Sleepy Harold Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Could see why they would do that deal. Now, do they still go out and add one more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knackattack Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I feel like Oakland set the bar really low... kind of a light return right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Have Madson through next year and Doolittle through 20. Good trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reiks12 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 What the hell is Oakland doing? Thats a terrible trade for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeky Magee Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 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.

Especially when you bought the first 2 so cheap.  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.
