baseballs like a ten-foot tall octopus swinging juggs machines turned to high. The velocity is there, as his 95+ mph heater can get run up to 98 if need be. The arm angles are precipitous, as he can drop down and throw as many as three different pitches from a myriad of deliveries designed to confuse the living hell out of the opposition. And at just 28 years old, heтАЩs pretty much in his prime. Roll all that together with a flexible, long, team-friendly contract, and heтАЩs exactly the kind of pitching asset that any team out there would love to have. So, itтАЩs no surprise that there are teams that are interested in acquiring the Cincinnati Reds reliever - namely the Houston Astros and Boston Red Sox, as the Boston GlobeтАЩs Nick Cafardo made note of in his Sunday column.Just as unsurprising as тАШteams are interested in great, cheap relieverтАЩ is as a lede, so, too, is that тАШelite teams with eyes on a World Series trophy want to bolster bullpen,тАЩ so itтАЩs hardly anything salacious weтАЩre seeing here. Obviously, HoustonтАЩs fresh off their championship season and is looking to cement a shot at a second Rawly Eastwick Jersey, and Boston enters play today with an MLB-best 56 wins to their credit. However, a quick glance at FanGraphsтАЩ bullpen leaders show that both rank among the Top 5 in all MLB in fWAR accrued by their relievers, meaning thereтАЩs not an obvious need for bolstering already impressive units.However, BostonтАЩs Craig Kimbrel is set to be a free agent after 2018, so perhaps the Red Sox are interested in pairing Iglesias with him for now while replacing him on the cheap for years down the road. As for Houston, they just lost their big offseason relief acquisition to elbow inflammation in Joe Smith, while would-be closer Ken Giles has gradually been losing save opportunities in favor of Hector Rondon as the Astros seem to be in a bit of a bullpen shuffle at the moment.From CincinnatiтАЩs perspective, itтАЩs certainly nice to hear that the Astros are involved here. Giving up Raisel Iglesias at this moment given his favorable contract situation and excellent performance would require a haul in return https://www.crfanshop.com/kevin-mitchell-jersey, and HoustonтАЩs got a rather stacked farm system at the moment. RHP Forrest Whitley is a consensus Top 10 overall prospect and is sporting a 12.8 K/9 as a AA starter despite being over 4 years younger than league average, and heтАЩs the co-headliner of a system that also sports consensus Top 10 overall prospect Kyle Tucker, whoтАЩs mauling AAA to the tune of a .904 OPS so far in 2018 in the OF.As for Boston, their once prized system has seen what many prized systems see when under the guidance of Dave Dombrowski - namely, itтАЩs been gutted due to aggressive promotions and game-changing trades. The Chris Sale acquisition gutted much of their farm https://www.crfanshop.com/ryan-hendrix-jersey, of course, but even the top pitching prospect in their system - Jay Groome - is out for the year after having undergone Tommy John surgery. Add to that top prospect Michael Chavis is a) fresh off an 80 game PED suspension and b) a 3B/SS prospect just like absolutely every single other prospect in the Cincinnati system, and the top-end return options are a bit thin on BostonтАЩs end.Obviously, this all feels like nothing but preliminary interest, but thatтАЩs what you should expect to see on July 1st as the July 31st trade deadline inches ever closer. Rest assured, this wonтАЩt be the last time you see IglesiasтАЩ name kicked around, because heтАЩs simply too good of an asset at the moment to not have teams around the league salivating at his potential availability.
