Andrelton Simmons to the Angels for Aybar, Newcomb, Ellis + 3mil

[Boxcar]

This is what those racists deserve. Ohhhhhhh ohh oooooaaahhhh f*** you

[L54]

The Mets’ pursuit of a long-term answer at shortstop has been well-documented, and one of their latest endeavors was to explore the possibility of an intra-division swap that would bring Andrelton Simmons from Atlanta to Queens, reports ESPN’s Buster Olney (via Twitter). However, Olney hears that talks went nowhere, as the Braves placed such a high asking price on Simmons that it was “basically unreachable.”

Didn't they want Harvey or deGrom?

[GD]

They asked for deGrom.

 

How the f*** does Jacob deGrom = Newcomb + Aybar?

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 26s26 seconds ago

Andrelton simmons is traded to angels

 

Heyman is on the case! and he used a capital letter!

 

lol... wow, big trade man.

[Orgfiller]

Gross trade for the Braves.

[Dr. Dinger]

Complete and utter raping by LAA. Jesus Christ.

[L54]

Didn't they want Harvey or deGrom?

 

Yup. Even Matz straight up would probably be better than what they received.

[z3r0s]

Even if you don't like the deal, Newcomb is legit

[Spanky99]

Didn't they want Harvey or deGrom?

Yup, this is very strange, lol.

[GD]

Even if you don't like the deal, Newcomb is legit

 

if I go and check the DDL or LOD asset list, I'm going see your name next to him, aren't I

Whether or not you like Dave Cameron, #30 on this list was apparently worth Erick Aybar, Sean Newcomb, Chris Ellis and $3M.

 

Think we could get #28 for Ben Revere, Aaron Sanchez, SRF and $4M?

[Pulk_Pull]

Gotta have a higher cost to trade in the division, only explanation why it was Harvey and deGrom for the Mets and... this..... for the Angels.

Angels fans (people that actually follow them like we follow the Jays) are LIVID that Newcomb is gone. He must be better than you guys seem to think.

[Frenchsoup]

Newcomb looks like a reliever to me, great deal for LAA. Eppler is a force to be reckoned with.

[L54]

Braves fans everywhere are asking to at least have their hair pulled if they're gonna get f***ed like that.

Owns Newcomb^^^

Angels fans (people that actually follow them like we follow the Jays) are LIVID that Newcomb is gone. He must be better than you guys seem to think.

 

There is a (very s*****) FB group one of my friends invited me to that would absolutely erupt if we traded Sanchez.

Why would they know more than anyone else with access to his Fangraphs page? I've been in e-Angels land and it is not a pretty place. I remember calling people idiots for them thinking they traped Toronto in the Vernon Wells deal.

That's a nice farm though.

[z3r0s]

Of course, he's part of the reason I have a top 3 farm (maybe even the #1 farm)

[Boxcar]

That's a nice farm though.

 

Yeah, trading Bundy to some sucker really gave him a boost

"We got raped."

Not a significant reason

*shots fired* What was the trade again?

[King]

Nice of z3r0s to come in here and hype up his DDL prospect.

Attrition rates suxxxxxxxxx...

[Boxcar]

*shots fired* What was the trade again?

 

Was like #4 for Bundy

 

And people thought I got traped when I dealt Rodon for a stud 1B and future Tim Hudson.
