I don't think anyone will offer enough for Frazier, and he'll get traded in the offseason.
I predict that Polanco will end up on the 60 day IL and stay on it the rest of the season, and get his 3 million dollar buyout.
I agree on Polanco
Also on the opening thread I typed WRITE instead of RIGHT. Thank goodness my former students don't see this
Dear Mr. Wildwood Dave:
We're embarrassed for you. You call yourself a teacher. We should forget everything you taught us.
Most likely to be traded - Rodriguez. Unfortunately, some of the teams who need him the most, like the Nats, do not have a good farm system.
I believe Frazier will be traded, but again, one of the teams who need him the most, the White Sox, do not have a good farm system.
I believe Anderson is as good as gone. Too many teams that are experiencing problems in their starting rotation who could use someone who appears able to take the ball every 5th day and who will typically keep you in a game. He also is cheap.
I believe that one or both of Howard or Stratton will be traded. Howard has been decent except for when he was going out with an injury, and Stratton has typically been able to make it through an inning without surrendering any runs, and can sometimes go 2. Neither would net a big return, but could net a lower level prospect with some upside. Quite a few teams are experiencing bullpen problems and someone like Howard or Stratton could help another team prop up their bullpen without surrendering a boatload of talent.
If Gamel keeps hitting someone may inquire about him because of the number of outfielders who have gone down this year and because he can play all outfield positions, but I wouldn't expect much in return. If he does keep hitting like he has recently, Bucs may want to try and sell high. Perhaps he is part of a deal that involves one of the other major leaguers who would be traded.
I hope that they do not trade Reynolds, even though he likely would net the best return of any player who could be traded (Hayes is likely untouchable), and I similarly hope that Stallings remains a Pirate, even though a number of teams could use him.
With a number of teams starting to drop out of contention, I hope that BC starts to make some decisive moves shortly after the all-star game.
My guess is that Frazier will be traded to some team who is willing to take on Polanco's contract in exchange for a couple of A Ball suspects. Then some will rave about the "treasure trove" of prospects that Cherington obtained.

I will bet you 20 dollars this doesn't happen.

If another team would be willing to take Polanco’s contract off his hands, Nutting would trade his wife and daughters along with him. He probably sees them as too expensive anyway.

His wife maybe but not his daughters. Remember that he is leaving the team to his daughters when he dies to keep us in misery or shall I say miserly
