Trade Rumors Thread

[Mexi]

whoever the Pads trade Heath Bell to, I think they're getting a HAUL

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

we need to get better pitching

That is why they traded for Doug Fister & David Pauley.

 

[The Guid]

Should we just rename this into a deadline thread?

Anyway, the Braves acquired Michael Bourn from Houston for OF Jordan Schafer, LHP Brett Oberholtzer, RHP Paul Clemens, & RHP Juan Abreu.

 

[elcheato]

That's a real nice pick up for the Braves, and good job by the Astros to sell high.. Not sure if Bourn will ever hit .300 again in his career. I'm not sure how good the prospects are though.. So maybe they got shit in return lol.

 

[elcheato]

Looks like Ryan Ludwick is on his way to Cleveland. Should be a decent pick up. Numbers could improve getting him away from Petco.

Ubaldo - Fukudome - Ludwick

Solid deadline

edit: well scratch that.. Doesn't look like we're gonna get Ludwick.

Dodgers traded their 2nd best hitting prospect, Trayvon Robinson for 3 shit players from Boston
im stunned.

i shouldnt be, because Ned Colletti is a horrible GM, but i am stunned


the headliner we got back is a Sox catcher that projects as a backup catcher. strong defense, not power at all

and Tray is murdering AAA. has like 30 homers already


FUCK

im not expecting Tray to be a stud, but the Dodgers could have done better

 

[The Guid]

Trayvon ends up in SEA. I'm iffy on Bedard. He better not mail it in, because he's a baby that doesn't like big showcases and all that.

 

[Mexi]

the guys the sox gave the dodgers suck
this blows for me

 

[The Guid]

They don't suck, they just aren't anything more than role players. Obviously not worth your best hitting prospect though.

 

[Mexi]

thats why im disappointed
i understand that he's blocked by Kemp/Sands/Ethier(for now), but we could have done better

Jerry Sands grew up 15 minutes away from me

After the Ubaldo trade I thought for sure the Indians would get a bat, and needed one.. They're banking on being in the race when Choo gets back mid august, which may be too long a wait.. Ugh, can't believe we didn't end up with Ludwick.

Buccos!

1 up time

Ryan Braun is from my neighborhood
Granada Hills, CA!
home of John Elway as well

 

[elcheato]

<_<

Ludwick sucks though lol

Indians desperately need a right handed bat and he's been driving in runners all year on a bad team.

Just realized Sands didn't grow up here, he was just born here <_<

Mike Aviles wasn't born here but he went to the high school I thought Sands went to, which is 15 minutes away.

He's also hitting .240 with a .300 OBP

He doesn't get on base a ton but 11 homers in Petco? I'll take that for what they gave up (spare prospect or cash)
