2016 in-season trade deadline rumors and deals

melancon to the nats for, in this insane reliever market, not enough

Insane relievers, in high demand.

except for papelbon

really not sure why the barves just traded olivera for matt kemp?

just a trade of bad contracts, only one of which is attached to an abuser

ah I forgot about olivera's DV-charge jacket, fuck 'im then

all things being equal the monetary burden on the barves isn't even that much given how thoroughly they've gutted the roster

Indians going for it: Lucroy and Miller

Lucroy has to waive his no trade and still no word if he's gonna yet.

Clippard to the Yanks.

@Haudricourt
Jonathan Lucroy has exercised his no-trade clause and vetoed trade from #Brewers to Indians. Details to come.

‏

@BNightengale
Jonathan Lucroy had every right to reject trade knowing that he's severely underpaid at $4.35M this year, $5.25M in 2017

@Buster_ESPN
Sources: Effort to convince Lucroy to change his mind and accept CLE trade will continue.

@JeffPassan
Sources: Jonathan Lucroy wanted Indians to rip up 2017 club option to get him to waive no-trade clause. Understandably, Cleveland said no.

NYY Miller to CLE

Zach Duke to cardinals for Charlie Tilson (meh-to-above meh AAA OF)

gotta say cashman showed his skills these last couple weeks

yes

nimmo to the reds for jay bruce, supposedly

idgi

rich hill & josh reddick to the dodgers

rich hill abt to turn into a pumpkin, reddick abt to go on a nice season ending .220/.300/.390-ish run.

dag harsh assessment

becoming less and less enthused about the pirates' return on melancon

fuckin cashman

tate looks kinda bust-y but regardless it's a pretty nice haul for a rental

just looking at his numbers and his age, that is. not sure if scouts are still as high on him as they were

cash undeniably making good moves - moves that nearly any GM ever would've made, but when you're overseen by steinbrenners one has to grade on a slight curve i s'pose

Twins going for it

not a big fan of the bruce deal for the metskys

probably could have just called nimmo up and gotten the same production

niese to the mets!

ivan nova to the pirates?

@AnthonyDiComo
The full deal is Jon Niese to the #Mets, Antonio Bastardo to the Pirates. Straight up.

lololol

oh mets

I'm having a heart attack right now. Bye Matt Duffy

lucroy to rangers for lewis brinson+?!

liriano to the jays for hutchison, which is like, whatever at this point

not sure why the pirates had to throw in a pretty good outfield prospect tho

drew hutchinson: come for the well-trimmed goatee, stay for the 5.00 era

And mcgwire (Reese).

Mat Moore!!!!!

well, shut my mouth

congrats to the tigers for acquiring the second-worst player in the majors (by fWAR)

at least they're paying him less than the third-worst, who is their left fielder

Appreciate the positivity.

Rangers release OF Josh Hamilton.

I got to wonder how much the Dodgers really want Puig. You would have to think the Marlins would be a likely location for him to land, if the Fish would want the salary (and or potential headache). They could use the bat.

I'd think the club that could be sharky and get Puig might be the Yanks as his outstanding salary is pretty affordable considering the upside.

@Ken_Rosenthal
Source confirms: Francoeur to #Marlins, int'l signing dollars to #Rangers, minor-league SS Dylan Moore to #Braves.

Ok like is all the puig shit

1) straight racism
2) ageism
3) puig is a legit crazy fucker
4) all of these (please specify percentage)
5) other

i was intrigued by the BP podcast where they speculated that whatever poisoned the Dodgers on him still must be secret.

I was going to ask about Puig too! I don't get it.

Heyman says the Dodgers just aren't interested in trading him: http://www.todaysknuckleball.com/nl/los-angeles-dodgers/heyman-dodgers-not-desperate-trade-puig/ Still not sure why they're leaving him in the minors for the rest of the season though

Puig is clubbing at AAA. Only thing I can figure is he must be too much to handle and are trying to get him to chill out. Considering the lunacy some clubs will put up with at the big leagues, that has to say something.
