Pederson/Stripling deal is DEAD. MOVE ON.

[ettin]

We should all prepare for two of our Top #3 through #10 prospects heading back to the Dodgers. Rengifo eats up some value in this trade but both Pederson and Stripling have a lot of value too.

You guys actually trust Jim Bowden? Lol

Back when the Angels had Freese, I commented on a tweet link to a Bowden column where he commented on the Angels needing pitching. I said something like Bowden has no clue what the Angels need. And I kid you not, the dude follows me and then DM’d me on Twitter mocking me for thinking Freese was the answer at 3B. Anyone else have that happen? Can’t imagine I’m the only one he’s done that to. Seems pretty insecure though.

I'm not preparing for that and I'll be annoyed if that's the case.

I can see how you'd annoy the shit out of him.  no offense.

It’s Twitter. *Everyone* mocks Bowden (although for him, pretty sure that isn’t unique to Twitter).

If the deal is what I was led to believe, then I don't think you'll be upset. But I never confirmed that, so I never reported it. And I haven't learned anything new in the past hour as it relates to the Dodgers and Angels.

you're the abraham lincoln of your profession.

Ya that’s bullshit if that’s the case.  Sorry.  Explain to me how Ross Stripling is tremendously more valuable then Dylan Bundy.  And Joc Pederson is fine.  He isn’t worth very much in terms of high end prospect capital though.   I can’t emphasis how strongly I’ll hate this deal if they’re giving up 2 top ten prospects and Rengifo for Pederson and Stripling.  Please stop saying this before you give me a stroke.

Joc/Stripling are worth more than just Rengifo but I don't think we will be sending back TWO top 10 prospects. That would be a lot

Depends how much LA values Rengifo. The other factor is how important the salary dump is to them. Rengifo seems to me to have more value than Pederson, but Stripling complicates it.

And if we get Pages back in the trade?

[Hufflepuff]

people on twitter are saying:

LAD gets: Taylor Ward and Rengifo

LAA gets: Stripling, Pederson, and Andy Pages

Sometimes rumors have some truth in them

I don't understand why we wouldn't just give up a lesser prospect and not take pages.

My guess is Pages is coming to give us more options to trade Marsh at the deadline to go after another starter.  

[Docwaukee]

the Angels are a huge part of why the Dodgers can make this deal and still stay under the cap.  They're gonna have to eat some shit to do it.

Boob not mentioning Pages.

I haven’t seen anything like this in the last couple of days.  Is there anything today saying that?  What does reddit dude say?

How do you know he ever left the trade?  I hate Twitter because all you get are terribly written random little thoughts that contain lots of inaccuracies, and in many cases are meant to mislead, intentionally or not.

or because the dogs realize that there aren't many teams willing to take on an extra 8m in payroll 2 days before spring training starts.

Pages has huge upside at 19 years old though a pitching prospect would be more desirable..

Boob saying no Pages.

Not mentioning is not the same as denying Pages is involved. We’ll have to wait to see. Boob isn’t the best reporter. 

[Inside Pitch]

Dodgers are sending money to Minnesota...   I'm guessing they value whatever cap space the Stripling/Pederson deal will save them more than people believe.
