Lynn and Kelly to LAD for Trayce Thompson, RHSP Nick Nastrini and RHRP Jordan Leasure

[Autumn Dreamin]

The big guy might be slightly underwhelmed by the level of defensive "upgrade" he's getting...

Still, I'm sure he'll be fine. Should be easier to keep lefties in the park at Dodger Stadium, which helps with his biggest struggle.

Is this a good trade?

This is about as good as you could do for these players. Whether this will actually make a dent in the White Sox's big league club is up to the future and the organization to decide.

Considering they weren’t going to be on this team in a few months, it’s a great trade

[wrathofhahn]

These signings were massive mistakes we were lucky to just clear their salary to be honest with how inept Hahn has been filling out the rest of the roster is why we are not getting any returns.

Normally I'd be happy with clearing these guys but the reality is Hahn has failed time and time again to be able to use FA to fill out the roster. None of his FA signing have much value to Benintendi to Grandal to Graveman.

There’s a 9 minute interview with Nastrini on YouTube. Seems like a good kid and he had a lot of praise for the Dodger organization. Hope he can bring some positivity with him.

[Chicago White Sox]

Very satisfied with this trade.  Glad they pushed Hahn to the side and let KW handle the wheeling & dealing.

Mike Clevinger needs to be moved

Surely he has to audition for teams after being out six weeks...plus he's still got that $4 million attached for next year.

It was mainly tongue in cheek, but its amazing how this organization doesn't even have AAA filler options at SP

Oh, for sure. It’s a very bad organization from top to bottom.

I'll help pack their bags so they both can get out of town quicker.

The happiest man on this deal is JR who got to dump some big unproductive salaries.

I was wondering if Leasure would crack our top 20 or 30

Bush here less than a day and already regressing, down from #5 to 6.

Has that been confirmed or just speculation?

Dodgers fans pronounce it Leury

But he is Klay Thompson’s brother.  Kidding aside, I rather get players from winning organizations like the Dodgers than guys from losers like the Royals.

Isn’t hasn’t, but this level of aggressiveness doesn’t feel like his style and he’s a super sad pout face in all his the interviews.  I definitely think KW has been more hands-on at a minimum.

Maybe this proves Williams is in charge and making the trades.  Reminds me of getting Alomar and Everett multiple times.

Nastrini's off season plans are ruined. Check out Spring Training video where he really praises the Dodgers pitching development program.

 

[Timmy U]

He was also really looking forward to playing close to his family in Southern California.

I want some linguini to celebrate the acquisition of Nastrini. Not a fan of Kelly and Lynn, Trayce is no good BTW.
