And you think trading for these two kids makes any difference at all to those advisers? 

I'm guessing that it gets their attention.

FWIW...Prado stats in the Sox DSL....

Cashner has been on a roll. He has tomorrow and one more start before deadline. He also has an entire career for other teams to evaluate. 

Elias has only TWO teams even interested. Not like he had the makings of a bidding war. 

Cashner goes out and gets blown up tomorrow, what happens? He goes out and throws 6+ strong does it really get any better? 

Teams don’t pay for Cashners these days.

Luckily someone was available to capture Elio Prado's reaction that he'd just been traded:

I'm guessing it escapes their notice.

He looks young.

They have an option for next year, however, so he’s not really a rental.

Should do a thread using all images from The Wire.

How valuable is one guy who has 32% of his team's wins?

I kinda picked up on that vibe.

He's no Steve Carlton.

If this was their best offer, why not wait a couple more weeks before trading Cashner? Maybe some key starters on contending teams go down with injuries which caused better offers to crop up. I just don’t get the rush.

Sounds like you were expecting too much for a guy with his salary/production. 

There’s a difference between “too much” and “more than we got” and yes I was expecting more than we got, and you were too.

That's for it to be a player option. He only needs to hit a combined 340 for the option to be guaranteed by both parties.

Correct....and if he does well...one could see him as a cheap fifth starter Porcello replacement

Taking into account the ethnicity of the talent acquired in a trade. 

That makes no sense at all.  Boo on you!
