All NL teams. I have a feeling it's the Pirates.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Supposedly, the Marlins have suddenly jumped in on Jon Lester as well.

Give us Stanton!

All the :jnc's.

 

[brianjones]

that elusive W4

 

[sangreal]

Can't say that game was boring

 

[HarryDemeanor]

It's happening!

 

[jman2050]

What the hell was that?

 

[jakncoke]

Liriano cant throw a strike is tired and Uggla still strikesouts

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Tied!

 

[jbug617]

@GordonEdes: Six teams still in on Lester, according to source with direct knowledge: Dodgers, Cardinals, Pirates, Blue Jays, Orioles, Athletics

A's are a new one.

 

[brianjones]

A's? goddamn

 

[aFIGurANT]

Did Lance Lynn just call the umpire/Padre batter a "motherfucker"? Because I'm not a lipreader but that sure as shit looked like him getting real salty over throwing seven straight balls way out of the zone.

 

[sf2fanatic]

A's? goddamn

Im legit shook at that

 

[jbug617]

A's? goddamn

Im legit shook at that

Rosenthal just also reported the A's are in on Lester.

 

[Syrinx]

What could the A's even offer for Lester at this point?

 

[jakncoke]

Double play on to the 9th!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

What could the A's even offer for Lester at this point?

Billy Beane will offer the one thing he hasn't given up yet...himself.

 

[jbug617]

You think Beane would give up Milone for Lester?

 

[zulux21]

What could the A's even offer for Lester at this point?

better question... with
Jesse Chavez
Sonny Gray
Jason Hammel
Scott Kazmir
Jeff Samardzija

why would they feel the need to get a high profile pitcher, it would only be a small upgrade most likely for a high cost. especially with guys like
Drew Pomeranz
Tommy Milone
sitting around as back ups.

if anything I would expect them to be in the market for a second baseman, maybe a short stop...

I suppose that they could be part of a 3 team deal though, in on him to flip him to another team right away to get a player that makes more sense for them.

 

[jakncoke]

Man thought game was going to be tied there..

Took another from the Giants

 

[brianjones]

MATT KEMP

 

[HarryDemeanor]

KEMP

 

[Meier]

If he could just keep it up..two outfielders hitting regularly sure would be nice.

 

[kcxiv]

Hell, he's batting .282 at one point i think it was at .249 or something like that and that wasnt all that long ago. Good for a .800 OBS

 

[brianjones]

i don't think its a coincidence that the dodgers have kept the same starting outfield for 4 games in a row now and you're getting some consistent hitting

even crawford coming around

Ethier and Stasche is batting horrible. Why use them

 

[BigJonsson]

Amazing how the Jays win but so do the O's, Yanks and M's =/


And the Rays just keep on winning, ugh

 

[JDeluis]

Game going to end up ending around 11 and they're not even in extra innings. Puig hitting a homer would be worth the wait.

 

[jakncoke]

Apparently Rockies are keeping Latroy Hawkins, because?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

No cycle.

 

[jakncoke]

Also turned up down for Jorge De La Rosa

 

[HarryDemeanor]

 

[Mr. Enigma]

God fucking damn it. Two fucking leads blown.

 

[lazybones18]

Let's take it to 20 innings!

edit: Okay, 16 innings sounds reasonable

 

[thepotatoman]

God damn it.

I don't know if theres a more embarrassing way to lose a game than to give the catcher the win over one of our starting pitchers.

I hate this team.

 

[timetokill]

Kemp suddenly playing like he wants to be on the team

 

[BFIB]

I really hope after last night, Mo realizes this team just doesn't have the desire to go for a playoff run.

Craig looked fucking terrible. He needs to be benched now, and not even sniff another AB minus an occasional start, and pinch hit.

orioles didnt want to surrender elite prospect for rental star lester, may look at astros starters. http://cbsprt.co/1n2OonY


My Braves lost last night..... not looking good for us in this series.

 

[Doogdogg]

Uehara not for sale. Why keep an elite reliever when he is one of the best trade chip?

I am perplexed why the Stros would trade someone like Keuchel. He's exactly what they need.

 

[Sanjuro]

Keeping Koji may be the dumbest thing imaginable. If he had a another year left on his contract, sure.

Package him with Lester, get a larger haul. Both were absolutely incredible in 2013 playoff. They're both having great years right now too.

 

[Sanjuro]

Trade Lackey for Jeter please.

 

[thefro]

John Baker only needs one more win to tie Jeff Samardzija's pitching win total for the Cubs this year.

And he's a catcher

 

[Frozenprince]

Terry Collins on Wilmer Flores Grand Slam "It's not like he hit it against Cliff Lee"

I have no idea why the man wants to give the old wrinkle D to Ruben Tejada, but his strange love affair with him really needs to stop.

 

[Malvingt2]

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal
Source: “Very good chance” that #RedSox trade Lackey along with Lester.


Interesting.

 

[Frozenprince]

Trade Lacky who's on a team friendly deal next year instead of Koji who won't be.

Makes sense.

 

[Syrinx]

Nobody wants Bartolo Colon.
