Crazy theory. We were pursuing Harvey as a backup to Archer. The more recent news is that we're not likely for Harvey. This being due to us being confident we're getting Archer.
I just realized the other possible reason for the Wilson move, preparing for Touki to MLB after one or two more days.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
If Allard goes to TB, who pitches tonight? Move Sanchez up to his regular spot? Archer takes the ball tomorrow on regular rest?

True. But I'm saying some teams might prefer Riley than say Anderson as the main piece.
I would offer Tampa this:
1) Choice of Riley or Anderson
2) Choice of Fried or Touki
3) A third guy on the order of Cumberland
I would make the same offer to the Blue Jays for both Stroman and Solarte.
I would tell both that this is my final offer. I would let them both know I've made a similar offer to another team and that the first one to accept gets the deal. It is an overpay on both scores, but the normal amount for this kind of deal at the deadline.
I would prefer Stroman and Solarte to Archer for the same price.

"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
With the Rays taking so long to trade Archer today I wonder if the offers coming in are considerably less than what they anticipated.
I don't think you would promote Wilson BECAUSE you just had a AAA spot open.
That doesn't make much sense to me.
Granted it doesn't make much sense to me to promote him at all so what do I know.
Braves have finally made their decision on Wisler and Sims. Seems reasonable they would transition Parsons to whatever realistic role that he might have left be to play. He certainly doesn't look like someone who will ever pitch in the Atlanta rotation.
oh yeah, and I hard forgotten it was likely Touki might be headed up or getting bullpen work. Bullpen might be destination for Wilson for that matter.

Orioles nearing a deal
Word is the Harvey market has slowed as teams are waiting to find out if they can land Archer...
Also Crasnick is reporting the Os are on the verge of making another trade
Get off my lawn!
O’s Trading everyone. Good for them
