2016 Official Trade Deadline Thread

[Terminator]

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.

 

Yeah that wouldn't be a bad idea. You'd think he could come in and throw that slider over and over and get some guys out. If he doesn't find it we may not make the playoffs though!

 

If he struggles this month perhaps we'll see another trade for a SP during the August trade period.

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.

 

I agree, its pretty odd how they quickly gave up on the guy. He has something like 3 years of control left, and had bad injuries this year. Maybe they know something we don't.

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

 

No team trying to win wants Matt Kemp on their roster.
