Clearly all the guys everyone wants were clearly available and they obviously will pull them back now.

Yeah right, whatever.

Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski suggested today that the action is heating up, but that his team isn’t close to striking any major new deals, as Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe reports (Twitter links.) Boston’s chief baseball decisionmaker said that he has fielded five new trade proposals today alone, with other organizations seemingly looking to make off with some of the team’s prime prospect assets. But while ESPN.com’s Jayson Stark cited rivals as suggesting that the Sox were aiming to do “something big,” via Twitter, Dombrowski said that the team doesn’t feel pressure to pull off another move.

Blue Jays agree to trade for Melvin Upton Jr. I believe it was for a Single A prospect.

Looks like SD ate some of the money to get a decent A prospect

Blue Jays agree to acquire Melvin Upton Jr. Padres will pay down "a lot" of the 22M to go. @Ken_Rosenthal 1st

#Padres making progress on trade involving Andrew Cashner, sources say. He may be dealt before start tonight in Toronto.

Will be interesting to see who gives up what for him.

Jerry Crasnick ‏@jcrasnick 23m23 minutes ago The #Reds have picked up the pace on Jay Bruce trade discussions. They're talking to at least 4 clubs. Seeking a top prospect in return.

 

 

Chapman tells media he had just woken up from a nap when he talked via phone to Cubs management about off-field conduct, so he had no recollection of what they said.

 

What an idiot.

Hopefully not a team in the Sale/Q sweepstakes.

More likely a team scouting Gonzalez or Shields

Getting Josh Naylor in the deal. What the f*** are Hahn & KW doing.

This is really going to show how bad the market is. Rumor has it there's a major league piece going back to the Padres.

If the Sox don't take advantage of this to some extent, then f*** them. If you don't want to deal Sale or Quintana right now, fine, but you better deal Gonzalez and/or Shields. What really sucks is other sellers are moving quickly so secondary guys like Miguel & James may not have the markets they could have. Really worried Hahn & KW will blow this.

That is a hell of a deal for the Padres.

Rea is also going to the Marlins

Rea and his 5 ERA and 1.46 WHIP.

 

Still, I don't know the comps that the Sox have to Cashner. They may not want to eat salary on Shields, which would be required to move him.

Just those two numbers? He is 26 and under team control. You should be totally in love with him and his mediocrity

Comparing a 5 ERA to Trayce Thompson and Marcus Semien? LOL Good one.

 

Meanwhile, your man Rick Hahn, with all of his "proven veterans" has "Gone for it" 2 years in a row...and has delivered what exactly?

Oh did I compare them? It's funny now that I think about it though, you don't seem to beat your chest about those two anymore. Why is that? You used to love to drop into threads and throw their numbers around and then disappear, but it doesn't seem to happen so much anymore. So strange.

 

My guy, Rick Hahn. You got it.
