July 16, 20178 yr Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal now Prospects headed to #Athletics from #Nationals are LH Jesus Lazardo and 3B Sheldon Neuse. Those two plus Treinen for Doolittle, Madson.

July 16, 20178 yr Good for the nationals... and I'm glad we didn't trade with them as that package ain't all that. Lazardo will end up being the best of the bunch but is still a crap shoot.

July 16, 20178 yr QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 10:13 AM) Have Madson through next year and Doolittle through 20. Good trade. I assumed they where both FA after this season... wow... awful trade Oakland!!!
July 16, 20178 yr QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 10:12 AM) I feel like Oakland set the bar really low... kind of a light return right) Yeah, I have no idea why you do that on July 16.
July 16, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 10:17 AM) Nats still don't have a true closer, but can't see them adding another big name I actually think the opposite. If I just managed to get those two guys for that, I'd be on the phone with Hahn right now getting Robertson for one of my 3-5 prospects.

July 16, 20178 yr QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 12:20 PM) Fantastic trade for the Nats. Surprised Oakland couldn't do better. Thats why some of us on here wouldn't be shocked to see Schwarber as the center piece in a Gray deal lol
July 16, 20178 yr What are you guys talking about? Both of those guys have tons of closing experience and are having good seasons.
July 16, 20178 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 16, 2017 -> 12:24 PM) What are you guys talking about? Both of those guys have tons of closing experience and are having good seasons. Because adding 3 good relievers would be better than adding just 2. Especially when you bought the first 2 so cheap.

July 16, 20178 yr Treinen and Madson don't actually project a lot differently going forward, Treinen is cheaper and Madson is 37. Doolittle for those two seems a little light, but Luzardo is the wild card, sort of prospect that could make a big rankings leap very quickly.

Right but they've been balking at the Sox price for like 8 months now, while blowing like a game a week. Clearly they didn't want to give up serious prospects for a closer, and they just got two of the Proven Closer brand. I'd be absolutely shocked if they ponied up now.

I don't see them "ponying up" per se. I doubt Robles, Fedde, and Soto are going anywhere. I think anyone else could be on table.
July 16, 20178 yr I don't have FOMO of that return, at least. But sure makes me bring down my expectations for Robertson.
