Trade Watch (It starts)

[Machado13]

Maybe.. but Gomez is a Boras client.. guess who's gonna get shut out of the FA market next year.

But when combined with what alderson emphatically said (the deal fell through and WILL NOT happen) it signals a mets side rejection of trade

I saw Thompson earlier this month and he was unhittable. Monster.

Alfaro has been injured since early June and was still only passed by Mazara and Williams having incredibly strong years young kids in Double-A and the Rangers top draft pick.

Eickhoff developing power arm.

All of these guys are close to big league ready. It's a huge, huge haul.

Must spread rep, but thanks a lot for your insight Nick.

@ChrisCotillo: Pirates acquire Joe Blanton from Royals for cash.

Wow. Joe Blanton.

[scOtt]

So who has the inside track on Hamels or has the percolator decided he can get a better deal off season?

Because I don't know for sure, is Andy the acting GM or he the president of someone else acting as GM?

Word was Pat Gillick was still the man and wasn't going to defer to Andy.

Or he could be doing a CYA because he made a kid look bad on the field and basically burned that bridge.

Tigers become sellers?

Well now.

Brave new world!

Sorry all, I'm hours and hours behind....

Ok believe whatever you want.

For me, I take rosenthal at his word given what I heard from both GM pressers.

DD is got to be just sitting there rubbing his hands together. This market has worked out perfectly for us. These teams will be desperate as all get out come 1pm on the 31st. #ParraandLindthenwewin

I like Parra. And haven't seen Lind mentioned. He's interesting.

[scOtt]

I'm with you. Good choices!

@jaysonst: As this story explains, #Tigers also listening on Alex Avila, Alfredo Simon, Rajai Davis, along with Price, Cespedes http://t.co/W4e672A3gA

Rajai too. Cespedes doesn't do it for me.

[Machado13]

@JeffPassan: Sources: Atlanta may not be done after dealing Alex Wood. Braves have listened on Julio Teheran as well. SP market still awfully crowded.

[scOtt]

When I notice someone has been released I go back and look at their last few posts.

I do too. Like staring at a car wreck. You don't want too but can't help yourself.

[scOtt]

He's probably just holding on till Friday (DD) hoping a team gets desperate to move someone. Which doesn't seem like a terrible idea at the moment with all the options out there.

THAT... seems to be his great trading ability! Hold on and bluff til the very last moment. Like Cruz, Nelson.

[Machado13]

@JeffPassan: One GM thinks Thursday will be A.J. Preller Day: "All of us are just waiting for him to make five trades." Kennedy, Venable gone for sure.

Preller's style seems to line up multiple trades and fire away lol

@JimBowden_ESPN: What to expect on Thur:1. Dodgers-Marlins-Braves 9-10 player deal 2.Hamels deal official; 3.Tor get SP 4.Padres start trading 5.NYY Surprise

I think Yankees gets Shields. Price goes to Dodgers.
