GreenSox Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) Don't like rents Don't like doing business with Oakland for players who have been on their major league team for more than 2 years. They don't have enough prospects for Alexei. Edited November 29, 2014 by GreenSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 @JeffPassan: Full trade: Josh Donaldson to Blue Jays, A's get Brett Lawrie, pitchers Kendall Graveman and Sean Nolin, SS Franklin Barreto. Deal done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDsDirtySox Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I just got a text from someone I trust that says Samardjiza to the Sox is about to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Hopefully Anderson goes nowhere. I would be fine if Danish is main guy going to Oakland. I could see Beane liking Semien. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Is the guy who tweeted that legit? https://twitter.com/search?f=realtime&q...ja&src=tyah just gives me Samardzija to the Braves rumors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 From a guy with a blue check mark: John Hickey @JHickey3 13m13 minutes ago #Athletics talking with #Braves about Justin Upton, Evan Gattis sources say. Jeff Samardzija may be the bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this tweet is true, and that they have a done deal already because thats what he makes it seem like, I wonder if an extension is in place. Of course, if true. Just throwing out hypotheticals.

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 If there's any truth to that, I hope the Sox didn't give up too much to get him. I've never really been that big of a Shark fan. Maybe there's a 3-way with the Braves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) Would hate to see us unloading the farm for Shark. He's a good fit for the team, but FIP and xFIP suggests he's a more of a mid rotation starter rather than an ace, but he will likely come at an ace cost, after Oakland trading Russell and McKinley for him.

Maybe a package of Semien or Sanchez, a lower level guy like Michalczewski, and a decent but not great, pitching prospect like Beck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's comparably to Cespedes in terms of low average, decent OBP, strikes out. Semien is from SF.

macsandz Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 FWIW, you guys are right. A lot going on. The next week or two will be very active. Rick and Beane have been in talks all week. Dodgers cooled off. Still heavy talks with Reds and Rockies as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
