I feel like the Dodgers did great here, but obviously they took on a lot of deadweight salary, which they can afford to.

dealing peraza makes zero sense for the rebuilding Braves, i know hes had a down year so far, but I think hes going to be terrific

Latos and Wood were solid additions, surprised at how little they gave up to get it done.

[TwistedLogic]

Successful teams like the Dodgers make moves that leave the world of baseball marveling.

 

Teams like the Phillies and Marlins call their fans dumn.

 

[Orgfiller]

Latos and Wood were solid additions, surprised at how little they gave up to get it done.

 

They gave out some decent pieces, but mostly just acquired all of the contracts that nobody wanted because they can afford to pay it. It's quite the brilliant use of your resources.

[DuckDuckGose]

Gave up some useful pieces but nothing at the level of a Wood or Latos. Going to be tough to beat again this year.

[sdyment]

I'm curious why the Dodgers took cash from both teams. Why not take better talent instead of cash? Am I missing something here?

[Angrioter]

Guess the character.

Chris Heisey for LF? Just DFA by the Dodgers.

Rather give the spot to Pompey.

[TwistedLogic]

Alcantara, Almora and Olt are all out of their respective Cubs MiLB lineups tonight.

[TwistedLogic]

Yeah, no s*** they'd be willing to trade Bruce for Wheeler...

[z3r0s]

Yeah, no s*** they'd be willing to trade Bruce for Wheeler...

 

That was my first thought, but Bruce has been pretty decent this year

[Abomination]

I wouldn't mind grabbing Beachy as along man in the pen. He could move to the rotation next year if needed, but he's probably not quite ready yet.

[TwistedLogic]

Parra may be going to the Orioles for Davies. Lookout Landing is the source, so it isn't entirely reliable, but they did just break part of the Brewers/Astros deal.

Yuck. Hope he's being used for DH duties.. his OF defense is awful. (-0.7 dWAR) And this'll make the O's farm system the worst in baseball, with the Tigers adding 3 pitchers for Price.

 

Used to be a gold glover.. but his defense has taken a dive after the 2013 season (injury? age?)

[jaysfan2014]

Alcantara, Almora and Olt are all out of their respective Cubs MiLB lineups tonight.

 

Padres bound with Starlin Castro for Ross + others?

[TwistedLogic]

Might see a flurry of action soon.

[jaysfan2014]

Might see a flurry of action soon.

 

And the Orioles look to be doing nothing.. except blowing a top pitching prospect for a decent hitting OF whose defense is well below replacement level now..

[TwistedLogic]

After seeing the amount of O's outrage over this rumor, I'm kinda beginning to really hope that the Parra for Davies thing has wings.

[G-Snarls]

White Sox want a run producing bat?

 

How's a bout EE

[Swervin81]

 

Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy, Dave Stewart alert! Dave Stewart alert! Get the trashbag of popcorn ready!

[Boxcar]

The Diamondbacks are really f***ing stupid if they think they have a shot to do anything this year. This is adjusted for the fact that I already think they are the second dumbest team in baseball.

[Brownie19]

Again, nowhere to play in Chicago.

[G-Snarls]

Again, nowhere to play in Chicago.

 

Yeah, you're right

[Swervin81]

This is probably gonna be some convoluted, idiotic plan by the D-Back to convert Chapman to a starter. Oh, and imagine Chapman's fastball playing for the "gritty, old school" D-Backs who love to "send a message".

 

Oh dear.

[bronson44]

Not that I want him, but is there any f***ing no-trade list we are not on? Imagine how hard it is to lure free agents here.
