Trade Deadline/Rumors thread

[Heyward]

Don't get why Texas is on Hamels. Sure he's a great pitcher, but I don't see them catching Houston or LAA. I applaud their effort, but they aren't making the post season.

It's a future trade, to have Darvish/Hamels as a 1-2 next year, going forward.

 

[Heyward]

Amaro did well for Hamels.

FInal deal and its a doozy: Matt Harrison, Alec Asher, Jerad Eickhoff, Nick Williams, Jorge Alfaro & Jake Thompson for Hamels+Diekman+Cash.

Sandy Alderson, #Mets GM, to NY reporters on the Gomez trade: "The trade has not and will not happen."

Most logical explanation is that #Brewers were uncomfortable with Wheeler’s medical coming off Tommy John. Players were agreed upon.

Gomez's camp was told a trade was done pending physicals. I assume the physicals were not approved. #Brewers #Mets

I wonder if St. Louis made a quick call on Gomez given Holliday's injury.

Mike Piazza's tenure with the #Marlins lasted longer than Carlos Gomez's second stint with the #Mets.

Could be. Maybe this is why the trade fell through with New York? Maybe Milwaukee got a better offer from the Cardinals.

The #Brewers rejected the #Mets trade because of concerns over Wheeler"s physical and still plan to trade Gomez by Friday.

 

[Hawk]

Just a little stroll down memory lane:

They added $56MM of another team's debt.

Gave up the 41st pick the draft.

Gave up a starter that was ranked 50-100 (I can't remember what in the preseason).

Another prospect (who I forgot the Braves traded for an International Draft slot)

1 WAR outfielder with two years control.

Damn, that was a great trade.

****.

There is some twitter buzz that the Mets sent the Brewers an MRI of Wheelers left arm. Please be true.

Sources: #Mets backed out of trade due to concern over hip issue with #Brewers’ Gomez

Classic Mets. Wheeler is a really solid guy, so I understand but I think Gomez could of been big for them and that nonexistent offense.

Industry buzz is that the Cardinals and Indians may be on the verge of a significant trade.

Cardinals get Brandon Moss to replace Holliday, send Rob Kaminsky (#3 team prospect) to Cleveland.

the team consistently makes good moves. This was a great one. Steep price but needed.

Hard to see this as a "great move". It needed to be done, but That's a helluva lot to give up for Brandon Moss

We rarely see Cards GM John Mozeliak blatantly ove pay in a trade; that was the case in the Moss- Kaminsky trade. This was coup by #Indians

 

[WaitingFor2017]

So who else should see a new team in the next 30 hours?

I'm hoping for:
Pierzynski
Gomes
C. Johnson
Maybin

I suspect that only AJ gets traded. If Gomes gets traded, he is likely attached to a better player.
