MLB Trade Deadline Discussion

[yeezus]

Wow, we get to learn more about "sunk cost" again. How eductional!

How is BJ not a sunk cost though?

Tommy Milone is seeking a trade away from Oakland.

I keep thinking the Braves are going to snag a reliever from the AL, Boston or Seattle.

And I'm worried Chase Headley goes to Washington.

Why would that worry you?

Where would Headley play?

 

[Jay212033]

The Braves need a real 3B.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

My gut feeling right now is Andrew Miller may be the Braves big target before the deadline.

No where for him to play, and he's not very good anyways.

 

[DirkPiggler]

According to Deadspin Cliff Lee can only be traded to these teams without his consent.

Atlanta
Cleveland
Houston
Miami
Minnesota
NY Mets
San Diego
Tampa Bay
Washington

The only teams on that list remotely in contention are the Braves, Gnats, Indians, and (possibly) the Rays. Looks like Lee will remain in Philthadelphia, unless the Gnats want him or unless the Phillies want to pay basically all of his remaining salary.

Among teams seeking RPs, per exec who is selling: #Tigers, #Indians, #Orioles, #BlueJays, #Braves, #Brewers, #SFGiants, #Dodgers, #Pirates.

So basically every contending team.

That's not going to happen. They are already trying to figure out how to fit the guys they have into the lineup.

Chase Headley is about to join the Yankees. Yankees are finalizing a deal to acquire him from the Padres.

 

[thethe]

Wow, quite a difference from the packages being offered by some on this board. Yankees gave up nothing.

 

[gilesfan]

It's painful to see what the Yanks gave up to get him. what a steal and he's get to take advantage of the short porch in right.

 

[BRule]

Wow, Yankees stole him.....

Hitting 325 with a 780 OPS in July and going to Yankee Stadium AND they are getting money from SD?

 

[weso1]

The Padres are terrible at what they do.

To be fair, we said that about McCann too. Hasn't gone down like that...

 

[gilesfan]

His Iso at home is .209 compared to .071 on the road.

Hes also been better of late and I expect him to do well. Sometimes playing in NY plays mindtricks on people.

0 walks 16 strikeouts

Headley has been awful for about 2 years now.

I guess it just wasn't Kevin Towers
