Chris Cotillo

#Padres acquire Kyle Bartsch from #Royals in exchange for Reymond Fuentes.

The Reds are listening to offers for Jay Bruce. Has anyone mentioned this? He would be a really interesting target, left handed power bat who was horrible after his injury last year. Could make for an interesting buy low candidate.

Definitely. Blame the down-season on injury, great player.

in the actual article it says Vmart was a legit target...Kinda scary if that is the case. Also interesting that Martin got offered 4/74.

Molina's been released by the Rays. Excellent defender and pitch-framer. Trade Navarro and Thole and sign Molina to be backup catcher plus Dickey's personal caddy?

Astros now added Feliz lol, earlier in the day Luhnow was talking to the media about why he wasn't added. Must have heard the chatter about going 1st and come to their senses.

This actually looks terrible on the Rays. The talented GM and the Manager are gone. Rays will bottom of the barrell now,

I wouldn't want him. He's so old and is abysmal at everything besides framing. Hits like a pitcher. AJ Jimenez would be better as a backup I would hope.

Anyone have an updated list of our 40man?

Why do we still have Tolleson on our 40 man? Much better to DFA him and get someone decent in Rule 5 draft. Can't see Tolleson even getting playing time this year.

I'll just lay this out simply. 1) Astros announced 40-man roster moves this afternoon. Feliz not on list.

 

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 45s46 seconds ago

2) Beat writer @EvanDrelich asks Luhnow about Feliz's absence from roster.

 

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 23s24 seconds ago

3) Luhnow responds: "It's a risk that we're wiling to take at this point."

 

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 11s11 seconds ago

4) Everyone in baseball starts dreaming of possibility of drafting Feliz in Rule 5 draft.

5) Astros protect Feliz 1 hour before deadline. Rest of baseball is quite bummed he's not available, but also puzzled by the whole process.

Luhnow's quote does have a hedge "at this point" which should be noted.

 

Awful org.

Plenty of DFA candidates.

[burlingtonbandit]

Plenty of DFA candidates.

 

Yup. 5 guys on that list who are garbage.

 

Lol @ the Astros...

[King]

Deadline! A little bit surprised at the lack of additions.

Jays added John Stilson, RHP to 40-man roster:

Martin and Molina on the same team would be a framing dream. Make it happen. Molina is slow as hell and can't hit, but if he's only going to play once or twice a week, it won't be that big of a deal in comparison to Thole.

[Smokey]

An out of shape 40 year old replacement level catcher with a .400'ish OPS??? Where do I sign??

[RealAccountant]

right on the dotted line where it says jays select the contract of a.j.jimenez from the buffalo bison.

 

lols

DFA by June

[Mikeleelop]

opportunity is the same as it was yesterday before he was placed on 40man

Thole is honestly probably more valuable than Molina.

Chocolate Thunder on a minor league deal wouldn't make me angry in the least.
