July 31, 201411 yr Marc Topkin @TBTimes_Rays 3m #Rays are indeed getting Nick Franklin from #Mariners, per @TNT_Mariners. CF Austin Jackson going to #Mariners
July 31, 201411 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 02:59 PM) Holy sh*t! Tampa just got fleeced for Price. I would have expected more than Franklin and Smyly.
July 31, 201411 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 02:59 PM) Jackson's going to Seattle. Nick Franklin and Smyly going to Tampa. Okay, that makes more sense. It was first reported that Tampa was only getting Franklin.
July 31, 201411 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 07:58 PM) The Sox aren't winning anything in 2015 anyway. It makes no difference. By the time the Sox have a chance to win the division, Price will be a highly paid free agent in another town. I wouldn't be surprised if they're able to sign Price to an extension, and then let Scherzer go.

Price won't be offering them a discount, so if he stays there long-term it's gonna be a mega deal that he would have signed either way.
July 31, 201411 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:00 PM) I would have expected more than Franklin and Smyly. Definitely.
July 31, 201411 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:01 PM) Definitely. Is he a FA this off-season or next?
July 31, 201411 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:01 PM) Exactly. Price won't be offering them a discount, so if he stays there long-term it's gonna be a mega deal that he would have signed either way. And they lost their best defender and leadoff hitter to do it.
July 31, 201411 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 09:05 AM) Deleted that post to avoid any confusion. Twitter and its lousy fake accounts. Ha funny how that turned out. Price is going to Detroit just without Zobrist. See what happens when you delete my post
July 31, 201411 yr QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:04 PM) That is an awful haul for Tampa, just awful What are they supposed to do? They aren't going to pay him, so they pretty much either take the best offer they get or watch him leave for nothing

July 31, 201411 yr Can we close the Trade Winds subforum since the Sox clearly are standing in still air?
July 31, 201411 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:06 PM) They could have done better. According to who? We don't know what they were offered for him.
July 31, 201411 yr Price, Scherzer, Sanchez, Verlander vs. Lester, Gray, Kazmir, Samardzija That could be a fun ALCS
July 31, 201411 yr There are surely minor league players involved in this. Murmurs that Taijuan Walker going to TB
July 31, 201411 yr That is terrible. Just hold onto him for the rest of the season and try in the off-season and or again at next years deadline. Brutual by Rays; Great move by Tigers.
