Trade Deadline/Rumors thread

AA knows this could be his last shot, Blue Jays Prez Beeston is headed out the door, so TOR going for broke. Makes sense.

Didnt know that, they do have a pretty deep system though.

Good for the Astros. I'd like to see either them or KC win it all.

Yep, since the Braves don't care about winning I think I'll be cheering for Houston this playoffs. I was hoping Houston would get Hamels too but maybe they can still add to their rotation another good arm. Gomez was a solid pickup and upgrade in CF either way.

The Brewers will receive an impressive haul of outfield prospects Brett Phillips and Domingo Santana, right-hander Adrian Houser and lefty Josh Hader per Rosenthal

Go Astros! That is going to be one heck of a team come PO

Hey, I read that Michael Morse is available.

Well, we need a few more 30-year-old position players and pitching prospects with elbow injuries for that to be realistic.

Right, plus Wood had to go because he has a funky delivery and might get hurt. :)

Dodgers just DFA'd Beachy. Wouldn't mind bringing him home.

Would like to see this too. Give him a two month tryout at pro-rated minimum to see it he can earn an arbitration offer. If he earns that, bring him to camp and you can always cut him for 1/6th of his salary by March. Very low risk.

Based on the going rate for decent hitters, I say trade Olivera as soon as he produces anything. Talented 23-year-old hitting is better for us than talented 30-year-old hitting.

Who is AA?

Edit nvm for some reason I thought JP Ricciardi was still gm.

Oh my. Javy hit the game winner the night before I believe. Then the next day Sunday we were down 9-3 and Jordan hit a 3 run Homer to close it to 9-6 but still lost.

I was at this game with a few former members of this community, Nocahoma and ERa.

@MaxWildstein: Keep hearing Craig Kimbrel linked to the #Yankees. Got to think if the #Padres move him, it's to them.

Great, so he can go into the Hall of Fame as a Yankee instead of a Brave. FML
