The Trade Deadline Thread

[bloodbrother]

Yeah, good return for the Red Sox. Looks like the Cards are finally going all in with giving their top prospect Oscar Taveras some everyday AB's. With Craig gone, it opens up a starting spot for him.

[Stradling]

The Cards don't really make mistakes, so maybe they know something.

Cherington > Beane + Mozeliak

[Stradling]

I wouldn't mind getting Andrew Miller, the problem is this place would blow up with how much it would cost to get him.

thats the initial thought...buuuut

I dont know. Lackey is a horse, I mean a stud. I mean.

But seriously, solid pitcher. Probably better than kelly (for now). But worth him and craig?

And the cards pitching wise are already killing it...its their offense that sucks

[bloodbrother]

That $500K salary on Lackey for next season increased his value big time. No wonder Halos never bothered getting involved in the mix

Craig has been horrible this year and when they brought Tavares up his lack of production kind of made him the odd man out.  That said I think it's a good add for the BoSox as Fenway and that line up can help a lot of hitters.  St. Louis wanted a veteran pitcher and got seabiscuit to help them make a run while Boston got a young club controlled pitcher.

[Ochocinco!]

Why? At work so no tv

Chris Russo was talking loud.

[Stradling]

Shouldn't the Red Sox just trade Bulcholtz now as well?

[sneaky_flute]

It makes no sense that Cherington isn't shopping Uehara. 

[nate]

It makes no sense that Cherington isn't shopping Uehara. 

 

He is signed through next season.  Why would they trade him?

[nando714]

If I'm the dodgers I'm calling Boston

They're fixed on benoit

Sneaky, you hearing anything at all about possibly moving Rios?   

[sneaky_flute]

Yeah they're talking to the Giants

[Inside Pitch]

Yeah they're talking to the Giants

 

You think they are trying to get something useful or more interested in moving his salary away to try to open up more payroll for pitching?   I know he got off to a solid start but he's a pretty league average bat for 13 mil.

[Stradling]

Joel Sherman just said the Rays will be trading Price in the next two hours.

[nando714]

Oakland now getting offers for Hammel

I imagine they'll either get a C prospect or it will be total salary dump.

Hmmm sounds like the Dodgers
