Eder is 25 in AA and has an over 4 era and whip of 1.5. So explain that to me. Jazz has a lot of value and we do want him. Luzardo has a lot of value and we could also keep him. Rogers has decent value as a young left-handed starter. De la Cruz has more value to us than to other teams. Burger is worth allowing him to see if he can improve. Tanner Scott has legit value. Brujan needs time to see what he is. Xavier edwards also. Bell and Sanchez would be throw in players with Scott or Rogers.

Your thinking makes sense but the teams that want to go for it can also afford to keep him if that's what they want. How many examples of teams aggressively pursuing young controllable closers are there? Not many. They want proven success and closer maturity and mentality. The value on relief pitchers are lower than starters regardless.

I don't have the answer to that but he is crafty for his age and has strong secondary pitches. I think he is a 4th starter in the majors by 2026-27.

I understand the reasoning behind this take but I don't see this being the case. 1. Tanner is lefthanded which means he can pitch as a lefty specialist or a closer for contenders. 2. He has been beyond dominant for 2 years and healthy, not to mention.... he wants to pitch every day. 3. We are coming up to the trade deadline, so, timing should help push his value up. Another thing to consider is his contract..... he is a free agent at the end if the year and makes very little money for a dominant closer. Teams can go for it this year with him and not be stuck with him if he fails.
