💁🏼♀️ Williams still holding some prospect value, but what about 24yr Nichols with his iffy shoulder & I suppose Suarez does because of his age? Cardinals also receive a PTBNL. ⚾️
Rays say no. Winn is a Rays kind of SS, but so is Williams. I can’t see the Rays trading Williams before the Rays see what they have in him. He’s their OD SS. I don’t see a Nichols injury being reported, and the Rays wouldn’t be able to trade him if he is out right now with a shoulder injury. Suarez could be a top 100 pitcher by year end. Can’t see him being traded either.

You’re right, I must be thinking of someone other then Nichols because I can’t find anything specifically to his shoulder. Unless my brain (for some reason) is recalling this because the only thing I can find is him being placed on the Injured List in 2024. And that decision seem to come after he experienced some setbacks during his recovery from an unreported process. He had a nice year in ‘25.
No worries. Nichols took a big step last year and is seen as a solid mid-rotation arm now (maybe even more). Suarez is obviously very good too. Giving them up plus Williams is hard to fathom.
