Real Deal: Baltimore also receives SP Cameron Foster (not listed)

Really don't agree with Sotos value being this low. He's probably the premier lefty reliever arm that gets moved at the deadline.

That's fair, but his control has always been his challenge, and his continued high walk rates drag down his value. Everyone knows he has good raw stuff, but he's been traded a few times now, and each time the acquiring team has hoped to fix that issue, but none have yet been successful.

Sure, but the model should conform to the marketplace, rather than anticipate underperformance or poor return on investment, no? Many expensive things have notional, not functional, value – like volatile leverage relievers. :)

It does, to an extent. But the trade market (especially at the deadline) is inefficient, so the variance is higher.

Mets fan and not a fan of his walk rate. Mets are constantly in long innings because of high pitch counts and he goes right with them all.

Why on earth would they trade Aracena for a rental reliever lmfao.
