2016 Official Trade Deadline Thread

[jaysblue]

Lucius Fox is a great name.

 

[Atothe]

Apparently the jays got Liriano

[Sorrow]

Robert Murray of Fan Rag Sports is saying Jays acquire Liriano from Pirates, re-tweeted by Davidi.

 

Liriano and two prospects.

[Abomination]

Pearce is a far better hitter and not really a slouch defensively, plus more versatile. Pretty disappointing that he's going back to that shithole.

 

It's a good move for the O's, I just think Upton fits our needs better. As I said, I would have loved to have gotten both.

[fatcowxlive]

Holy late depth batman, we're getting Liariano???

[Atothe]

R.A Dickey is definitely gone

[Atothe]

we get prospects too

[fatcowxlive]

Bobcat saying it may be Hutch

[Atothe]

Bobcat saying it may be Hutch

 

He doesn't know s*** but its looking that way

[fatcowxlive]

The two prospects back indicates either a salary dump or we give something up of value

[Cyris]

What kind of salary and term does Liriano have?

lol

[GeorgiaPeach]

Ugh

 

Upset over the Red Sox getting Fernando Abad. No idea who CarGo is.

 

LOL

[fatcowxlive]

We're getting Harold Ranirez #9 Bucs prospect

[Atothe]

Is Harold Ramirez any good?

[skirbs11]

Still would have loved to see a Dickey for Ervin Santana swap with us adding a prospect.

 

Estrada, Happ, Stroman, Santana and Liriano........Osuna, Grilli, Benoit, Sanchez, Feldman, Cecil and Biagini

 

 

 

I still think we are Shooting ourselves in the foot everytime we send Dickey out on the mound.

[Atothe]

Ramirez doesn't seem like much. Low walks, strikeouts and power

[jaysguy44]

LOL

 

Good one pal.

 

Did I not say "who's cargo? Gonzalez?"

 

Never heard anyone call him that before.

 

Try again

[Atothe]

Everyone knows that's his nickname

[thatoneguy]

Just about everyone calls him CarGo.

[jaysguy44]

[Atothe]

I wonder if Pompey is going the other way

It did seem like there were more lopsided trades than usual

[G-Snarls]

Also I'm quite surprised that Dombrowski thought either:

 

The Red Sox are good enough as is

 

Or

 

He would not agree to some of these prices for pitching. If THIS is the case he's crazy because mid rotation starters were being traded for modest returns. Elite late inning RP seemed to carry the highest premium.

what is Atlanta doing? (sorry if this has already been discussed - I was always all weekend and just catching up with the deals now).

They are retooling for their run next year. They have a loaded farm system and will probably increase payroll.

[Terminator]

I didn't really like the Indians deadline. That team is going to win the division and I'm not sure that adding Miller really changes their WS probability all that much. He was a good get but they paid a steep price to acquire him.

 

I didn't like the Giants deadline either. Duffy was a star player last year and is better than Matt Moore in his own right. Throw in the prospects and its a big package for a guy who doesn't project to be much better than Wade Miley. As for their other trade, Susac won't be missed but he's not a bad player and throwing in Bickford is a lot for Will Smith. At least Smith isn't a rental. That trade probably wasn't as bad as the Matt Moore trade and is something I could live with as a Giants fan.

Yeah they were garbage trades. I hate them.

 

I wonder if Toronto will try Liriano as a late inning lefty in the playoffs, assuming he never finds "it" as a starter this year.
