Trade Rumors Thread

[Mexi]

dodgers are keeping kuroda too
if we can re-sign him, then cool
but otherwise, i'd be kinda sour

 

[Elite]

Ubaldo has been scratched

 

[snipezo]

Wowz.

 

[Mexi]

Ubaldo is such a cool dude
i really hope he gets his ace game back

 

[elcheato]

So use to being disappointed by trading our own aces...

 

[Mexi]

who are the guys the indians gave up?
is it an overpay?

 

[Elite]

One of them was ranked in the top 15 mid-season prospects by BA

 

[elcheato]

Drew Pomeranz is our top prospect. Big lefty, throws mid 90s with a knuckle curve. Has to develop his change up though.

Alex White was like a top 50 prospect when we called him up, but projects more like a #2 then an ace. Coming off a bad finger injury.

6:31pm: A deal featuring Span and Storen continues to look close, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter).

 

[elcheato]

That deal is weird for both teams..

 

[Mexi]

nats are desperate for a CF, but i really wouldnt want to deal Storen for Span

 

[snipezo]

Span has a very friendly contract though.

 

[Mexi]

i like span, but storen could be one of the best closers very soon

i understand closers are overrated and they still have clippard, but i just think they could do better

 

[elcheato]

Agreed. I'm all for trading closers if you're a bad team, just makes sense if they have value, but for Span?

 

[elcheato]

Looks like we're going to trade for Ryan Ludwick either later tonight or tomorrow morning.

 

[Elite]

Looks like the Ubaldo deal isn't happening now? Ubaldo hasn't been pulled yet, still warming up.

 

[elcheato]

Not sure

 

[elcheato]

Ubaldo is on the mound but they have a guy in the bullpen. What are the Rockies doing? Why would you even have him out there?

 

[gochiefwahoo14]

Ubaldo pulled and hugging teammates goodbye. Worst trade in recent years seems to be going down. Fuck you Indians management.

 

[elcheato]

And if they didn't make a big move, most of the fan base would criticize them for that.. They can't win.
