A guy with about 900 followers tweeted and quickly deleted that Moncada and Bradley were traded for Quintana... but probably deleted because he was fooled by a fake tweet.

I just read that user's other tweets and he seems like he's just stirring things up. Nice realistic broken English on the snap though.
Yeah the snap photoshop job wasn't that great lmao

Supposedly he was pulled from game and seen hugging teams. Twiw
Yeah, he was... if you count leaving after the 9th inning being pulled.

The Sox FO is more delusional than I thought if they honestly think that Shields is gonna bring back a top 5 prospect plus 2 other prospects. Never gonna happen.
Have you seen what guys like Cashner have been getting? It's entirely plausible.

where did Heyman say that? I think it was Morosi you meant

Sources who have spoken with #Nats believe they would trade Lucas Giolito to #Yankees for Andrew Miller, straight up.
Got the Jons mixed up. But, Heyman did say that NYY would decline Giolito for Miller...

only thing I can think of is there has been some concern about his strikeout totals this year. His K/9 rate has dropped from a career high 11.8 to 8.6 this season. If the scouts wanted to see more strikeouts, they didn't get it last night.
He's purposely pitching to contact this year
That Rangers package is not very enticing to me to be honest... I know we're talking about prospects but all the fan-proposed Boston deals seem like a surer thing to me than guys like Gallo, Profar, etc.

Sale, who has all the jerseys he discarded Saturday, is hoping to do something charitable with the situation.

I'm just not enthused with Texas top prospects we could get for Sale or Q. Boston or LA for me. Maybe Houston.

If I'm Hahn, I'm only using Texas for posturing.
Strongly agree with you two. Mazara/Profar/Gallo/Tate etc. does not excite me nearly as much as Moncada/Benintendi/Kopech etc. does.
