Seems unlikely, but I wonder if the Yankees make sense for Mancini? Voit is out for at least 6 weeks...

 

If your first baseman is injured for six weeks and he is under team control for the next 5 years why would you trade for Mancini?  Seems like a rental would be a better option.

They can rent Chris Davis for nothing as far as I'm concerned.

Agreed. Seems unlikely.

Interesting... I wonder if Elias would seek to add bonus slot money for one of our guys?

If he does, at least it won't be a wtf moment because there would be reason to believe he might actually use it.

Justin Smoak, probably.

Can someone at least make up a report about the Orioles engaged in talks with someone?......

Less than 4 hours to go and I haven't seen a single report or anything. I just want a little action

I am sure that is what is bringing down his value, my prediction. .  I thought I said he would have an .800 OPS.  Anyway he still trails Villar in position player WAR.  

I think that is more a reflection of Mancini being played out of position there any significant virtue on Villar’s part.

Rays get Jesus Aguilar. That was one potential suitor for Mancini. Really doubt he moves. I still expect Villar and Givens to be traded.

Nice of MLB to gives us an off day today. Let the Hangout focus all it's considerable energies on the Deadline.

I don’t know what it will take to get done but Madbum to the Yankees just seems too much like a Yankees move to not happen.

With the Giants only 2.5 games out of the wildcard and this being Bochy's last season, I don't expect the Giants to move anyone of consequence.

If Texas wants to get real creative they can get all our slot money for taking Chris Davis.

With Davis hitting a homer yesterday, Elias should be able to get 2 top 100 prospects.
