Feeky Magee Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Rays got less back for 1 1/2 years of Price than the Cubs for 1 1/2 years of Shark plus 1/2 a year of Hammel. God dammit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa1334 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:07 PM) I mean Drew Smyly is a pretty good pitcher. I wonder if they sign Price long term. Â Most likely since Scherzer is pretty much gone after the year right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa1334 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:08 PM) Rays weren't going to take Cespesdes' fairly expensive contract and deal with his impeding free agency in a year. They don't have the money to retain him. Â That's why the A's didn't get Price. Â Cespedes is a much better piece now than Franklin or Smyly ever will be. Â And honestly, Smyly is not any better than Tommy Milone. Â Not saying that the athletics should have got price, just that they added and subtracted and seems like tigers just added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God dammit. Â I don't understand why the Rays would trade him now if that's all they were getting for him. They had the off-season to look for a trade. They must love Nick Franklin or something...

Soxfest Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:08 PM) They usually do something. It's just their inventory of players to trade aren't game or team changers and there really is no urgency to trade them without exposing them to waivers. Who knows , these guys might play a little better and make themselves more attractive to teams in a week or 2. But right now, salary relief is probably the best you could expect, so why should the Sox bother? Same question goes for why should the fans bother.

1dog Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I am shocked that the A's traded Cespedes BTW...to rent Lester for a few months? Just doesn't seem like the type of trade the A's usually make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A's gave up a lot for what was more or less a luxury in Lester. They already had 5 solid starters, including 3 excellent ones.  The Tigers got better in the rotation and won't lose a ton in the lineup with Jackson (they will miss his defense though, they have no CFer).

Just doesn't seem like the type of trade the A's usually make. Â They're going for it all. Although this Price trade really gives the Tigers a good chance to screw up that plan.

Â Regardless of what is written on this board, if the Sox gave away Beckham, Dunn, Danks, Viciedo and De Aza today, it doesn't make them a better team. Besides, the minor leaguers you want to see, could all use some more time in the minor leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 This team is so weird. It seems like whenever I'm watching or paying attention, they are putting together a nice run or a win streak and they're in every game, yet they're 3 games below .500. Again, it's weird, but this team feels like it should be 5-7 games over .500 right now instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
