QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 08:00 PM) Keon Barnum doesn't get a lot of attention, but he really had a nice second half. He stayed healthy this year, which is great. Completely agree.

Beck very good tonight and he's done. 5IP 5H 0ER 0BB 6Ks 63 pitches, 49 strikes.

The youth movement has arrived.

12th rated prospect from the A's on mlb.com

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 10:44 AM) Sanburn looks like a nice get for Dunn. John Danks, front and center please. Yeah, strictly a reliever. he's 23 but should start out next year in AA or even AAA.

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 10:21 AM) Wilkins, Sierra and Snodgress in the clubhouse, per Merkin Snodgress trying to earn a spot for next year I see.

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 1m The Oakland Athletics are closing in on a deal for Adam Dunn. It's Happening!!!

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 1m Source: #Athletics front-runner for Dunn - and he will waive no-trade clause to accept deal. Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 58s To be clear: Deal between #Athletics, #WhiteSox not done. Per source, A’s lead pursuit. Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 34s Dunn would represent an upgrade for Oakland, which ranks 20th in runs scored in MLB in the month of August.

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 08:52 PM) There is zero doubt. It will be unanimous (or at least should). You know some east coast writer will still vote for Tanaka.

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 2m Through Adam Dunn's no-trade power, he can steer any trade. He is expected to choose today. Oakland might make most sense,because of the DH.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 08:38 AM) Yep. Too much smoke here. He's going. I could put with him for the last 4 weeks, but getting Wilkins at-bats is more important. With his season, you have to see what he could do at the MLB level. Dunn has to see that.

Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 4m The Chicago White Sox are discussing possible trades involving slugger Adam Dunn with the Oakland Athletics and Dodgers. Beat me to it flavum. And my bad, didn't know you posted the Dunn news in the Wilkins thread.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 08:08 AM) Please let there be truth to this! How desperate are the Giants? Desperate enough to play Dunn at 1B? Kinda makes me think Oakland is a more likely landing spot. Well if the Giants want to have Posey at catcher because Belt is out for the year I believe.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 32m #SFGiants, #Athletics pursuing Dunn, per SI’s Tom Verducci. Lot of chatter among scouts yesterday that Dunn could be on move. Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 31m #WhiteSox’s Dunn has limited no-trade clause. Teams on it not known, but #Athletics frequently appear on players’ no-trade lists.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 09:21 PM) Montas 5 IP, 1 hit, 1 unearned run, 1 bb, 1 k 60 pitches Wish there were more strikeouts but he obviously pitched real well still.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 09:04 PM) lol Joba f***ing with the ump. That was great lol.

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 08:49 PM) Eh, I could see Ale' getting offered Arb. He actually turned it around the past couple months. Agreed.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 2m Hahn on more moves Sunday: "Deadline is 11 o’clock tomorrow. So we are going to keep working and exploring some opportunities." 11am or 11pm? And are more deals in the work? For the sake of the Sox and Dunn, send him to a contending team to finish his career.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 08:39 PM) Scot Gregor @scotgregor · 2m Hahn says trading Beckham, De Aza frees up $10 million-plus for 2015 that can go to other players Give some of that to James Shields.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) For AA, correct? Yes

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 08:31 PM) Orioles acquired OF Alejandro De Aza from the White Sox for RHPs Miguel Chalas and Mark Blackmar. De Aza has good speed and can play all three outfield positions, making him a nice addition to the Baltimore bench for the stretch run. The 30-year-old was batting .243/.309/.354 with 15 stolen bases in 122 games this season for the White Sox. He'll be arbitration-eligible for the third and final time this winter. Chalas and Blackmar are non-prospects. Source: Eduardo A. Encina on Twitter Guess he doesn't watch baseball

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 08:29 PM) Is sierra even back yet? Rehab assignment in AAA.

QUOTE (BaconOnAStick @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 08:26 PM) Blackmar is a fastball/changeup guy who tops out at around 94, has a two seaver in the high 80's with life. Phil Blackmar, PGA golfer, is his dad. That's pretty interesting. Thanks for that.

Oh wow. Montas is starting tonight instead of tomorrow. 2IP 1 unearned with 1 K. Defense has 2 errors so far.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 08:20 PM) Blackmar has had a pretty decent season in A+. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=blackm002mar Chalas..... shares a birthday with my dad. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=chalas001mig Yeah I can see Blackmar (22) in AA next season with those numbers. And Chalas (22) is a reliever in AAA. Walks batters but only has given up 1 hit in 7 innings in AAA.
