MLB 2014 Season |OT| This Year, We Put Some Mustard on It.

And they got McCarthy for Vidal fucking Nuno.
I'm ok with this.
Taillon going down with TJ really put a damper on this season. We could have potentially had Taillon and Kingham come up to tighten up the rotation...

Solid acquisitions without giving much.
Headley is working out, McCarthy is too, if Drew is a straight replacement for Roberts its a decent upgrade IF Drew starts hitting a decent clip. I like the Prado move though, O'Brien has power but not much else.
Still think they needed a rotation piece, too much riding on Pineda and Tanaka returning and being effective. Milone would have been perfect, if the price was Fuld he was gettable.
James Russell and Emilio Bonafacio to the Braves allegedly
Russell is hugging people in the dugout
Edit, Cubs get Victor Caratini, catcher who was Braves' 2nd round pick last year.

Tigers get Price
Mariners get Jackson
Rays get Franklin, Smyly, and Willy Adames
I'm laughing so hard

the rays went from asking for all the dodgers best prospects to just giving him away

If that's all the Rays wanted, damn. We could've strung something together like that.

Cost controlled major league talent, its banking on two young guys who never got a fair shake with either of their old teams. Adames is a nice get for the farm.
I mean I would have liked more but the reality is David Price is a 4 WAR pitcher who has 1 year left on his deal at 20+ million and then he hits free agency.
Rays missed their window with the A's. Should have traded Price weeks ago but they waned to cling to their slim hopes this season. To their credit they played as well as they possibly could but couldn't make up much ground unfortunately.
I have no reason to doubt Friedman so I won't.
Exactly. No one from our top ten prospects was traded.

I think the Cards could've put together a similar package without including Taveras as well. Underwhelming return for Price after Tampa's original demands, especially since they could've waited until the offseason to deal him.
Victor looked like a decent bat, oh well. I assume this spells the end for Schafer.

I agree. I would have happily given them Miller, Piscotty, and hell, take Grichuk too if it meant Price in return instead of Lackey.

Amaro surprised teams weren't more aggressive. He said they were willing to eat money. Didn't believe players offered would help them.
Amaro surprised the rest of the league didnt want to empty their farm systems for their players. lol this guy.

Amaro thinks the other GM's are gonna do his work for him setting up trades.

Amaro was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Nobody was giving up shit for Lee - who can still be moved in August and they shouldn't dump Hamels for nothing, because unlike a team like the Rays they actually have a payroll to work with and have Hamels locked up longterm
Dude just needs to stop talking though. Not doing himself any favors.

I would've done both trades if the Rays had bitten.
Perhaps Friedman thinks (like Dave Cameron does) that Shelby is broken?

Can't recall a trade deadline being this crazy in some time. Usually we're getting floods of reports, but never one with this many trades. And ones that came from out of nowhere at that.

lmao, seeing Jays fans on twitter upset that AA wasn't in the mix for Price.
Nobody would give anything for that though.

Maybe if they still had d'Arnaud and Syndergaard. lol

That just means Jackson is going to die once he touches down in Seattle.

Does this mean Nick Franklin becomes the next Ben Zobrist the second he walks into Tampa?
Dunno but that is a good eventual player comp for Franklin imo.
He has serious issues.

WRT Bautista, the Jays should have enough quality to keep pace with the Orioles and put distance between them and the Yankees.
If the team goes on a bad run right now, it's going to look worse on him than it will on AA.
edit: OOF. Now being reported that majority of the team agrees with Bautista. Prado deal singled out.
