT quiet that the number 1 overall pick has to watch himself get drafted on his phone? That's wild. Usually draft nights are some of the biggest, most important, and star studded nights in sports. Especially with Football and Basketball
Good video really enjoyed it !
I think the Brewers and Astros Carlos Gomez trade in 2013 ended up pretty bad for the Stros. They acquired Gomez and Mike Fiers in exchange for Domingo Santana, Brett Phillips, Josh Hader and Adrian Houser. The 4 named all contributed to the Brewers substantially over the past couple years and Phillips helped the Brewers acquire Moustakas last year
As a White Sox fan, that Tatis Shields trade crushed my soul. Imagine Tatis in this 2020 White Sox lineup, it would be filthy.
Thank you for mentioning the good parts of the christian yelich trade, most people just look at brinson
Love your vids Marc keep up the good work even if I am a Yankees fan
As a white sox fan, it hurts watching Fernando Tatis at the padres hurts. But at least we got Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert
The Arietta deal doesn’t hurt me that much. What really hurts me is when we traded Hader and Davies to the Brewers for Gerardo Parra. Yeah Parra was solid, but being that Hader and Davies have been incredible just hurts me...
You should make a video on the Best and Worst Trades in New York Mets History. That would make for a pretty cool watch.
