If that's the whole deal, I don't get it either.  

They got two very talented but very young guys in Perez and Albertus.  It seems Dodgers gave up a lot in this deal.

 you seriously might not see the WSox even mildly competitive until 2030. 

Not sad about it.

Yeah, but the Cards didn't give up anything.  I keep waiting to hear that Beni's horrid contract was included (at least) but it doesn't seem that way.

It was funny when, despite having a historically terrible team, they still couldn't have a top 10 draft pick next year, but even as a Cub fan I'm starting to feel bad. If they botch Crochet/Roberts there's no helping them and they might be in the worst place a franchise has been in modern history.

Yeah I think the return from Dodgers is solid I just can’t figure out what the Cardinals gave up in this deal for them to get two solid major leaguers.

MLB scroll saying Red Sox have acquired Pirates pitcher Quinn Priester for perhaps Norby-similar prospect Nick Yorke.

[bluedog]

Albertus and Perez actually look like interesting prospects - 19 year old middle infielders with .840+ career OPSs. Feels like that plus Vargas is not an unreasonable return for Fedde.

The head scratcher is how the Cards get Fedde and Pham while giving up only Edman.

I can see Tommy Edman being a tricky guy to peg if he is a real MLB shortstop, just one that hasn't been on the field yet this year with an almost back prognosis.

The Cardinals have to have given up something or taken on Benintendi’s contract?  They gave up a hurt 2B.

Hilarious how much WS fans think their players are worth. Their lack of knowledge on their own players and how the market works is hilarious

“Fedde should headline with two top 100's or a bit higher and a bit lower. 

Glad this sort of delusion is not found on OH

Maybe WS fans should file for free agency

If the CWS trade Crochet, Fedde, Kopech, Robert, and Pham, they could be in the running for worst record of all time.  Just funny, that we heard so much about this when we "tanked".  Haven't heard much this season even though they are 27-81.  

The biggest difference between their suck and Baltimore's is payroll.  They're paying over $123M for this team.

[Ripken]

Justin Turner to the Mariners.

Guess they weren't willing to trade up enough for a better lineup upgrade.

[interloper]

What a wild series to be having right now. Double-header with the Jays bullpen already about to get overworked, plus guys being sold off mid-game, maybe even a chance to change dugouts.
