The team has been scouting the Yankees prospects because Yankees want Robbie

[Ronin]

The Post’s Dan Martin reported Friday that D-backs special assistant to the GM Tim Wilken has been scouting the Yankees’ Single-A squad, the Tampa Tarpons.

Don't sell cheap to the Yankee Scum

Don't sell cheap to the Yankee Scum

Dodgers would especially hate us, me thinks. Who cares!

 

[AZCB34]

Ray seems like the type that NY would chew up and spit out in short order.

Forrest Whitley from Astros please

NYY farm is weak. Who else is interested in Ray?

If Diamondbacks sell, Robbie Ray is their prize trade chip
On Friday night in St. Louis, left-hander Robbie Ray threw strikes, missed bats, worked deep into the game and limited damage. He did all the things that make him a valuable member of the Diamondbacks rotation – and all the things that make him arguably the most attractive starting pitcher that could be available at the trade deadline.

The Diamondbacks, of course, haven’t publicly signaled whether they will buy or sell at the deadline, instead indicating that they will determine that based on how the club performs over the next two weeks.

But if they sell, rival evaluators say Ray ranks among the best pitchers potentially available, alongside Giants lefty Madison Bumgarner, Blue Jays right-hander Marcus Stroman and Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler.

Brewers, Phillies, and Astros.

Left-hander Robbie Ray has been one of the most oft-discussed names in trade rumors this week as the D-backs continue to mull whether to buy or sell at the July 31 trade deadline, and MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reported Tuesday that the Brewers have shown interest.

Man ray for Clint Frazier strait up would be awesome.

Man ray for Clint Frazier strait up would be awesome.

Would probably take a multi player trade (Peralta) to pull it off.

In such a case, the Rays' Austin Meadows and an advanced/high end pitching prospect might do the trick also.

According to the Bleacher report website, the Brewers are now in the mix for Robbie Ray.

Robbie Ray

According to Morosi, Milwaukee is among the teams kicking the tires on Arizona's Robbie Ray.

Yankees —aka the Savages — would still like 1 starter and 1-2 relievers. They are high on Bauer, Ray and Syndergaard (who’s unlikely to be traded, especially to them). MadBum (moving up on all lists) and Stroman are also of interest.

NEW YORK — As Yankees general manager Brian Cashman and his front office continue to monitor the market before the July 31 trade deadline, they could pick bullpen coach Mike Harkey’s brain about a particularly interesting target: Diamondbacks strikeout machine Robbie Ray.

Astros, Brewers, Yankees are among teams interested in Robbie Ray. Dbacks, in wild card race, are still evaluating their seller/buyer stance.

 

[Ronin]

But the Yankees won’t be the only team calling the Diamondbacks, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.

According to major-league sources, Milwaukee is among the teams interested in one of the better starting pitchers available, Diamondbacks lefty Robbie Ray. Such a move would not be without logic. For all their troubles, the Brewers are just two games back in both the NL Central and wild-card races. Two of their better players, infielder Mike Moustakas and catcher Yasmani Grandal, are free agents at the end of the season. And right fielder Christian Yelich is an MVP candidate in his prime.

Keep hearing Clint Frazier to Arizona for Ray or Bradley, or multi players_not Garcia-for both

Hope it’s Bradley but most likely it’s Ray if they are dealing Frazier.

NY media reporting a deal is not close atm.

SNY's Andy Martino reported later the Yankees and Diamondbacks are not close on a deal involving Ray.

[Dback Jon]

If the Dbacks give up Ray just for Frazier, I will be highly pissed. Would rather keep Ray in that case. Dbacks are still going to need starters next year, and Ray is still on a good financial deal.

Don't trade unless you fleece the other team.

Good. We have Robbie for another year, if not more.
