I wonder what the return will be

[bones10]

So it begins

[THANOS]

Massive overpay in-coming I'm guessing.

Source: Espinoza is going to the Padres as at least part of the trade for Drew Pomeranz.

 

Holy s***!

LOL we paid less for price. Obviously he has control but he's not worth that much is he??? Well that sets the tone for prices for starters

 

Also we know Padres are willing to retool. Let's get Upton for cheap, we'll pick up his salary tab

[Dr. Dinger]

Henry Owens was scratched for his start too.

Pomeranz is good. Prospects are prospects

[Boxcar]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Dayum

Dumnboski back at it lol

5:15pm: Lin tweets that the trade may be a one-for-one swap of Pomeranz and Espinoza.

 

Hard to dislike this for Boston. 2.5 years if a good MLB arm for a pitcher in A-ball.

I like it for both teams. I doubt the Padres could have gotten a better prospect than Espinoza.

 

 

Pomeranz shoulder has blown in the past though, and it was barking in June, could very well blow again.

Yeah, it seems pretty fair given what both teams are trying to do.

I agree, if it's straight up the deal is fair for both teams.

[43211234]

Seems like a pretty reasonable deal. Espinoza could be a superstud and is very young but his results haven't been overwhelming or anything this year.

 

This makes Boston better and they shed a pitching prospect, keeping the two position player prospect beasts they own.

[Laika]

"Man, the Blue Jays look unbeatable. Better trade my best pitching prospect for a lefty that sits 91"

[Jonn]

Hopefully more

[RealAccountant]

How many times has a pitcher from the NL West succeeded in the AL East

[L54]

This will be the true test of RA's theory.

lol Pomenranz averages 90. Pretty soon RA will throw faster than him.

[RealAccountant]

To me if this is the move the redsox are going to make we got off very easy.

 

I'd honestly take Hutch over a guy who had to work his way on in spring training, throws 90, and is about to hit the mother load of divisions. I suppose he is better than Clay but not by much.

 

Dumb Dumbrowski does it again.

[vdartanian]

I predict both teams lose this deal.

 

Such a Padres move, dealing an player who is about to come into his own for a bag of magic beans. Pretty sure Pomeranz won't sustain his success in the ALE although maybe he'll pull an Estrada

[43211234]

Hopefully more

 

You'd think if it was more we'd have heard by now.

[jays4life19]

Pomeranz is pretty good. I don't get all the hate. He's still missing bats despite his velocity.

He sits 91 on his 4sm. I'm not sure why people are bringing it up as a knock against him, especially from a lefty.

jealousy? knowing that we likely can't/won't add someone of his calibre

[JFD]

Their rotation still looks like s***, especially if they make the playoffs.

Better than what you kids are trotting out

[Sorrow]

As a one for one deal I like this for both teams. I have no concerns about Pomeranz velocity as he's missing bats, I do have concerns about his shoulder and him not really being a starter recently.
