Mariners nearing a trade for a catcher per Morosi Tyler Flowers?

Best home run derby ever last night. That was a blast to watch.

I've always been a fan of Bruce, and I think I would trade Avi and a prospect for Bruce. My reasons are because he would bring a much needed lefty bat with power and can still play an above average RF. As he gets older, he can slide into the DH spot to replace LaRoche. This is totally out of left field but, here me out. What IF, Sox did trade LaRoche this year, trade for Bruce as a building block for the future for Avi, and then sign Heyward in the winter, so then Bruce and maybe Melky could interchange at DH. CF Eaton SS Saladino/FA 1B Abreu LF Bruce DH Cabrera RF Heyward 3B Davidson/FA C Flowers 2B Sanchez/Johnson

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 12:41 PM) Tell me, without any rumor, exactly what Bowman asked for. As LDF stated, his return he was looking for for Sharp was a 1st round pick, a young roster player on his ELC, and a top prospect.

Hawkins out of the line up for a 2nd straight game. Anything on that? Anderson out today as well. Carson Fulmer has been added to the Arizona roster.

Months hit 100-101 in the futures games. Surprisingly, he got touched up pretty well throwing 98-100.

Petricka has been fantastic lately.

He's out

Was that Reinsdorf in the dugout?!?!?

I thought that was a bomb lmao

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 04:59 PM) I want to combine them into Micah Sanchez. Carlos Johnson sounds better. What an at bat for Sale! Work a BB!!

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 04:59 PM) Carlos Sanchez is just a disaster offensively. I want Micah back up here after the All-Star break. If we continue to hit well, I will gladly take Sanchez's defense over Micah's defense.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 04:56 PM) Would you guys pinch hit for Sale here? No. Up 5. Let him hit.

I would of taken a DP just to get that run in lol. But that double works!

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 04:53 PM) Come on Flowers, need a hit or sac fly. FLOWERS!!!!

i can't believe he gave him the 3-0 green light

Alexei rolls over to SS. Calling it now

I thought that was going a lot farther than it did.

Alexei, 2-0 count, jam shot to the 2nd baseman. We don't know how to hit

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 12:17 PM) Good call man. I think Masterson and Kelly are along the lines of what the cubs are looking for and Buchholz left last night's game with tightness in his elbow which could limit the pitching market even more. Both Masterson and Kelly have been brutal. Masterson with injuries and Kelly being sent to the minors because he sucks.

Garbutt scored one less point than Shaw in 12 less games, and Shaw had PP time. Garbutt at 900K is a good deal, think Desjardins but a better scorer and he can fly. Look, Sharp had to go, we all knew that. The thing that gets the fans upset about this trade is including Johns in the deal.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 10:56 AM) no i disagree on this, b/c it is one thing to like the trade and defend it. it is also another to pick a situation to make it personal. i can see that trades were needed. i even stated that. i also stated that i was not a big fan but i would see how he does, as a gm, to this off season. this was stated in around draft day. i still haven't change my opinion. i also believe i stated that so far out of 3 things that needed to be address, he has failed in 2 and the success of the hawks will judge the 3rd point. ref to tallon, yes it has been 5 yrs since he is gone. but the main core are what he assembled and it is this core that the hawks will continue to win if the right pieces are added. it is when, my dislike for bowman or should i say people over estimation of him, is not being added when i am saying bowman is not helping. now, there is some rumors of crawford and team inquiring about him....... well i will not believe that until something more concrete comes to a head. but i really hope that is not that case. again, let me also state that i was willing to see how bowman get out of this situation of salary cap, players and asking for too much leading up to the draft. i even posted that statement here on this site. now look at this, this way, do you have confidence in bowman to fix this???? the org traded 4-5 dman. players who could have moved in the lineup and also help the salary. bowman screwed up Well, Bowman did retool the team after 2010 to win a cup 3 years later. Then, retooled the team after 2013 cup team and won 2 years later. So yes, I do have confidence, it just sucks that all of this had to happen.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 11, 2015 -> 08:19 AM) with his 4 mil salary cap hit, he is really unmovable and now, bowman gone and extended anisomov and adding 1 mill more to his contract. now that was done even before he even skated 1 game with the team. let alone if he is recovered from his injury. sharp rtn in the trade was far less than what org wanted.... he was desperate and to entice the trade, added johns to the package, in order to get it done. a savings of 1 mil. this is outing salary subtracted from incoming salary. now, the 2 hawks players who are waiting for some room to cleared from the salary, how is their future looks?? this team sure has gotten older..... giving away promising d-man, and look at seabrook contract coming up next yr. 1. Anisomov extension won't kick in until next year. His salary for this year is 3.2. 2. Sharp was 5.9, Johns is 925K (a lot of people figured him into line ups for next year). So that's 6.8 million, Daley is 3.3 and Garbutt is 900K (Dalls retained 50% of contract) for a total of 4.2. Hawks saved 2.6 million with this deal. 3. Bickell will still be gone I think, and if they can trade Versteeg, I think they still can sign both Kruger and Oduya. Kruger is the definite though. 4. As a whole, Hawks did not get older this off season. My projected lines Panarin-Toews-Hossa Dano-Anisomov-Kane Garbutt-Teuvo-Tikhonov Desjardins-Kruger-Shaw Keith-Pokka Hammer-Rundblad/TVR Daley-Seabrook Still not bad at all. Just a matter of the rookies stepping in and playing to their potential. Plus, a full season of Teuvo now. Bickell and Versteeg are traded in this scenario
