Final Day Trade Rumor Countdown thread. (Deadline 4 PM)

[TonySoprano]

Smyly and Frankin to Tampa. Austin Jackson to Seattle. Price to Detroit.

[J.D.]

Zobrist to the Pirates. Rats.

[J.D.]

I don't see the Tigers pulling a Lincecum with Verlander.

Good. That makes them more beatable. Verlander is now the fifth best pitcher in that rotation.

There has to be prospects coming to the Rays too, right? ... Right?

[Reboulet'sStache]

Extension has nothing to do with the trade, we paid Rodriguez for two months of Miller. Do you even want to extend a reliever looking for a free agent payday who has a preference for Boston?

"Sure, I'll sign with Baltimore for twice what it took to get Danys Baez and Jamie Walker."

Yep, the Orioles aren't going to be successful paying guys like Miller their market worth.

[FlipCup]

Am I the only one who feels like Detroit did not give up TOO much for Price?

[canonfaz]

Which team is the team to beat now, the A's or the Tigers?

The Orioles.

You do understand how the Save Rule works right? I guess Buck could bring Britton in after 2 outs or something.

Are you serious? If you are in three close games in a row, you will feel compelled to pitch Britton in all three as it stands now. However, with Miller maybe you let O'Day close out one and have Hunter, Miller, Britton in another. That says you some strain on Britton and on O'Day.

I wasn't being confrontational -- just trying to get a sense of context. I don't really disagree with anything you're saying. I just didn't think, given the fact it was ST, he was dramatically different or down. I think the stat lines and some overhyping agents inflated his perceived "stuff". I thought Parks nailed it in his summary on the BP Top 10 rankings:

Pretty grounded will giving credence to potential upside. I still think his projection is in that range (tops out as a three, more likely a back-end guy).

So the potential downside of this deal is that the O's traded six years of (essentially) Wei-Yin Chen for 20 or 30 innings of Andrew Miller? I think I can live with that.

It is 4pm folks. One deal.

[isestrex]

Which team is the team to beat now, the A's or the Tigers?

It won't matter, we'll have to go through both to get to the WS this year.

[weams]

Ok. It's over. Thanks for playing.

[Il BuonO]

Smyly and Frankin to Tampa. Austin Jackson to Seattle. Price to Detroit.

That makes more sense.

[canonfaz]

Lol. Perfect.
