WSD goes to 6 eyes emojis This is like Defcon 3 now

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 05:29 PM) I do wonder if there was a last second "can you top this" text from Hann to some other GMs. That would not be good business.

Phil Rogers saying Frazier is doing rounds of hugs and handshakes. Kane claiming it's normal pregame s***. Who knows.

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 05:02 PM) FWIW---- Red Sox in rain delay. DD came on pregame and said no trades are close. Said they would like to upgrade 3B and keep Devers down in AAA. Doesn't think they will address bullpen but said that could change closer to the deadline. OR IN FIVE MINUTES

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 04:57 PM) It won't be Devers....don't think much of a chance of Groome. Have a feeling Nightengale has set us up to be disappointed I figured maybe with the background issues it was possible. And it isn't Chavis...yet... I don't want Travis. Btw, Frazier had some comments this afternoon about wanting this just to be over. I wonder if he freaked out a bit more behind closed doors.

Frazier is still in the dugout.

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 04:54 PM) Is there anything yet beyond him being a healthy scratch and some speculation that it's the Red Sox in a package deal? Bruce seems pretty certain.

So the ceiling on this deal, in terms of any one guy coming back, is Groome, you guys think?

So who told Bruce something?

QUOTE (Quin @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 04:47 PM) Fake deal. FFS

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 04:45 PM) Deal done. Chavis, lakins, cash and ptbnl for Frazier and Robertson Nice

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 04:42 PM) Bruce said the money is right and Boston close to getting Frazier and DRob Scour the Boston affiliates!

Oh, so we're supposed to be here now?

Dave saying he hasn't heard anything

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 04:31 PM) Todd Frazier is a healthy scratch The hell?

QUOTE (Scoots @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 04:28 PM) So, we now have technically 3 rebuilding teams in the AL Central (I consider Twins still rebuilding), with Cleveland being a mediocre 1st place team and KC...not really sure what to think of them...not that they are good. This division could really suck it up for the next few years...and it also could be the most dominant one for the following 5-10 years. Should be interesting to see how Detroit decides to rebuild their system, as the Sox now have some competition in the rebuilding department. I don't know that Detroit can really afford to rebuild...

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 04:14 PM) Ya they just fixed a misspelling according to Fegan. A misspelling? This is game #91, Rick.

JD Martinez to DBacks for 3 middling prospects.

So our lineup has been pulled back.

Lineup card changed

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 02:55 PM) Exactly, but we've seen relievers come out of nowhere, pitch like this for a year, and then fall by the way side for one reason or another. You trade him now, you can probably get a top 100-150 plus a lotto ticket. You wait and he continues, then you are bringing in even better prospects. You wait and he flops, you are looking at a DFA and hoping to get a live body. I understand what you're saying, but given our newly-found depth, and a number of other pieces to move still, plus the stuff he has, I'd take the risk and hold if that was the offer I received today.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 01:49 PM) Makes it easier to put up with. It also discounts his opinion that he can't play third, considering he also said he doubts he can hit ?

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 10:32 AM) I'm not a McMahon fan, would definitely want something better. I would have to get Rodgers + I think.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jul 18, 2017 -> 10:05 AM) I'm not big on regret and looking back, but I think we're going to really kick ourselves for not picking Rutherford. Maybe we can still get him...Nightengale reiterating Yankees as the favorite over the Red Sox on DRob.

Heyman saying lots of teams asking Yanks about Rutherford.
