Other teams believe that the Rockies' best chance, for making a Ubaldo Jimenez deal, is with the Cleveland Indians. #trades

I would be ecstatic if we could get a deal done for Jimenez.. Even if we fall out of the race this year, he's still under contract for like 3-4 more years.

Drew Pomeranz was scratched from his start tonight. Might be because of Ubaldo.

BULLETIN: Drew Pomeranz scratched from start at AA Akron. #Indians are known to be serious about Ubaldo Jimenez. #Rockies

edit: beat me to it. But they have scratched him before for no reason so idk lol.

Lol at the Tigers if the Indians get Jiminez while we get Fister.

Rox in serious talks w Indians. Hearing would center around pomeranz Alex white and kipnis

If we give up this much, I'd be upset..

If this is true, good trade for #Rockies.RT/"@TroyRenck: Rox serious talks w #Indians. Hearing center around pomeranz Alex white and kipnis"

Alex White was just scratched from his minor league rehab appearance.. Something is happening.

I head that the twins might trade Denard Span for Storen

Would you want to give up Scherzer or Porcello, Turner and Boesch for Jiminez? I'd rather get Fister and get rid of who we did. Fister is a good pitcher, just on a bad team with no run support.

Was looking like a weak year for trades then the whole Cardinals/Blue Jays/White Sox thing happened and the rumors have been flying.

Pence, E-Jax, Rasmus moved. Still potential for Ubaldo, Carlos Quentin, Denard Span, BJ Upton, Drew Storen, etc... to be moved.

Yeah Rox want A LOT for Ubaldo. The velocity drop on his fastball is a concern because he relies on it a lot.

I am glad the Tigers went with Fister. I'm happy with both signings and they are looking for another reliever. You're right though, they want a ton for him. While he is a good pitcher, I just can't justify giving up that much for him.

#Indians 1B Matt McBride, 26, was scratched from same AA Akron game. Unclear if he’s being promoted or dealt. #Rockies #Ubaldo

 

[elcheato]

Jason Kipnis hasn't been pulled from the Indians game yet so it doesn't look like he's getting traded.

 

[elcheato]

Yep.. Looks like Pomeranz, White and two lower level prospects. McBride being one of them.

"If the CLE-COL deal of Ubaldo Jimenez gets done, Kipnis probably won't be a part of it. #trades"

Not sure about the deal for the Indians. If Ubaldo returns to what he did last year, it's a great deal for both teams. If not, the Indians overpaid.

It's a lot. Dealing Pomeranz is tough for the Indians, but Alex White is coming off a finger injury that is similar to a former #1 pick of ours, Adam Miller and he has never been the same since. They are probably worried about that.

I know, I'm pretty surprised too.. Can't believe they are actually dealing high end prospects for star guys. But Ubaldo is under contract for a while. Makes sense.
