I hate when players do this. I understand you have your 10/5 rights but basically your saying you don't want to go to a winning team and have a chance to win a world series. And you don't allow your team to get an asset for you and they lose you for free because they aren't going to over you a qualifying offer. Perhaps he resigns in Baltimore... I don't know why he would that team is going to be a disaster for the foreseeable future. They might actually be worse next year.

 

I see where he is coming from. The O's have to either offer him a QO and give him a larger 1 year pay day than he would get in the open market or he hits the open market with no QO attached (not that it means as much anymore).

250k bonus pool, ATL picks up full salary.

 

Orioles don’t sign International Free Agents so I bet they can’t wait to flip that cash. Probably to the Yankees!

So the Yankees got 1.5 million in bonus pool money for Caleb Frare (who?) and the Orioles get 250k for Brad Brach. Okay

Sounds like an O's type of thing to do.

Duvall to the Braves for Sims, Wisler, and Preston Tucker.

 

What a pile of trash on both sides lol. I guess I like it for the Reds since Sims has been decent in AAA as has been Wisler and both are young enough to maybe figure something out.

Wisler and Tucker out of options next year. Next time they struggle it's probably a DFA. Maybe try out Wisler and Sims as relievers and see how that works.

 

Braves going to bench Acuna against LHP? And then bring in Duvall as a late inning defensive replacement.

Kinsler to the Red Sox.

For two AAA relievers.

 

Kinsler is such a badass. Just a consistently great player. People thought he was done 2 months ago but he's rebounded quite well.

Wisler was tried out as a reliever last year and he was somehow even worse than as a starter. Definitely the right way to go though, they've already done the same with Lorenzen and Amir Garrett.

I would have thought he'd return more than that (especially with them paying half his remaining salary). The rental market just isn't what it used to be.

Which highlights the genius of pretty much every pre-deadline trade the Jays have made so far.

No one seems to be moving the Low A players. Most of the prospects traded this deadline seem to be on the 40 or near their year they need to be added.

Control has gone beyond just the 6 years of service time apparently.

Wow, JPM getting killed on Twitter for saying a deal with Cubs and Marlins was close and then coming back 10 mins later and saying deal in NOT close...

 

Pretty funny beat-downs he is getting..

I saw that. Even non baseball people are slamming him.

Adam Warren (for international bonus pool money) is a good pick up for Seattle as they try to cling on to a wildcard. The Yankees bullpen is so stacked that they won’t miss him.

Well deserved. Trollosi has been doing this for years.

Keone Kela just got traded for 2 PTBNL haha what is this market

 

Taylor Hearn + a PTBNL

 

Hearn is good

 

Very un-Pirates though to trade a guy like Hearn for a reliever... considering their position in the standings. I don't really get it.
