Drew Hutchison to Pirates

Searage will fix him. I don't think Liriano is guaranteed to be better than him tbh.

 

[PROh1bited]

Drew Hutchison to Pirates

He's gonna turn into something great now.

 

[wbsmcs]

From @BlueBirdStats on Twitter....

FWIW on Liriano, the catcher he's had the most success with in his career... Russell Martin (2.92 ERA with Martin behind the plate)

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Hutchinson was very disappointing for us last year.

That's nice.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

So the Braves traded....nobody?

How are you gonna spell his name next? Lol. Oh well he's not good enough for people to remember.

Hard to believe, huh?

Hey man. I tried

 

[wbsmcs]

Harold Ramirez, Pirates 9th rated prospect going to Jays. Currently a AA outfielder.

 

[PROh1bited]

Harold Ramirez to the Jays.

I'm guessing the Jays are taking on the entire contract.

Pirates are only getting Hutchison.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

We traded Matt Duffy??!??!???

 

[Dominican Power]

PiratesGAF fill me in

What's Liriano like?

Liriano in The AL East? LMAOOOOOOOO

 

[XiaNaphryz]

We traded Matt Duffy??!??!???

Time for Arroyo to win ROTY whenever he gets called up.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

We traded Matt Duffy??!??!???

You traded Matt Duffy.

 

[wbsmcs]

What rankings are you looking at? Baseball Prospectus has him at #6 and Fangraphs at #5

The one on MLB.com, probably not as reliable though.

 

[Dominican Power]

Who did The Yankees get for Nova?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Harold Ramirez, Pirates 9th rated prospect going to Jays. Currently a AA outfielder.

That's promising

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Cards got Duke and that's it? I'm gonna lose this avatar bet for sure.

Compared to the deadlines of other NL contenders (Mets, Marlins), I think we did pretty good by just getting Duke!

We have 9 games vs the Reds, Brewers, and Braves coming up, then the Cubs. Big stretch of games. Getting Moss, Peralta, and Marp all back within the next week should help, too

 

[wbsmcs]

That's promising

Yea, I mean I guess this could be a good deal. I don't like giving up on Hutch this early, but then again, Liriano could be serviceable for the next year and a half. I know everyone talks about Ray Searage, but Pete Walker is also a great pitching coach. Happ loves him and was happy to have him back. Estrada had a huge homerun problem too back in Milwaukee and he hasn't gotten massacred in the ALE. Fingers crossed. Getting these prospects doesn't exactly hurt either.

 

[Lexxism]

They only traded Hutchison to get Liriano and two prospects. That's not really a bad deal.

 

[Corran Horn]

Here you go rays gaf. Just someone Photoshop the team lol

I trust Pete Walker to get Liriano back on track.

 

[Corran Horn]

We traded Matt Duffy??!??!???

He wasn't doing well when he played this year and we got people to play the position. Not surprised here, glad it's Duffy and not Panik.

 

[jello44]

Oh, the Astros traded Josh Fields too.

Hoyt probably getting the call.

 

[nillapuddin]

"Reds now have Jose Peraza, Dilson Herrera, and Alfredo Rodriguez. All 22 years old, all near big league ready."

"They also still have Zack Cozart and Brandon Phillips, meaning that none of the three young middle infielders have any place to play. #Reds"

sigh

Farewell Jay, will always love him

this was one of the greatest moments of my life (sports)

Don't care too much about the Bruce trade ...then I looked at tonights ass-tastic lineup and wished Bruce was in it.

That lineup is going to put up a seven spot on the Yankees.

 

[zroid]

Sanchez will make 1-2 more starts, apparently

 

[PROh1bited]

Jays taking on entire Liriano contract.

The 2nd prospect is Reese McGuire.

So they got 2 of Pirates top 10 prospects.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

So so so happy DD didn't pull a DD

Of course, the Sox need a starter (two). But the market is insane for what is at most marginal returns right now.

Rather not mortgage the future for a very slim chance of winning now.

I get not wanting to pay up prospect wise but how are Sale/Quintana marginal returns?
If the Red Sox make the playoffs their rotation would be Price/Pomeranz/Wright/Porcello
to compete against the Indians with their stacked rotation.

 

[CygnusXS]

I'd take MLB Pipeline over the last Fangraphs rankings, that's for sure.

Whoa

 

[Lexxism]

Based on fangraphs, they are #3 and #5 in Pirates prospects. That's actually a good trade!

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Wow Holy Shit.

Atkins and Shapiro Hustled the Pirates

 

[wbsmcs]

So the Jays just doubled the amount of top 100 prospects they had.

 

[GK86]

What were the Pirates thinking?

 

[CygnusXS]

What were the Pirates thinking?

They really, really wanted to dump Liriano's contract? My question is, where was Atlanta? Would have loved to have gotten McGuire.

 

[Chris R]

Ugh, of course the Rangers make the big moves.

 

[CheDominik]

What were the Pirates thinking?

They are a historically cheap franchise. Saving money is reason enough for them to do stupid shit.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Pirates getting hustled in a trade used to be a yearly tradition!

 

[chicagocubsfan]

What are the Bucs doing?

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

No no no no. Losing Fox and Duffy hurts. Blah *overreacting nonsense*.

Susac, meh. Bickford, ehhhhhh.

 

[Hogger]

Who did The Yankees get for Nova?

No one has been named yet.

PUIG DRAMA

http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/story/dodgers-leave-yasiel-puig-behind-as-they-head-to-colorado-080116

Yasiel Puig did not travel with the Dodgers on Monday when they flew to Denver for a three-game series against the Rockies.

Puig, 25, stormed off after arriving at Dodger Stadium and being informed that he would either be traded or sent to the minors, according to major-league sources.

He was not traded before the non-waiver deadline at 4 p.m. ET, but the team’s immediate plan for him is unclear.

Club officials declined comment.

Welp, Doyers fucked that up

 

[rinse82]

I see you, Ross Atkins

*nods*

 

[CosmicQueso]

Oh, Puig.

Reddick is the ultimate team guy. A positive, encouraging leader on a ballclub.

On the other side, you have Puig. The ultimate selfish player.

Dude's his own worst enemy.
