#mets seek a top prospect (a "wheeler type") for bobby parnell. will not be unhappy to hold onto him.

Mets trying to rob someone.

The White Sox are telling other teams they're going to keep Peavy and build around him.


really now?

Sandy will get sumone good. Maybe the Pirates will miss Grilli

They should trade Sale if they want to build around Peavy. Yanks can give them Hughes and Joba to also build around.

 

[darkside31337]

Good pickup for the Rays.

Hopefully he's back at some point so I never have to see Kyle Farnsworth again.

Melancon will fill in nicely for Grilli. I think the Pirates may look for BP depth but not on the level to give up a top prospect for it

LOL, please kill me now. I can't take being a White Sox fan anymore.

It should be. They have no reason to trade him right now unless someone overpays. They actually have a really good starting staff and Sale-Quintana-Peavy-Santiago is not the worst way to start a rebuild. They are going to win you a lot of ball games if you even have an average line-up and defense.

Also read they are lookin in at Brian Wilson.

That's the problem though. The offense seems to think "Oh Sale is pitching today, bring out the whiffle bats guys, no need to hit today.".

#Athletics off Peavy, moving onto other pursuits - bullpen, middle IFer. Will dangle some of players they would have traded for Peavy

Man....

True, but they should have money to make it rain this offseason. If they keep Peavy, they probably sign a few mid level position players and hope to compete right away.Similar to being one of the worst teams in baseball in 2007 and making the play-offs the next behind young, talented pitching because they didn't blow it up. Obviously that's far from a guarantee again and probably not too smart planning, but I can see them thinking it.

 

[RBH]

Howie Kendrick or Erick Aybar could be a decent option for Oakland, but it would probably come at a price, especially for a trade within the division.

 

[BFIB]

I want that weed the White Sox GM is smoking.

 

[jbug617]

Rangers probably not going to make a move.

@PeasESPN :Nolan Ryan just telling GAC: "I don't think you can expect a trade to be made"

 

[Little Green Yoda]

I said it yesterday, but it bears repeating. Mo is going to overpay on Peavy. I just know it.

All these pitching prospects, and that is the best we'll get?

If he's giving up more than one top prospect, it better be a bigger splash than Jake freaking Peavy. I just hope he doesn't do a kneejerk trade because the team is scuffling right now.

RH starter? Come on A's, you know you want him.

if you squint he sort of looks like Mike Trout.

Thought the same thing lol

No

Hahn is a former agent and graduate of Harvard Law. He's too smart for all of us. It's funny that no one can get a read on him and when they think they do, it seems to a ploy by him to leak and gain leverage. Even the local reporters have admitted defeat.

 

[jakncoke]

Man i wish we got hitting help before this series started. This series is so fucking huge.

Mets trying to rob someone.

Why not they robbed the Giants 2 years ago.

 

[harSon]

What's with the White Sox's asking prices? They wanted two top level prospects and a mid level prospect for Alex Rios.

they are desperate to restock their farm system.

So what's going to be the big "surprise trade"?

Stanton to the Mets for Noah Sydergaard, WIlmer Flores, and n whoever else.

 

[Keylow415]

Barry Zito's contract is horrible. 6.8 fWAR with a 4.55 FIP/4.78 xFIP over the life of the contract. Giants got kicked in the balls and robbed for $126M.

He won us a ring so it was worth it.

 

[harSon]

I'm starting to come around on the idea of Stanton coming to the Pirates, although losing Taillon and Polanco definitely hurts, especially since Liriano, Burnett and Wandy are unlikely to be here in two years.

Wonder if we could swing Polanco, Luis Heredia, and low prospect for him

I'll be rooting for you guys.

They wanted from Oakland, 2 Top 5 prospects and also Oakland had to take all the contract.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

to collapse, right?

How is stubhub for tickets? I might try and buy tickets to the Dodgers/Giants in Sept.

It's pretty good. Haven't had a single problem buying tickets for Dodgers games.

scorebig is pretty good too.

 

[HerbertFish]

White Sox call up top pitcher prospect Andre Rienzo. Was scheduled to pitch tomorrow.

Nobody (except Cubs fans) deserves that much consistent failure.

 

[CygnusXS]

It's Brandon Beachy time! Finally.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Thanks Angels.

 

[JCizzle]

David Price is a monster.

Jake Westbrook really sucks at PNC lol

HOLY FUCK EL TORO 4-0!!!

This road trip for the Cards can't be over fast enough.

Arizona has been shopping Ian Kennedy and Jason Kubel, which wouldn't free enough $ to get Kevin Towers' fave Jake Peavy
