no clue I wasn't sure why the twins would be trading for a 3/4 starter... and then I saw what they gave up and was like... well if I was the twins I would make that trade as well, worst case I can move him again in the offseason

Who knows. I mean I guess I'd rather him than Verrett.
Also wtf has been this trade deadline

I can't believe the Phillies held onto Hellickson. They sure could have gotten a better return than a comp piick?
Overall there wasn't a single starting pitcher worth a damn traded besides Hill who is currently injured.
Weird deadline this year. But with that weak ass FA class this year, the Winter Meetings will be just pure craziness.

Not sure who is more valuable, at this point. I know that Herrera was regressing a bit.
But really, Herrera for Bruce is a trade you can't be disappointed with.
I'm kind of surprised that the white sox couldn't get anyone to bite on Justin Morneau or Matt Albers though.
they wouldn't have gotten a ton, but morneau is showing some pop in his bat, and while albers has sucked the last two months, he was dominate for a while, and given how hot the reviler market was surprised no one was willing to take a chance for a throw away prospect.
yeah don't get that one, you had to at least gotten one offer for a high rated prospect and another add in or two for a starting pitcher putting a season together like he is.

Nothing else from the Astros except dealing Feldman.
Which is good, because I was kinda expecting them to overpay for something. Frees up a spot on the 40-man to bring up someone who was waiting in the wings.
I'm kinda surprised the Feldman deal wasn't done last year.

If your have told me, today, that our deadline would be this bad I wouldn't have believed you.

My sister just texted me, Reds ship off Bruce and Cozy?
Did we actually make good trades for once?

You're overreacting a bit. I don't love it but it's not as bad as you're making it out to be.

Really nice return for Matt Moore. Shocked. I hope Lucius Fox pans out just for some shitty Batman jokes.

Morneau would have made perfect sense for some teams including as a bat off the bench in the NL
I think he and Shields are still candidates to get traded in August because no non contender will claim Morneau and Shields will be not claimed at all.
Nah. We just got rid of our offense, we coming for that top ten pick.
Tank thrusters are on.
A ton.
Is there an avatar bet for the subway series this year? I need more moe A-Rod
I have no idea what you thought this team would accomplish at the deadline, unless you wanted to give up Rosario or Smith. And wisely, Alderson didn't do that.
Instead, they got someone with one of the highest OPS with RISP in the league right now, and just traded Bastardo for Niese.
All they really gave up is Herrera. Even got to keep Nimmo.
Not that bad if you ask me.
Damn. That's a nice haul.

Matt Moore in the NL in that ballpark will be really good. but Jesus Christ that is some return for TB.

I wanted then to do nothing. Bruce is a replacement level player at this stage of his career. And niese has been the worst pitcher in baseball this year.

Is Granderson a FA after this season?
I think next year is his last
in regards to shields... is the 16mil the padres are paying the white sox for him included in a wavier claim or if someone claimed him could the white sox dump him and keep the money from the padres?
if it is uncluded it seems unlikely he would get through wavers, if it is not then he would clear no problem.
either way I don't see morneau clearing.
a proven left handed power bat that is showing he still has some in the tank for a cheap contract. someone would bite on that.
really though there isn't a huge reason to move shields right now though unless you really think after those couple of really bad starts that he will continue to be good enough that he would walk away from his guranteed money to aim for more.
really I think he will just be happy and not opt out of his contract.
righty Michael Santos instead.
Very glad that the Red Sox didn't give up any of Moncada, Benitendi, Devers, Kopech, etc at this deadline. Everyone knows they don't have enough pitching, but there wasn't a guy out there who would've made a big enough difference. It's been fun watching the kids round into shape this year.
They probably have to ship one of these positional prospects off at some point, but no rush.
