That's one target gone. Latos would've been a nice get.

[Dr. Dinger]

Meh, that's one buyer less for the other more desirable pitchers.

[HERPDERP]

Last week the word was we were never really interested in him and he was on the bottom of the list considering he was a rental + clubhouse issues.

Price or nothing.

[TRM]

Price or nothing.

 

...why?

Don't be so sure that they are done

Kershaw, Greinke, Anderson, Bolsinger, Latos. Anderson could be replaced I guess.

They could still rent Price

 

I would give him the WS at this point

[reedjohnsonfan]

...why?

 

Because he is the best.

[Dr. Dinger]

Price or nothing.

 

Actually I'd put him near the bottom of my list. Wouldn't give up a top prospect for such a short rental. Besides, Tigers probably aren't even selling.

[TRM]

But he's a rental

Agree. Although if they go the rental route, Samardzija would be ideal. It sounds like Latos was had really cheap, and Kazmir's return had mixed reactions, so it might be worthwhile.

Do we know what's going the other way from dodgers to miami? I won't comment until I see what they gave up.

[reedjohnsonfan]

We don't know the details yet, but it will be interesting. Maybe someone like Holmes who is still a few years away?

[Dr. Dinger]

It's probably low-level prospects we've never heard of, certainly nothing of signficance.

Latos had been told he was going to #Dodgers. Ken Rosenthal added,

Now hearing the trade is far from complete. Sources telling me it could be falling apart. Total confusion. #marlins

[DuckDuckGose]

Seeing some tweets that there was a failed medical.

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

And now they are saying there may be a third team in the mix! Wtf

Yup, it is a 3-way. Dodgers cleaned up. I don't know what the Braves were thinking.

[reedjohnsonfan]

Who gets bumped from the Dodgers rotation? Anderson hasn't pitched this many innings in about 5 years, Bolsinger has options still I believe or could head to the pen. Good problem to have.

Kershaw might hit the DL.

[John_Havok]

This deal still not finalized.
