July 30, 201510 yr So Cashner/Ross/Shields are the big pitching names right now, other than Price/Hamels? The Yankees could really use Hamels to solidify their playoff chances, but do they have the minor league pieces? Cardinals one of the few teams in baseball that can survive so many injuries...due to their farm system. Red Sox were really interested in Zach Wheeler, fwiw. Boston also hoping to deal Napoli...who's an 805 OPS guy against LHP. From 2012-2014, an 851 OPS against LHP. Good match for the White Sox there? Edited July 30, 201510 yr by caulfield12
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 07:56 PM) s*** is going DOWN tonight. Quiet now. Everyone's still wondering what the hell happened with the Gomez deal and who will come up with the best package for David Price...Yankees, Dodgers, Cubs, Astros, Blue Jays, etc. http://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tige...dline/30856131/ Love the optimism in Detroit, with a big picture of Urias as their headline story with the trade deadline approaching. It's hard to blame them with Price/Cespedes and even Soria capable of fetching a lot....and Rajai Davis and Avila will draw some offers as well. Must sting for Alex's dad in their front office to see his son auctioned off, but it's part of the business. Edited July 30, 201510 yr by caulfield12
July 30, 201510 yr If I'm Detroit I move them all except the Soria. The one thing Dom hasn't done is build a great pen. Keep Soria and move the rest of the free agents and stockpile prospects for their horrid system.
July 30, 201510 yr Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 8h8 hours ago Sources: Atlanta may not be done after dealing Alex Wood. Braves have listened on Julio Teheran as well. SP market still awfully crowded. I'd love Julio Teheran
July 30, 201510 yr Author We don't need starting pitching. If we are going to use chips, use it on a position player (who will be able to help us next year as well). I am fine with our rotation and if we want to replace Danks, lets do it from within.
July 30, 201510 yr I wonder if it would be a death-knell to the Rays franchise if they traded Longoria.
July 30, 201510 yr Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 57s57 seconds ago Sources: #Padres progressing on multiple deals, with Ross a key piece. Moving him would signal concession in ’15. But looking at adding too.
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 01:38 PM) The Cubs are aggressively shopping Starlin Castro. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/castrst01.shtml Woof, they better be aggressive, I can't see teams beating down the doors for him.
July 31, 201510 yr Almora and Alcantara not playing for their minor league teams tonight. Almost everyone expects a huge deal with the Padres.
July 31, 201510 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 09:27 PM) Diamondbacks awaiting word from Cincy on potential Chapman deal. Huh? the DBacks are buying? I know I was busy today but when did that happen?
July 31, 201510 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 08:43 PM) Huh? the DBacks are buying? I know I was busy today but when did that happen? Pretty sure they're the second hottest team in baseball. Buying seems dumb though. They're not even top-three in their own division (SD about to pass them). As a D'Backs fan, I'm confused by wanting Chapman. Edited July 31, 201510 yr by Jose Abreu

July 31, 201510 yr @ChrisCotillo: A rough outline of what a deal could look like: Ross, Kimbrel to HOU. Marisnick, Appel, prospects to SD. Again, unclear if deal is close. Houston and San Diego working on something apparently

Yeah I think the Angels are going to have to make some kind of move after everything that Houston has done to keep up.
