Thorpe's path to the big leagues just got easier. More than likely Warren’s path. Gil will need to build up innings or he might have the inside track with that nasty triple digit juice he’s got. Sometimes blessings are disguised 🥸… |

Updated, the White Sox made out pretty well.

Thorpe's path to the big leagues just got easier. The fact that thorpe got traded twice in 4 months should tell you that not to put so much stock into any hype that a prospect gets . I mean even the padres were willing to move him for cease |

Drew Thorpe (SDP) – 4.0 IP, 0 ER, 1 Hits, 2 BBs, 1 Ks. He sat 88/89 mph on his heater. Wait, what? Yeah. It’s a legit changeup, don’t get me wrong, and he has a cutter he targets inside to LHB with a sweeper to RHB, but hot dang, I can’t buy into a prospect arm who sits sub 90 mph, even if that changeup is Wacha/Estrada-esque.
Now, Pollack is speaking as someone who analyzes starting pitching from the perspective of fantasy league players who play in 12- and 15-team mixed leagues, so the value of a major league quality #4 or #5 starter means far less to him, but it does indicate he doesn't think Thorpe's ceiling is very high. |

People in this board were all upset about thorpe being included in the soto deal . |

Updated, the White Sox made out pretty well.
So, the Yanks could've traded for Cease, if they were willing to strip most of there remaining farm system pitching depth...or surrender Spencer Jones.
All that for a starting pitching who has brilliant stuff, but who has had exactly one elite season in essentially four major league seasons, but one who's been worth about 4 fWAR but 1.6, 2.8 and 0.6 bWAR over the last three seasons. His postseason record is comprised of one good relief appearance and one bad start.
Whether or not you think the Yanks should've made the trade depends on whether you think Cole will be back by June, how strong you think the rest of the team is, and how likely you think it is in consideration of those two evaluations that they're going to make the postseason. Me? I'm not so sure they're making the postseason, so from the Yankees point of view, I wouldn't have made such a trade. For the Padres it makes more sense, because, partly due to the Soto trade, they have far more pitching depth in the majors and minors than the Yankees do right now. Aside from Brito and Vasquez from the Soto trade, they still have Dylan Lesko and Robbie Snelling, two highly regarded pitching prospects. |
