Trade deadline thread

[thewupk]

For their top prospect Jake Eder, steep price.

Feel like a ripoff. lmao

 

[thewupk]

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Detroit Tigers had a trade in place for left-handed starter Eduardo Rodriguez, but Rodriguez invoked his 10-team no-trade clause that included the Dodgers and the deal is now dead, sources tell ESPN.

lmfao

 

[thewupk]

I predict E-Rod to Dodgers and Flaherty to D-backs.

close but not quite

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Do we know who else is in his no trade list?

 

[msstate7]

Wow. Who in **** wouldn’t want to go from the tigers to the Dodgers?

Maybe he knows a preferable team is involved

That's crazy. He could get a ring with the Dodgers, certainly not with the Tigers. I wonder what they offered and if we could match, assuming we are not also on his no trade list

Just curious, but do you really think the Braves have the prospect capital?

 

[Hudson2]

Lmaooooooo at him invoking his 10 team list and saying no to the Dodgers bwahahahaha!! This is great

 

[bravesfanMatt]

What are his teams I wonder? Can’t imagine the dodgers not on most players list.

 

[striker42]

He must really hate the city of LA.

 

[Hudson2]

Detroit may panic and take less now bc he’ll be a FA at the end of the year.

 

[thewupk]

Yes. E-Rod is just a rental.

Less than an hour

I never begrudge a player exercising the contractual rights he's negotiated and earned through his on-field performance, but not wanting to go from the Tigers to the Dodgers is sure something. Maybe there's some personal, off-field stuff with his family that makes him want to stay put, like when BJ Surhoff was so devastated to be traded from a terrible Orioles team to the Braves.

OMG I remember that and he actually cried.

Me thinks he's staying put. Must want to stay with the Tigers if he turned down a deal with the Dodgers and a chance of going to the playoffs.

If another team ponies up he might not have a choice in the matter.

But I bet not us. Hope I am wrong, and of course what that would cost

 

[Hudson2]

Surhoffs son was sick and the best hospital for him was in Baltimore and he didn’t wanna leave.

 

[Nerfherders]

If his 10 teams are on the west coast then it's a geography thing.
