Trade Deadline Day

Outside of Young and Lee, who would either team trade?

More specifically, who would the Nats trade? Laroche? Werth (no one would trade for him). Anyone else?

Why not Utley? And why wouldn't the Mets move Byrd? Neither make any sense

Im thinking maybe the Mets wanting to keep Byrd for next season. I hate to say it but the Mets are going to be tough to beat in the future. Besides, they might not have gotten any good offers for him.
 
I dont know why so many people ride the nats nuts. They werent a great team last year, they arent this year, and without some serious changes they wont be in the near future. They are not underperforming, they over performed last year due to a few career years and timely hitting. If Harper lives up to his potential and hits like an MVP for a full season then they can be good, outside of that their offense is going to suck hard.

Say what you want, but they won 98 games last year. They were a great team and so were the Braves.
 
I love how the extra Wild Card has all but killed the playoff races. It's done the opposite of what it was supposed to do (other than added revenue from extra playoff teams).

Selig is a tool.
 
The Phils aren't that far off from being a great team and Utley is a cornerstone. It would be like the Braves trading Chipper. I would have certainly traded Young if he would accept, but he really limited them.

He's a free agent in the off season, they could have just signed him back.

The only real race in the NL is the NL West, and it looks like the Dodgers will run away with that in the end. The AL is a different story.

Last year though, the AL races would have been much more exciting without the extra Wild Card.
 
Boring and disappointing! I could live without a starter (since there really weren't any worthy ones available). But no extra RH reliever or utility guy WITH a bat unlike Janish? Maybe they'll finally abolish the July 31 deadline and just go with a non-waiver trade deadline of August 31 when more teams would be willing to trade.
 
I didn't know that you could trade draft picks also. I thought I read it wrong when I saw it on the tracker
 
Can someone explain to me why every team in the league wouldn't make that trade for Kennedy? How does that improve Arizona?
