Oscar goes to..The Padres for RP Cla Meredith

[TCAlumni9700]

Roch in the comments section of the article didn't say no to Gallagher...and he seems to be insinuating its a pitcher...

That was me who asked that.

I thought the same thing when I saw no response.

Just heard its a four way deal with the Mariners sending us Ronny Cedeno, the Padres sending us Sean Gallagher and the Cubs sending us Donald Veal.

In an unrelated deal, Brian Roberts has been sent to the Cubs as the PTBNL in the Rich Hill trade.

Cla? What kind of name is that?

It better be short for something.

It's pronounced "Clay" but I suppose you could say "Cluh" if you want, or even "Claah"

You're gonna be freaking furious then when it's someone even worse!

Are you saying that Moose Milligan would be freaking furious? I was suspecting something more along the lines of pathetically pissed.

[PaulBako]

He used to play for the Red Sox. So they could have called him Claaahh.

[Roll Tide]

Well the Padres game is over ...Guess we should be hearing soon!

[Fan of Newhan]

Am I the only one who thinks:

C Gregg Zaun

U Oscar Salazar

IF Robert Andino

OF Felix Pie

...is one of the better benches in baseball? I mean, you get veteran leadership, strong defense and a respectable bat in Zaun. Andino and Pie provide solid defense and can be used as pinch runners late in the game, and Salazar can mash left-handed pitching and serve as a reliable pinch hitter. I know it doesn't matter now because he's gone (and Wigginton takes over that role on the bench), but I just thought I should point out the strength and versatility that we have (and had) on our bench.

Needless to say, I would've rather have seen Wigginton traded.

Ok, here's my delusional less than .05% chance it's true scenario:

Oscar Salazar/Rich Hill for Luis Perdomo

And then, the apocalypse occurred, and Andy MacPhail cried out in praise, "I HAVE DONE IT!"

[Austin]

Let's trade the Yankees, Red Sox, and Blue Jays for the entire NL West.

[TCAlumni9700]

Actually now I am starting to hope it IS Mujica.

[vab]

As an ex-Cub, Gallagher would seem to fit MacPhail's M.O. And if he pulled that off for Salazar, I don't see how anybody could complain about it. Gallagher's still young with a good shot at least at becoming a decent reliever and maybe a back to middle of the rotation starter.

He pitched today also, so I doubt it's him.

[PrivateO]

How pissed if it's for cash considerations.

Seconded .
