July 31, 201510 yr QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 10:14 AM) I'm kind of advocating for trading Samardzija AND adding a bat. I think the addition of an impact bat benefits our club more than the substitution of EJ for Samardzija hurts us. Even with EJ, that pitching staff is good enough to compete. If they worked a good 3 team deal basically swapping Samardzija for a bat, they would basically be giving up the compensatory pick for a two month rental. I think they would be willing to do that. This is where we can agree although with Eric Johnson I'd like an extra reliever also. If Bucket of suck was correct the Sox had offers in place with Toronto and the Giants for Shark but both those teams have already got starters Price/Leake ) though Toronto needs another one but is our main competition for the WC . Padres , Brewers ,Seattle, Marlins, Reds are sellers we might deal with . Yankees , Dodgers, Cubs, Orioles, Mets , Cards, Dbacks maybe Pirates buyers.
July 31, 201510 yr Jays still looking at pitching. I presume it would be blasphemy to cut a deal with them for Shark (would be a proverbial waving of the White flag) but, alas, they still have the package to do it. Houston and Dodgers have the ammo as well.

Houston and Dodgers have the ammo as well. Do the Jays have anything left in the farm? Maybe they would trade Pompei? Not the bat fans might be expecting but a bat that can help with future teams. Houston and the Dodgers definitely have the ammo. Even after the haul Houston gave up to Milwaukee.

Speaking of Milwaukee, I wonder if they got any offers for Ryan Braun ?

July 31, 201510 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:18 PM) I'd bet my LIFE that this substance NEVER entered my body. Hey Braun for LaRoche . Milwaukee gets a lot of salary relief and we get over $15M off the payroll to help with the cost of Braun.Braun signed 2016 through 2020 , 5/$105M, Mutual option for 2021.

July 31, 201510 yr Doug Padilla retweeted Bill Shaikin @BillShaikin 2m2 minutes ago Hearing #WhiteSox talked Samardzija with #Dodgers some time ago but talks never got very far.

July 31, 201510 yr Cue random groundscrew guys in MAJOR LEAGUE... "Yeah, but they still suck." Or was that a Rob Schneider line in The Waterboy?
July 31, 201510 yr QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 12:53 PM) Hey man, it couldn't hurt. I'd take him . RF , power bat decent fielder signed long term .It's just that steroid thing that would freak everyone out, but we already have Melky so why not ?
July 31, 201510 yr Don't know what the offers were of course, but pretty disappointed that he wasn't moved.

The lack of rumors must mean the Brewers weren't interested in trading him?
