Fyi it's 24 days to get control of Priester for 2030. As for comments regarding what this means about Yorke vis-a-vis any other player, it means nothing. It means this was the player they needed to give up to get Priester, that they were willing to make that trade, and that's all. They might've been considering calling him up this week depending on how the deadline went, they might've known they were never going to do so. We'll never know. I love the deal. Priester's ceiling is much higher than Yorke's for me. A couple weeks also feels like the amount of the time you might want to fully ramp him back up as a starter and have him work with the pitching group to make the tweaks they want him out of him. If he’s desperately needed before that point I guess you figure it out

I love the trade. Hopefully Nicholas Judice pans out to pair with Priester. I can hear the GDT titles already.

His delivery kind of reminds me of Garrett Whitlock. This statement got me excited and then depressed. I won't take a guess on how this works out, but I like the idea of taking a chance on a possible starter.

Love it. This is the kind of asset I'd hope they'd acquire in sell mode.

Seriously I am so against buying at the deadline for this team. But this is exactly the type of move I want the team to make!!! Love it

Nah, Yorke is way better than Chavis - those K rates were never going to play. I was thinking more Garin Cecchini. Good call, although I feel if you made this comp 24 hours ago, several on this board would’ve hunted you down and flogged you. I, too, thought of Chavis — 1st round prep SS with a good minor stick but peaked defensively at 17 and got moved to the Pirates— but as someone else mentioned, Yorke’s plate discipline is much better and I think Chavis crushed LHP in the minors.

Alright you’ve stumped me. I had to google past Judas Priest members to no avail. However there was some bloke named Chris Campbell affiliated with the band. This is destiny!

Does this move appease those who still want them to draft pitchers no matter what?

I view this from the minors point of view. We've essentially swapped first rounders. How many times have we heard our prospect pitching is light and how many times have we heard we have excess middle infielders ?

Except Yorke’s bonus was 2.7 and Priester’s was 3.4 (and was a year earlier). Overall point stands.

Anyways I’m a huge Yorke fan but I think this makes sense. They had to pick a couple 2B guys to bet on and they could use another talented arm I had him penciled in to start 2B for us next year. I see several people claim that this guy or that guy surpassed Yorke based on the trade, well that is just tragically flawed logic regardless of whether or not it could be right. I do believe the noose for Grissom is a long one and I do think Campbell is the back-up and time is still on our side. It's a trade based on one teams excess for another teams excess covering the weakness of each other, a pure trade. I hope it works well for both players and teams.
