What are the Padres doing?

 

[weso1]

The Padres will be terrible forever.

 

[Oklahomabrave]

Looks like we won't do anything else, I'm kinda surprised.

 

[Tapate50]

I hope the Mutts BURY the nationals.

The Mets would be insane if he was.

I was hoping the Mets would stupidly deal Wheeler. They have too much elite pitching as it is. Last thing we need is for them to have another high upside arm.

Pretty lame day unless we get a lot of announcements soon.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

It's 4:00 Eastern. Lets see how many deals get announced

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Orioles trade Tommy Hunter to the Cubs

No late deals for #Braves. Calm, for now.

Shanks said Braves did nothing. I know you can't force people on teams, but it's completely stupid we're keeping AJ around for now and not giving CB every AB possible to see what we have.

#Padres largely standing pat because GM A.J. Preller believes the team can reach the postseason, source says.

Hart doesn't want to burn that bridge with AJ because he wants him on the team next year.

Ugh.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I hope im wrong but this seems like one of the worst Braves trade deadlines I've ever seen

After Y2K, #Padres trade deadline sell off is biggest non-event in our history

If I was to grade the Braves at the trade deadline I would give them an F. AJ, Gomes, Maybin, Teheran, even Markakis. there is no reason for any of them to still be here, not to mention Chris Johnson.
