summer trade deadline 2014

Surprised the Giants weren't more active today, considering the massive hole 2B has been all season long. I guess they are keeping their prospects a little longer, or that they are pretty confident with that wild card spot.

I'd prefer someone higher than low-a but I thought price was going to command 3 of the top 25 prospects in mlb so wtf do I know

The Braves have acquired James Russell and Emilio Bonifacio from the Cubs, according to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times

Wittenymyer tweets that a minor league catcher is headed to Chicago.

@MattGelb
Amaro said Phillies did not ask for “top prospects.” Criticized other GMs for not being aggressive enough.

Nice one, Wren.

Wonder if they (ATL) will dump Doumit or Schaefer.

Brian Roberts dfa'd

full deal:
Marlins have announced a multi-player trade with the Astros that will bring starter Jarred Cosart, shortstop Enrique Hernandez, and pitcher Francis Martes to Miami in exchange for third baseman Colin Moran, outfielder Jake Marisnick, outfielder Austin Wates, and the Marlins’ 2015 compensation pick.

For once, trade deadline day does not disappoint.

Would you rather have the return for Price or Cosart

guess it depends on the situation your team is in..

When was the last Red Sox - Yankees trade? I can't remember a single one, although for sure I'm forgetting a few?

Gerardo Parra to Milwaukee

last three Yanks/Sox trades:

August 13, 1997: The New York Yankees traded a player to be named later and Tony Armas to the Boston Red Sox for Randy Brown (minors) and Mike Stanley. The New York Yankees sent Jim Mecir (September 29, 1997) to the Boston Red Sox to complete the trade.

September 1, 1994: The New York Yankees purchased Scott Bankhead from the Boston Red Sox.

March 28, 1986: The New York Yankees traded Don Baylor to the Boston Red Sox for Mike Easler.

@Ken_Rosenthal
Keep in mind on #Rays: Return for Price would have paled in comparison in off-season. Big-time club control with Smyly, Franklin, Adames.

So wait, what have the Mariners given in the trade? Because getting Austin Jackson is pretty good in any case.

they gave up nick franklin, which isn't too bad given their glut of promising middle infielders (miller, franklin, taylor)

I forget tampa has no goddamn money.

Re: Price to Tigers, Beane "had a feeling it was going to happen." Dombrowski jokingly texted, "You have 1 minute to acquire Chris Sale"

@beckjason
Scherzer: "Dave was right there in the dugout. He's on the phone with [MLB], and he's screaming, 'You've gotta get Austin off the field!'"

listened to a bit of cherington's presser earlier. dude is fearless. you can argue w/the actual players received but he was super clear that the goal was getting a head start on fielding a better team in 2015.

Posted 'HOLY SHIT PRICE TRADED TO DETROIT' on facebook and the trolling. Oh how it worked.

lol

btw there's an old-school ilx0r named car3y pric3 -- she said she often gets emails, in french, praising her play or hoping that her injuries aren't too bad

that took me a while to get, well played

& I live here (mtl) too which is the sad part

ruben amaro swings into action:

the erstwhile fausto carmona to the dodgers for two ptbnl/cash considerations

only fitting they'll be named later

rangers remove catcher chris gimenez from paternity list, designate him for assignment

zing

lol @ bnw

The Dodgers on Saturday acquired pitcher Kevin Correia from the Twins for a player to be named later or cash.

in kevin correia's single all-star season (with the pirates!) he had a 78 era+

he's not even left-handed!

Gordon Beckham to Angels?

Gordon Beckham to Angels.

According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Cubs rejected a trade offer that would have sent right-hander Edwin Jackson to the Braves for outfielder B.J. Upton.
