The 2 guys we thought wouldn’t be moved got moved. And Granderson and Clippard remain.

Source confirms Blue Jays trade John Axford to Dodgers for RHP Corey Copping.

Well, at least Axford got to play for his childhood team for most of a season!

Still time... I figured the guys prior would go.

You thought Loup wouldn't get moved? He was like our best reliever with Osuna and Oh gone lol.

[King]

Copping is rule 5 eligible.

[BTS]

I did not expect to get anything for Axford.

Another high K guy. He probably sucks but the FO clearly has a type, and I like that these are the kind of guys that they target.

That really isn’t saying much lol.

Copping seems pretty bland but that's better than nothing at all. I don't think he's a guarantee to be added to the 40 man roster in November.

Last two trades have been disappointing after the big first 3 (Oh, Happ, Osuna), but considering who we traded that's not a shock. Surprised we got anything for Axford.

[sdyment]

So, just curious. With the bullpen lacking today and since he’s rule 5 eligible, and he’s 24, is there a chance he sees the bigs this season to show what he has?

I would think so, maybe immediately given how many relievers we've traded.

Wat? you're disappointed in the return we got for Loup and Axford?

 

What in the sweet heavens were you expected? From what I've read, both prospects we got back have a pulse and thus represent an excellent return.

An outfielder with Justin Upton type upside?

Read the post man. I just said it’s not surprising considering who we gave up. It’s a boring ass day.

I like how this management is going about things.

This Copping guy looks terrible, much worse than that Phillies guy we just got, but I don't really care. Save a little bit of money and pick up a guy with options for org depth. Solid trade.

He's bad but has good strikeout numbers for the most part, I think that's all they cared about.

[Boxcar]

Oh man, what did I say I'd do if Axford got moved?

 

Why would the Dodgers bother?
