He just learned additional players may or may not be exchanged? What a scoop. You really have to be an insider to come up with that.

It's a joke, they have an MLBTR Originals post they make all the time which is loaded with non-scoops like agent changes and close UT player signings and so forth. They're fed nothing. Their last big scoop was something ambiguous like "Tim Dierkes has learned at X team is going to make a trade" or something like that. All the other writers got the info, yet MLBTR credited themselves as providing exclusive info.

 

I read that all the time too but just because they compile all the important stuff. They've been trying to up their game but so far the results have been pretty sad. The info in this thread from posters here is far superior with regard to anything Sox.

f***

Kendrick back in the equation?

Kendrick back in the equation?

 

no

@nickpiecoro

Source says the three-team deal is done.

 

Dbacks will be getting Trumbo and two players to be named later, Eaton to White Sox, Skaggs and Santiago to Angels.

 

Well not as exciting as a Eaton/Kendrick trade. But I'm happy all the same, thing we got a perfect piece for this team. Him for Sanitago I'm okay with. I'm excited about Eatons potential and look forward to his grindy-ness

Kendrick back in the equation?

 

Nope

Ugh. Hope this Eaton guy turns out.

 

I'm surprised Santiago didn't bring more given the pitching market, but with Hahn & KW they will pull the trigger on a small-looking package if they feel they get their guy. Eaton is probably their guy, and I hope they're right.

WTF where are the 2 PTBNL coming from?

Dan Hayes confirms deal is being finalized.

Better not be any prospects be sent from the Sox

WTF where are the 2 PTBNL coming from?

 

Both from Angels. One to each team. They said that they would have to wait after the rule 5 draft

I like Eaton for Santiago straight up.

 

What is Arizona thinking? Trumbo is Adam Dunn. They could have gotten him from us for a lot less.

Eaton gets on base and has high baseball IQ, meaning that he is the antithesis of the guys the Sox are usually attracts to. I'm surprised and happy he'll be leading off for the good guys.

 

Now, what kind of catcher can we get for De Aza?

So basically we traded Santiago for Eaton straight up and the rest of the trade was between AZ/LAA. Not a blockbuster for Sox fans but we have a leadoff guy now. I'm just glad it was Santiago and not Q. Wonder what else might be done this week?

Damn. Was hoping the Sox would get more.

 

ESPECIALLY if we're sending a PTBNL.

 

And where does De Aza go?

Who is sending the PTBNL?

The Rowand worshippers are gonna nut when they see Eaton play.

FWIW, all the MiLB guys I know who have seen Eaton play in person have been raving about him.

I like Eaton for Santiago straight up.

 

What is Arizona thinking? Trumbo is Adam Dunn. They could have gotten him from us for a lot less.

 

They already had Adam Dunn in 2008 for about 3 weeks after the non-waiver deadline passed, meaning he cleared waivers. I doubt they wanted him back.

 

I dont get this deal at all for AZ. That's a lot to give up for a one-dimmensional player.

I like Eaton for Santiago straight up.

 

What is Arizona thinking? Trumbo is Adam Dunn. They could have gotten him from us for a lot less.

Yes. Santiago was by far the SP I would have wanted to deal. Fantastic.

We got grindy.

 

Holy s***.

I like Eaton for Santiago straight up.

The Lord giveth Mark Reynolds, the Lord taketh away Mark Reynolds. Lord reconsiderth, Lord reacquireth Mark Reynolds, moveth to OF

Eaton, Avisail, Abreu... hopefully three guys that will be part of the solution. Looking forward to watching some new blood for a full season.
