Sure, but I've kinda tempered my expectations at this point. Was expecting Happ to bring back someone decent, but he's really ruined his value over the past month or so (still expecting some team to give something significant up for him though). Estrada's been mediocre. Donaldson couldn't stay healthy. Pillar injured. Hopefully we can eat Martin's contract and move him for anything, I really want to see Jansen up here.

Overall, I don't think we're gonna get any big name prospects. Any high-upside guys we do get are probably gonna be super young/unproven and won't be here for a while. I really wanted to put a younger team together in time for Vladd'y promotion.

Happ will still get some pretty good prospects. I don’t think teams will overreact to a couple of bad starts. He’s been really good for three years. He’s pretty much the top guy on the market now that Machado is traded.

They’ll also trade some relievers. I figure Oh is the best one.

I think they might try to put together a JD trade in August after the non-waiver deadline.

Yeah, I'd say Happ is still a solid no. 3 guy on most good teams right now. He'd definitely be an asset for a playoff contender. Lefties who throw mid-90s and get K's are a nice commodity. He was just putting up ace numbers early on in the season, so I was kinda getting greedy about what we could've gotten had we moved him earlier lol. Hopefully Cashman is under heavy pressure to try to catch up to the Red Sox and coughs up a good prospect. Yankees' system is loaded.

Yeah, Oh's probably getting traded. Maybe even Clippard. Relievers are easily replaced, so anyone over 30 on a short term deal should be moved if there's interest. I like that we're not selling low on Osuna though (hopefully).

Only danger of looking to move JD in August would be teams claiming him in order to prevent him being traded to someone else. He's expiring, so there's no chance of teams being afraid to claim his contract. I'd try to move him before the waiver deadline if possible, but not sure if he's healthy by then.
