Trade Watch (It starts)

[Malike]

Dude, seriously? PMs are there for a reason.

Yeah, that post should probably be deleted.

I'm going to guess Price gets a no trade clause in whatever deal he inks this off season.

This is certainly true. Guy has got to be tired of moving.

He's really not that good.

David Price isn't that good? Only two pitchers--Kershaw and King Felix--have more WAR than Price since 2010. That means Price, third, beats out Verlander, Lester, Scherzer, Hamels, Greinke, and Wainwright, not exactly a bunch of chumps. And most of those numbers were accumulated while with the Rays against AL East when the division was undisputedly the best in baseball.

They did get Price. They gave up a lot.

And Price will factor into about 17 more games this year. What about the rest?

Interesting article but no love for the Orioles from Sherman in the Post.

Instead, Price is going to Toronto, pending medical reviews, just like Troy Tulowitzki did. The Yankees did not get Price, but their last big threat in the AL East did.

@Ken_Rosenthal: Per @jaysonst, #Cubs now shopping Castro aggressively. Fox Sports had previously reported that his name had surfaced in talks with #Padres.

@ChrisCotillo: Tigers thought to be on the block: Cespedes, Soria, Rajai, Simon, Avila.

JAIRO LABOURT: THE BEST BLUE JAYS LHP AFTER DANIEL NORRIS?

Hey, they have been bad for a long time. That's the formula to build the trade capital to go for it. One time.

Try 12 games. This is why Andrew Miller for 60 games > David Price for 60 games.

Compare David Price and Bud Norris for 12 starts. How many more is David Price really going to win you than Norris? 1? 2? There's even a chance he wins you less because 12 games is a ridiculously small sample size for a starting pitcher that literally anything can happen.

Really, these final 12 games, especially with all the September games where you can play matchup after four innings. I am not sure that Price wins three more games than Bud would. September 1 is five starts away.

If nothing else, I'd take Raja Davis. He's atleast somewhat of an upgrade.

They bought Price for the one game wildcard playoff game. They want a chance to win that.

I don't know... I think 7 times 12 is bigger than the 20 innings Miller pitched. Price could pull a Doyle Alexander, I guess.

Hey after 22 years in the last season of your entire Front Office's contract, it's all you can do. And when you leave...you leave not a thing behind.

Leveraged innings. down to leveraged at bats. There is a theory that having someone that is guaranteed to get three or four folks out every other day has leveraged value. Especially when you can have a 20 man bullpen.

Unless of course they need him to pitch to actually MAKE it to that game. Usually pretty tight for that second wild card spot.
