Two More TCDB Trades

A lot of the cards to come are going to be through TCDB trades.  I will try to catch up as soon as I can, but it will take awhile.

The first one is a bunch of blue parallels from this year's Heritage set.

1.  Carlos Narvaez.  Narvaez had a great season in 2025 as a rookie catcher, hitting 15 home runs.  He was acquired in a deal with the Yankees prior to the season for pitching prospect Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz, and that trade looks like a decent deal for both sides.  He has struggled this season.  Something is going on with him, possibly something off the field.  

2.  Ceddanne Rafaela.  Yes, Rafaela is still my favorite player and there will be a lot of cards of him coming in future posts.  He is having a big year so far and appeared in the All Star Game for the first time.  

3.  Marcelo Mayer.  Mayer has not been great at the Majors so far.  As the fourth overall pick, he is going to be given a longer leash, but it would be nice to start seeing better results.  He's just 23, so there is time.

1.  Tyler O'Neill.  O'Neill had a huge season in his only year in Boston.  That One-Year Wonder post is coming some time.  He hit 31 home runs.  Will it be enough to unseat Hunter Renfroe as the top One-Year Wonder Right Fielder?  I guess we will find out.

2.  David Ortiz.  What is there more to say about Ortiz?  I love getting cards of him still.

3.  Tyler McDonough.  McDonough was selected in the third round of the same draft that produced Marcelo Mayer.  He has made it to Worcester this year, so he could eventually make it to the Majors, but he's 27 now, so he doesn't look like he will have a lengthy career.
