Who is Conor Lillis-White you might ask (and probably did)? He has never been much of a top prospect, but Lillis-White has performed at pretty much every level. Over 4 minor league seasons he amassed 252 Ks in 190.2 innings. Lillis-White also has a carer 3.35 ERA along with a 1.233 WHIP and 11.9 K/9 rate.He threw 37.1 innings for Salt Lake last year with a respectable 3.86 ERA and 12.5 K/9.But wait, there’s more! Look how good the dude was against lefties:Those are some nice numbers and with the loss of Jose Alvarez, the Angels are burning through lefty arms like Mike Scioscia at the pasta bar.Let’s recap the off season so far:Nah, never mind. It’s been one big pile of poo, including the signing of Justin “CJ” Bour(ing). The off-season has a long way to go, however, so stick around and enjoy the ride - just don’t expect it to be too full of thrills. The New York Yankees always seem to find their way into the headlines, especially around this time of year.They're in the thick of a playoff hunt and have 67 wins Michael Fulmer Jersey , putting them way ahead in the AL wild-card race.Yankees starting pitcher Sonny Gray has been the subject of some trade rumors as we approach the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, and we'll explore the most recent news surrounding him.In addition to Gray, we'll look at two other players who could be on the move soon.Sonny Gray To Be Dealt?Overall, the Yankees have a solid rotation as we approach the postseason.However, one of the weaker links is Gray, who has a 5.08 ERA.According to Jon Heyman ofFancred,it's believed there is a bit of interest in Gray as "there are folks who believe he'd do better in another market":Jon Heyman JonHeymanThere said to be a bit of interest in Sonny Gray in trade, as there are folks who believe he do better in another market. But Yanks鈥?main interest is in adding to rotation, not subtracting from it.Heyman noted, though Leonys Martin Jersey , that the Yankees are looking to add to the rotation and not subtractfrom it.However, since this report, the Yankees have added J.A. Happ, making Gray more expendable.For whatever reason, it just isn't working out for Gray in pinstripes this season. Maybe there is some validity to him doing better elsewhere.It would be hard for Gray to netsome major assets with his stats, but it would certainly be better than nothing. Kela Interest PiquingWith 24 saves under his belt, Texas Rangers pitcher Keone Kela is a prime candidate for contending teams seeking bullpen help.At just 25 years of age and under team control through 2021, Kela is a valuable asset for a team to have, not only for this year but for years to come.According to T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com, both the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves are interested in gaining his services.As Sullivan noted http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-jimenez-jersey , Kela would net a larger return than any player they could possibly trade at this point in time.In this same report, Sullivan said that the Rangers are interested in Braves prospect Luiz Gohara.For the Dodgers, a back end of a bullpen with Kela and Kenley Jansen would be devastating as you can almost assure that two innings would be totally blanked.All signs point to Kela being dealt come the deadline, considering the interest.Gohara Being Dealt at Right PriceThough the Rangers may be interested in someone like Gohara for Kela, he's not the type of player they would trade him for.The 21-year-old left-handed pitching prospect would only be traded for a "controllable starter," according to Ken Rosenthal ofThe Athletic:Ken Rosenthal Ken_RosenthalIf #Braves trade Gohara, Allard or any of their SP prospects, it will be for a controllable starter such as Archer and not bullpen help, sources say. So, not interested in a Gohara for Kela-Diekman type deal.One player Rosenthal mentioned specifically is Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Chris Archer http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-joe-jimenez-jersey , who has been the subject of a number of rumors.Kela may be an excellent asset to have, but for a player like Gohara, you can understand why the Braves would only want to deal him for a top-end starter to help out their rotation.So, as Rosenthal stated, do not expect a Kela-Jake Diekman for Gohara trade to go down any time soon.Gohara has had a rough go of it in 2018, with a collective ERA of near 6.00 across AA, AAA and the big leagues.
