Diamondbacks reached out to the Phillies about Hamels.

Heyman says as of now the Rangers are the favs and the Dodgers just behind them.

 

[Frozenprince]

Dodgers don't want to give up their top prospects to get Hamels. Pretty much how everyone thought it was going to go. I won't be surprised if he does end up as a Ranger. Amaro trying to screw our World Series championship run.

Time to light up that David Price Plan B option.

Urias will be up in September. All you need is 3 guys for the PS really.

I have no idea what the diamondbacks are doing and neither does Dave Stewart.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Maybe La Russa is behind this...

He and La Russa have had the game pass them by.

They figure if they can go 42-23 the rest of the season and win 88 games they may sneak into a WC spot.

Brilliant.

 

[rando14]

Dbacks are somehow more incompetent than the Marniners...?

 

[brianjones]

dbacks pls

 

[jbug617]

Padres probably have them beat

 

[rando14]

Omg Dbacks are even on Hamels' no trade list

Lmao, Stewart PLS

 

[Frozenprince]

Padres probably have them beat

No way. At least Preller's moves, while stupid as hell, can be justified. Stewart is just going full pants on head retarded.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Padres probably have them beat

Rockies put them all to shame

 

[jbug617]

Victorino is gone

@PeteAbe: #RedSox say they have traded Shane Victorino to the Angels.

Edit: Sox trade Victorino and cash to Angels for Josh Rutledge

 

[brianjones]

sanjuro not gonna be happy

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Sugar Shane gone? Now Magic Mike Napoli please

 

[jbug617]

Cubs and Padres talking

@jonmorosi: #Cubs have discussed Starlin Castro with #Padres, sources tell @Ken_Rosenthal and me. Cubs have inquired on San Diego starting pitchers.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Cubs and Padres talking

Gotta think the Cubs missed their best opportunity to move Castro last fall. I thought it would've been dumb to move him then (at the time), but he's been beyond awful this year

Probably just a salary dump at this point unless a team thinks they can turn him around

 

[detectiveconan1]

So the Mets got Tyler Clippard from the A's for minor league prospect, Casey Meisner.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Mets get Clippard.

Kinda hope the Cubs can swing a deal for Ross, no idea why the Pads would want Starlin though.

 

[brianjones]

meisner seems like a pretty good prospect

sub 3 era in 41 games in A ball this year

beane doing work

i don't really know what I'm talking about

 

[Sanjuro]

Shane Victorino. Best Baseball Signing.

Never forget.

 

[darkside31337]

trading prospects for reliever rentals seems like a dumb fucking move every time. giving up a prospect for maybe 30 innings out of a reliever.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Hey, thanks Mets! A future #3 Starter for a couple months of a reliever rental? That'll do, Billy. That'll do.

Can't tell if this announcer is impersonating Harry Carey or if he's legit.

Kid looks good in green and gold.

Yanquis need to get Zobrist and kick Drew to the curb.

Beane won this one IMO. Meisner is a 6'7'' lefty who sits at 95 with a potential plus curve.

Meisner wouldn't likely play for the Mets as a starter in all honesty. We have a surplus of arms. But Billy did good.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Don't like reliever rentals but Clippard sure is better than those damn Torreseseses and the Gilmartin's of the world. He can close if Familia needs some rest too. Whatever really..just win some damn games Mets. ...and get a hitter too!!!!!!

 

[Frozenprince]

Clippard is having a weird year, too.

also Brewers wanted Meisner for PArra. Should have just traded him for Parra if we were gonna.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Forgot that stupid Mejia isn't eligible if the Mets make the playoffs. Thats one reason to get another arm. Stupid Mejia.

 

[Loco4Coco]

I know the Mets have an abundance of pitching prospect but Meisner for Clippard is kind of an overpay. Probably could've gotten a better RP.

 

[Frozenprince]

That's the only reason we got Clippard.

Should've gone with Parra.

 

[Chuck]

Standing O for Nick.

I want him back. :C

 

[Sanjuro]

Back to back lead off triples for the ChiSox.

HAH

 

[Edwardo]

Is it too late to just put a different starting pitcher in?

 

[Sanjuro]

OhhhhhhhhhmyyyyyyyyyyGAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDD

 

[Grover Cleveland]

lol

I told yall the Red Sox were going to follow up last night's game with a dud.

They need Pedro to get inducted into the HOF everyday for the rest of the season.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

I've heard good things about Meisner. Agree with might be an overpay.

 

[Edwardo]

Ohhh papi

 

[Sanjuro]

Baseball has been berry berry good to Ortiz lately.

 

[Sanjuro]

This fucking team tied the game? Oh!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Mookie da Gawd

 

[Edwardo]

Redemption time Joe Kelly.

 

[detectiveconan1]

Anyone know anything about the status of Henderson Alvarez? He had an appointment with Dr. James Andrews this morning, but I haven't seen or heard anything about it yet.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Lol Magic Mike. Barely 1st inning and got the steppin

 

[Malo]

Didi homerun? That's unexpected.

 

[zroid]

LMAO what a ridiculous sequence in the Sox-off

a broken bat single followed by two infield singles and an error

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Just a normal night at the office for the Sox on defense...

too bad it's normally the Red variety

Also, if it doesn't end in a RBI, Hanley's not interested

EDIT: Oh shit, Ogando warming up. Pale Hose about to regain the lead shortly.

 

[tim1138]

Will Iglesias go longer than six innings tonight? I think he's gonna be decent when he learns some pitch efficiency

 

[Edwardo]

I like the whole trying to lose thing
