For Peraza Shipler Dixon?
Yeah that's a nice get.
Don't understand the WS move to get Frazier. They aren't a bat away.

Wonder if this means Friedman and Zaidi are going to ship off an outfielder somewhere soon with the Thompson acquisition.
He's going to play second.

White Sox dun goofed.
Right, I forgot he does that now. Makes sense, his bat plays better there anyway.
John Manuel disagrees.
John Manuel ‏@johnmanuelba
White Sox's reinvented infield, with Lawrie & Frazier, should be serious upgrade on recent models. Sold high on Thompson, nicely done

Friedman is stocking up on prospects that aren't his to make a push for Fernandez. Book it.
Montas is the real headliner anyway. Dude has a monster fastball just needs to learn to harness it.

Almost enough pieces for a Fernandez trade.....

The Dodgers really had no business making this a three team deal at all. This just screams "I'm stocking up on pieces to make a splash move".
Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale
The #Reds didn't like the #WhiteSox prospects enough to get Frazier deal done alone, so needed #Dodgers involved.
Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS
reds love peraza. he was part of the chapman deal that was called off.

Bruh come on Nightengale?
Peraza is a nice enough piece, but Montas+Thompson is a good deal better, imo.

I know but Heyman corroborates what Nightengale said. The reds really like Peraza because, like you said, what the dodgers got back is the better deal.

The Marlins have sought volume in their Jose Fernandez trade talks. Few teams in baseball have as much prospect volume now as the Dodgers.

I'd like to see the haul headed to Miami if such a deal even happens.

DeLeon, Montas, Thompson and Verdugo should get it done. That's three top-10 spects and a flier.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
All your prospects moved. The ultimate win now statement. Will be hilarious when it doesn't work out.
I don't see a deal getting done without one of Urias or Seager.
Give them Urias. I was hoping the Dodgers would go all out for Vin's last year.

Marlins want bulk, not necessarily overwhelming talent. Remember, Loria doesn't want to have to pay even decent Arb value for these guys.
yeeep.
They want bulk and high end talent. They were asking the Dbacks for Patrick Corbin and a couple of other guys (can't remeber who exactly) in addition to what they gave up to the Braves for Shelby Miller.
They wanted 3 top Red Sox prospects and Mookie Betts.

Fairly typical for the Marlins then.

That's too much to give up. Fernandez is a great talent but he's got 3 years of team control, and one of those is probably going to come with an innings limit. Dodgers could probably shop a package around these new prospects to a number of teams to get a starter.
Anderson Espinoza was the third.
Yeah kinda hard to see what the Reds angle is here

I think they think Peraza is closer to ML ready. Not sure why that matters when you aren't a contending team though.

I don't follow the behind the scenes stuff a whole lot with sports, so forgive me if this sounds dumb, but why do this when you already have 2 "ok" 1st basemen and, more importantly IMO, the outfield needs way more attention? Unless they're planning to trade Santana or Johnson in a deal for an outfielder?
I don't follow the offseason that closely to be honest. I can't believe the Dodgers have resigned Utley for $7m.. that's nuts. I thought if we kept him, it'd be to the tune of $2-3m at most. We're going to pay him a total of $9m for this season?! Dude is absolutely washed up. This is insanity.
R.e. other discussion above: I'll be furious if the Dodgers give up Urias.
