Having traded Jon Jay and Kelvin
Herrera, the Kansas City Royals are now shopping Mike Moustakas.
The issue for Kansas City may be that
third base isn't a position many contenders need to fill.
Moustakas, 29, is hitting
.263/.319/.480 with 14 home runs, 48 RBI and two stolen bases.
2019 Prospects –
Rece Hinds SS/3B Niceville Senior
PG
Grade: 10 - Rece Hinds is a 2019 SS/3B/OF with a 6-3 195 lb. frame from
Niceville, FL who attends Niceville Senior HS. Excellent physical frame with
strength throughout and room to add more to the build; outstanding athlete.
Primary shortstop with excellent arm strength across the diamond. Quick release
and good lateral movements with a clean glove. Arm strength plays from the
outfield as well; up to 94 mph. Gains momentum and gets weight well behind
throws. Tools and arm strength are there to be an impact defender. Righthanded
hitter with quick hands and easy, explosive bat speed. Huge power potential and
whips the barrel through the zone with natural life. Stays on plane with good
balance and the ball jumps off the bat. High end offensive talent with a strong
set of tools. Named to the Junior National Showcase Top Prospect List.
Excellent student. Verbal commitment to Louisiana State.
My 1st look at Mark Vientos
, 3B, Kingsport Mets –
He had a fairly quiet day at 3B but he did handle a hot shot
cleanly and made a strong throw. Plenty
of arm for the position.
Not a runner.
Manny Machado's
sweepstakes are underway - and Dodgers
are favorites to acquire him –
The Los Angeles Dodgers are playing it coy, acting as if they
can’t take on money, won’t give up prized prospects, and aren’t hellbent on
returning to the World Series again.
Don’t be fooled.
They are poised to land Baltimore Orioles shortstop Manny Machado.
Harrison yapped back, which got both
teams out of the dugout and both bullpens emptied, and led to a ridiculous
scene in which Cabrera, the guy Familia was ostensibly sticking up for, gently
hugging Harrison in order to protect him from his rowdy Mets teammates.

Sometimes you need a fight to shake things up and remember you are supposed to be a team that is united in a common goal. They couldn't even get that right :)
Rece Hinda looks like exactly the reason we should hope we get the # 1 pick next year. He reads like a future superstar.
The Mets crossed home plate quite a few times during their 8th inning scrum. Something they don't cross much the rest of the time.

It will be interesting to see how the Ricco led front office handles the roster and trade deadline now that Alderson is not involved.
Will it be more of the same, giving more credit to him being the behind the scenes leader and absolving Alderson of some of the responsibility for the Met mess?
Or, will there be a change of strategy and execution, signifying hope that the mess can be placed more squarely at Alderson's feet and providing hope toward the future?
Interesting that the entries for Vientos and Machado are right next to each other.....with any luck, MV will be "our" Machado in a few years.
That would sure be good..and hopefully, Kelenic and Mauricio will also be stars in the future.
