Trades/trade deadline countdown thread

Hopefully he'll find his release point by then.

 

Right after somebody hits a three-run homer off of him in the game that eliminates us from playoff contention.

I understand them not selling the farm for one of the big bats but I figured they'd add another reliever today. Pen needs help

[Mark68]

Getting a really good bat wouldn't be overreacting to three games. It's what this team has needed all year, and was magnified over the last three games. Same with getting another good reliever. Salas should never be pitching the 9th inning of a tied game. EVER.

#Padres RH reliever Joaquin Benoit (6-4, 2.27 ERA in 45 G) fits profile of what #Angels looking for. And he's still available.

The #Dbacks say their talks with #Reds for Chapman now completely dead. Here come the #Astros

Still think we could have gotten Lind or Reddick without giving up too much. 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

This year's trade deadline has actually been pretty exciting. A lot of impact players moving around.

Cardinals were trying to acquire Lind....then they changed course and traded for Moss. I'd take that as a sign that Lind couldn't be had without giving up too much

How many prospects do the Blue Jays have, and why are they giving all of them away?

Somebody tell me the Jays farm system was the number 1 ranked system in baseball, because otherwise these moves dont make any sense.

good call

[Stradling]

Anyone watching MLB network right now? Was that technical difficulties or is Gammons having a stroke? I am not trying to be funny, I don't get what I was listening to.

Most publications had them in the top 10. 7-10 range mostly.

Reports: Cubs acquire Dan Haren: The Cubs have agreed to a deal with the Marlins that will send veteran starting pitcher Dan Haren to Chicago, according to ESPN and multiple reports.

Haren, 34, is 7-7 with a 3.42 starts this season and his 1.09 WHIP ranks 10th in the National League. Maimi will receive minor leaguers Ivan Pineyro and Elliot Soto, a source told ESPN's Jerry Crasnick.

I dont believe those rankings anymore. How do the Jays have prospects to trade for everyone and the Angels dont have enough prospects to even get one player.

Interested to see where they rank now

Who said they don't? Being unwilling and being unable are two different things.

Just ask Bill Cosby.

Marlins Seeking Controllable Pitching

By Tim Dierkes [July 31, 2015 at 2:01pm CDT]

The latest on the Marlins, who have already shipped Dan Haren to the Cubs…

• About eight teams are interested in Capps, tweets MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro.
• At least a dozen teams have checked in on Capps, tweets Yahoo’s Jeff Passan, and the reliever could very well move.  The Marlins are also getting calls on reliever Sam Dyson, according to Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald.

Earlier Updates

• Jon Heyman of CBS Sports says the Marlins are looking for controllable young pitching, with names such as Tyson Ross of the Padres, Carlos Carrasco of the Indians, and Nate Karns of the Rays in play.
• A number of teams are calling on recently-demoted outfielder Marcell Ozuna, tweets Frisaro.  The Marlins have no urgency to move the 24-year-old, who hit 23 home runs last year.
• The Marlins are shopping for starting pitching today, tweets MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro, in what he expects to be a busy day for the club.  Frisaro notes that Dan Haren is drawing interest from several teams.  Also, reliever Carter Capps was linked to the Yankees earlier.
• Earlier this week, the Marlins sent impending free agent Mat Latos to the Dodgers in a 13-player deal, but the move seemed mostly about salary relief for Miami.  The assumption is the Fish are seeking young, controllable starting pitching, since both Latos and Haren will be eligible for free agency after the season.

 

 

This is a deal I think the Angels can and should look into: Trop for Ozuna.

[nando714]

@Ken_Rosenthal Jay Bruce is not in the #Reds’ lineup.

[bloodbrother]

I dont believe those rankings anymore. How do the Jays have prospects to trade for everyone and the Angels dont have enough prospects to even get one player.

 

Angels are ranked dead last or 2nd to last. Quite a drop off from the #8-#10 farm system and the #28-#30th farm system.

 

Angels DO have enough to get a player, the difference is that it would hurt their system a lot more than it would the Jays.
