Could you imagine the reactions from the BFIB if this happened?

Make it happen, Mo! I would rock Harry Demeanors old Puig avatar in style.

Are the Dodgers trading for Chris Sale?

Please?

todd frazier goes to white sox

peraza shepler dixon go to reds

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS
montas micah johnson and trayce thompson go to dodgers

 

[bigosc2k]

I got giants/royal/cards

Just get rid of the cards from the mix.

 

[zroid]

Whoa Trayce Thompson is good

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Mychal Thompson must be happy.

 

[BFIB]

Wonder if the White Sox flip Frazier

 

[Malo]

Dodgers did well in this trade.

 

[Frozenprince]

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.

 

[zroid]

So... about Brett Lawrie

 

[HarryDemeanor]

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

 

[Malo]

So... about Brett Lawrie

He's going to play second.

 

[Frozenprince]

Ron Darling would be singing a different tune if Heyward became a Met.

Nothing would've made me happier than to watch the Dodgers bounce the Mets out of the playoffs. Hearing Ron weep on air as they packed their bags would be music to my ears. Unfortunately, life is cruel.

 

[jbug617]

Frazier is the only player going to the White Sox.

 

[Malo]

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal
Frazier lone player going to #WhiteSox.

 

[Frozenprince]

White Sox dun goofed.

 

[zroid]

He's going to play second.

Right, I forgot he does that now. Makes sense, his bat plays better there anyway.

 

[Malo]

White Sox dun goofed.

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

 

[Frozenprince]

Friedman is stocking up on prospects that aren't his to make a push for Fernandez. Book it.

John Manuel disagrees.

John Manuel ‏@johnmanuelba

Montas is the real headliner anyway. Dude has a monster fastball just needs to learn to harness it.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

damn Dodgers get even more prospects, Freidman stocking up.

 

[BFIB]

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

 

[Frozenprince]

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.

 

[Frozenprince]

Bruh come on Nightengale?

Peraza is a nice enough piece, but Montas+Thompson is a good deal better, imo.

 

[Malo]

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.

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

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

 

[jbug617]

Bowden shitting on the deal for the Reds.

Executives and scouts from both the Braves and Dodgers have told me they view Peraza as a utility player at best. Low return for #Reds here

Frankie Montas best prospect moved in three way deal.and Dodgers get him not Reds? Has to be more to this deal…doesn’t make sense on surface

I get it now: #WhiteSox got what #Dodgers should have; #Dodgers got what #Reds should have; #WhiteSox win now; #Dodgers later; #Reds Don't

 

[HarryDemeanor]

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

 

[Frozenprince]

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.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

All your prospects moved. The ultimate win now statement. Will be hilarious when it doesn't work out.

 

[Malo]

I don't see a deal getting done without one of Urias or Seager.

 

[shwimpy]

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.

 

[Frozenprince]

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.

Betts, Moncada, Devers, and Johnson?

Marlins are out of their damn minds.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Fairly typical for the Marlins then.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal
Immediate question: Why didn’t #Reds take #WhiteSox’s package instead of #Dodgers’? Rival execs think LAD did much better than CIN.

My same question.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Give them Urias. I was hoping the Dodgers would go all out for Vin's last year.

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.

 

[jbug617]

Betts, Moncada, Devers, and Johnson?

Marlins are out of their damn minds.

Anderson Espinoza was the third.

Yeah kinda hard to see what the Reds angle is here

 

[jbug617]

Napoli to the Indians. 1yr/$7m

 

[Ninja Scooter]

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

 

[Zoidberg Jesus]

Napoli to the Indians. 1yr/$7m

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?

 

[Meier]

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.
