If there was solid evidence Bauer didn't do anything wrong or it could be plausibly denied I'm pretty sure the Dodgers would have helped make that clear because they are still paying him to not pitch.

I would love having Votto on the Cubs for a year. Also he seems to have decided he's only going to hit homeruns now, 14 of them in 65 games.

Tell that to the Cubs who signed not one but two guys - one of them to actual money - who fit this bill exactly this year and then hemmed and hawed about how they can't bring up the AAA 1B OPS'ing close to 1.000 because he was blocked.

Matt Mervis in 27 games managed to rack up -0.4 WAR. Not saying the Cubs should sign more veteran 1b's but uh, Mervis wasn't really the answer this year. I hope he can come up next year and mash but really they ought to just sign my good friend Cody.

He had a 4.60 ERA this year. I remember watching I think his last start before the DV incident and he looked completely checked out.

I don't think anyone wants to deal with the headache of having Urias on their team especially if he's not pitching well.

the biggest question about Soto I have is where does he fit in? Ohtani will DH and Mervis is the 1b of the future, so Bellinger has CF and we are set in left and right. wow the half of the Cubs FO that's left needs to start planning for Soto being a FA now

No team is made up of solely elite players, Gleyber Torres is a good and still young player who has improved the past 2 seasons. He was the Yankees 3rd best position player by bWAR this season.

He's not the greatest but he is also not really the Yankees problem.

San Diego has a really good 2b already so Torres is unlikely to interest them.

It probably makes more sense if they want to trade him to wait until the deadline. The Yankees will likely be competing next year as you would expect some bounce back from Rizzo/Stanton/LeMahieu. If they are out of the race by the deadline then you move Torres, it doesn't really make sense to move him now unless you're committing to a rebuild and don't want to contend next season (seems unlikely).

It's much easier to make big trades in the offseason than at the deadline... what are you talking about?

If the Yankees are looking to compete next year which it seems like they are then trading Torres doesn't make a lot of sense given him and Judge were basically their entire offense this year.

If they get to the deadline and aren't looking like they'll make the playoffs trade Torres then. If they trade him now that's just another gap they have to fill and what exactly are they trading for?

It doesn't sound like the Yankees have a lot of pieces to make any big trades this off season and if the target is Soto then Torres doesn't really fit into a deal as the Padres are set up the middle.

But who are they even trading for? You still need a 2b, for a team that struggled offensively it doesn't make a lot of sense to trade away your +offense 2b.
