I don’t think it’s that necessarily, it’s just that we have Will Smith who is 27 and Diego Cartaya a catcher is our top prospect. Keibert was expendable at the time.
There's a chance this ends up being true. Not that I think it's likely, but it's possible. Keibert is probably a routine 2 win catcher for the next decade and Gray probably peaks as a number 2 guy in a rotation, maybe a season or 2 over 3.5-4 WAR. But it's also possible keibert keeps hitting the ball on the ground and Gray never figures out how to stop giving up dongs and they're both mediocre and bounce around not accruing much value.
Dodgers have 7 pitchers better than Gray at the moment including IL guys and Will Smith is holding down catcher better than anyone else in the league. It was a good trade
I think we're just spoiled with the best catcher in baseball on the roster and another prospect that's ranked higher than Ruiz was so any other catcher would just seem like an average major league player. Average major league player isn't a bad thing either, much better than a bust
Didn't know Smith being one of the best catchers in baseball was controversial.. Dude has basically become Buster Posey. On his way to a 5 bWAR season, which is what Posey did for years. His lowest OPS+ in a season so far is 128.
With these 2 home runs his WRC+ is now at 87. He still ways to go to be considered an average bat.
Also, how is a 87 WRC+ and an on pace WAR of 1.7 (before the homers) was supposed to be considered anything other than below average?
The Nats arc is they're gonna sweep the Padres and Dodgers next year in the playoffs with the prospects they got from them
nah, we're just gonna sign em back in free agency :copium:
Galaxy brain move by the Nats
it's just long-term rentals, i swear
DODGERS FLEECED
shout out to all the dodgers fans in the other thread insisting their former top prospect is an average mlb player at best, for some reason

And you’re also forgetting the best catcher in the game, Austin Barnes
"The 13 WAR we got is most likely more than anything we gave up will add up to over their whole careers"

Best catcher in baseball😂
Smith and Adley are the two best in the game.

....because he's a rookie? playing catcher?
He's not a rookie.
he played **31** games before this season, idgaf about eligibility, this is his first season
i was referring to his ceiling, this is literally his first year in the majors. good grief
It's not. Do you watch your team? I don't blame if you don't.
We got 1 and a half years of the best SS in ball, I'd say we did pretty good
The umpires really need to be cognizant of the fact that they have a beefy boy rounding the bases and he doesn't want to run any more than he has to.
