Nats interest in revere said to be very strong. Possible drew storen goes back to Jays. Tor seeks pen hp in return

Per Jon Heyman: Revere for storen about to go down, MLB source says

[Angrioter]

The Washington Nationals are reportedly close to trading right-handed reliever Drew Storen to the Toronto Blue Jays for outfielder Ben Revere, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network.

[Cyborg]

Yes please.

[spittin]

Woo-hoo!

[Angrioter]

Heyman

Revere for storen is agreed upon

[Dr Negative]

Good acquisition.

[Boxcar]

Allllllllrighhhht

 

BTS is pist

[TRM]

Any years of control?

[Rajais Mitten]

Wow like this a lot

[Jonn]

Storen is a nice reliever. We can use him as the closer. Just no Saunders in LF please hes not reliable. Edited January 9, 2016 by Jonn

[jaysguy44]

I like this. Storen is solid

[Angrioter]

Any years of control?

 

Only one, but Revere suxx

 

Tulo leadoff hitter

[RealAccountant]

Omg omg I'm so happy

[2lowitzki]

Sorry for blaming and criticizing Shapiro and Atkins...

 

I really think this is a great deal

[baseballsss]

Would have rather traded Revere for someone making much less money but this is generally what I wanted all off-season. In the short-term it helps our bullpen but the main thing is that Pompey gets to play and he has a way bigger future than Revere and is a really underrated part of this team right now.

 

He could be another potentially high calibre, cost-controlled player. It was so puzzling to see people ok with Revere taking his ABs when Revere added so little WAR to our team last year.

 

People were okay with it because Pompey wasn't ready for the show and needed more time in AAA

[JaysRap]

Like Storen. Don't like losing Revere but understand because of the $ involved.

[GreekFatAss]

I can get used to these kind of deals.

[RealAccountant]

Revere was expandible

Yeah I get what you're saying but it's pretty clear with the reliever market being what it is that someone good and cheap wasn't coming back. I'll settle for someone who is really f***ing good.

You have to stay off the nerve tonic.

Thought exercise... What would Revere fetch as a FA on the open market?

[GoldBull]

Good move. Should make us a bit better. Hopefully this means that they're confident that Saunders will be healthy (though I'm not holding my breath).

 

It'd be nice to see them put Osuna back as a SP in AAA, given the additional arm.

3/25? Maybe a bit high

Similar to what Span just got?

[KingKat]

3/25? Maybe a bit high

 

Derp... I meant to ask about Storen.

[King]

Nice deal.

[Pendleton]

Seems like a good move, hopefully Pompey is ready to play every day.

 

Revere was expandible

 

We all are.

[gbill2004]

Who's the closer now?

Not sure the lads are done. Scout tells me Dickey in play.
