Trade Watch (It starts)

[TINSTAAPP]

Did you read the article about Cueto's last start setting off all sorts of alarms?

No I didn't. What happened in his last start?

Obviously I don't mean yesterday.

The one before that, against the Indians, he walked 6 and gave up four hits in 4 innings.

I had not seen it.

Well now you have.

For the link phobic it is a piece on Davis to the Cards, from the Card's perspective.

Just looked up Cody Reed and his stats look pretty good for a 19 year old. Seems like a nice "throw in" on the deal.

That's Arizona's Cody Reed -- 2014 draft class. This is the former Kansas City Royals minor leaguer Cody Reed:

Lefty. Reliever. Height: 6' 5", Weight: 220 lb. Throw in. Just like MacPhail says, get an extra piece in case the good one's fail.

I'd love to get one of their lefties. Have StL and Pitt bid him up.

I know some on here are pretty good with inside knowledge and sources from lurking quite bit.

Anyone have good nuggets they can share?

What does this mean? Why no QO & draft pick como?

Cincy cannot offer him a QO and neither can KC.

Cards article was interesting. Thought it was odd they included a 2B prospect though. I assume Schoop will stay put at 2B.

[TonySoprano]

Homey, your honor, there isn't anyone close to a Gausman or a healthy Harvey here in the KC deal. Not remotely.

Where would Harvey be ranked now across MLB if healthy? Preseason he was 68th while Finnegan was 55 according to Baseball America.

MLB.com had him at #34 before the season started.

When are the bats going to start moving? I want to see the Royals and Astros run away with their divisions and help bury the Twins and Angels. Also I'm really liking the idea of getting Jay Bruce. How nice would it be to go ahead and win our next 5 and just have Price and Cespedes walk over to our locker for the final two games of the series?
