Official 2013 Trade Deadline Thread

[fan_since79]

15 minutes to go and nothing but the sound of crickets.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@keithlaw: I'd take Bros before him “@Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: #Orioles agree to acquire Norris from #Astros for Hoes and another piece. Finalizing now"

[SoWhat]

There'll be some deals that will come after the deadline

[nate]

 

Jeff Passan verified

Bud Selig wants to ban Alex Rodriguez for life because of PEDs, but he's OK with two teams trading Bud for Hoes. Priorities.

[SoWhat]

I was really hoping the Angels would sell everybody they could. I think it should be fairly obvious by now that this roster isn't going to win crap anytime in the future.

We'll see some guys moved in the offseason

[Mark68]

Hopefully, Vargas comes back strong and the Angels can trade him Aug.

Apparently, the Orioles have discussed Vargas.

[Glen]

I'm surprised nobody started a fake trade thread.

[seenoevil]

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@jaysonst: I'm told at least one trade was completed before the deadline. Stay tuned

He's one of the few players that's a worse hitter than Mathis.

@JonHeymanCBS: there was a 3-way trade that didnt quite make it at the end. so no more deals from what i hear. #3way

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@JeffPassan: Never thought I'd say this, but the Fister-for-Furbush trade is no longer the funniest ever. Bud for Hoes and a Hader: You are the winner.

[ettin]

Astros getting L.J. Hoes and another piece for Norris.

 

So I guess this constitutes a change of area codes for Hoes.

 

What happened to Stro's before Hoes?

[Troll Daddy]

I still waiting for them to announce that Mathis was traded to the Cardinals.

[austin724]

So who got Hoesed?

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

@JeffPassan: Winners: Sox, Padres, Astros, Cubs and more. Losers: Pirates, Mariners, Mets, Angels, Hunter Pence. http://t.co/CWqhSh9G7u

I don't agree with Passan (re: Kennedy).

His whole write-up is pretty damn bad regarding the Halos. He acts like they won't deal Kendrick or Aybar in the offseason(likely Kendrick). Who cares that they didn't move him at the deadline. Also, what was with him saying they traded Ervin Santana for a guy who had TJ surgery and hasn't pitched for them? Is he implying they traded Ervin for Madson? WTF

I agree. He was talking about Sisk, the AA relief pitcher that the Angels got in the trade with KC for Santana.

[bloodbrother]

I agree. He was talking about Sick, the AA relief pitcher that the Angels got in the trade with KC for Santana.

 

Lol, didn't even know that dude got TJ surgery.

Pirates Made Significant Offer For Giancarlo Stanton

By Jeff Todd [July 31 at 8:15pm CST]

While the Pirates ultimately stood pat on trade deadline day (apart from a post-deadline deal for minor-leaguer Robert Andino), the club made a real push to acquire slugger Giancarlo Stanton from the Marlins, reports Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Pittsburgh worked hard to acquire Stanton, according to Biertempfel, who says that the club's best offer forced Miami to consider dealing their star right-fielder. Last we heard, the Marlins were set to hold onto Stanton in spite of intense interest around the game. As one of the game's premier power hitters at just 23 years of age, and set to enter arbitration for the first time next year, there is no question that Stanton would bring back a massive haul in any trade. While the Marlins continue to resist the urge to deal their best asset, he will certainly be one of the most interesting players to watch over the coming offseason.

Trade Kole...I wanna see him playing

[stormngt]

I was really hoping the Angels would sell everybody they could.  I think it should be fairly obvious by now that this roster isn't going to win crap anytime in the future.

 

I have no problem being sellers, but it is stupid to sell below value!  Kendrick is a good player and he isn't the reason why we are not making the playoffs.  However, I would have been fine trading him for a starting pitcher.  Trading him for some future Blanton's would have been stupid.

 

so i am good with no more moves for now.

[SanTiny]

Wait a second...was there a LH batter hitting a HR against a LHP? Why is him in the lineup?
