[gunnar hendershow]

You guys looked rattled after the safety.

[gunnar hendershow]

Cole Hamels is a Ranger.  It's a big'un.

 

FInal deal and its a doozy: Matt Harrison, Alec Asher, Jerad Eickhoff, Nick Williams, Jorge Alfaro & Jake Thompson for Hamels+Diekman+Cash.

Ugh. Toronto gets Tulo. Texas gets Hamels. I guess that means we've gotta go get Price. 

 

Oh wait, what? Oh, yeah, we have no pieces with trade value.

[Maxx]

Oh cool maybe I'll go watch him pitch...

*checks weather*

On TV.

[Meacon Keaton]

Yeah, the announcers for the YES Network won't stop letting us Northeasterners know how sickly, stupidly hot it is there.

"100 degrees at first pitch. Still 100 degrees. That breeze you just felt? It was my hot breath, because there's no breeze here. It's 100 degrees!"

[Maxx]

Meh, later in the evening it wasn't too bad, I was out at a rooftop bar, there was a nice breeze.  It was 97 degrees out, but it was a nice 97 degrees.  

 

 

[Meacon Keaton]

Fucking Blue Jays just got David Price. Good news is he isn't capable of pitching every game.

Toronto gave up Daniel Norris for him. Norris is one of the best pitching prospects in the league, so here's to Price shitting the bed in Canada-eh.

[Maxx]

Wonder what the Dodgers are going to do now.

[EddieG]

Wonder if Norris will move there in his van.

[DMN in the House]

Wonder what the Dodgers are going to do now.

Try and hold off the Giants, win the division, and lose to the Cards in the playoffs, like always.

If Detroit was expecting the same type of package for Price from the Yankees then I'm definitely glad they didn't make a run at him. I could see them testing the waters for Mike Leake but I wouldn't give the Reds anything worth trading considering we have Severino waiting in the wings.

Saw a rumor of the cubs and padres working on something "big". Any idea what that could even be? I don't really follow them

[Meacon Keaton]

I heard Castro going to San Diego, but the return was going to be James Shields, and the Cubs don't think he's worth his contract.

There's also word that they are talking to Seattle about sending Castro out there.

[Your Mom]

Yeah Shields isn't worth that much money

[gunnar hendershow]

Could send Castro to San Diego in exchange for Shields and cash to offset the salary cost.

[Meacon Keaton]

I don't know if San Diego is willing to do that though. Not sending enough for it to actually help pay that beast of a contrast off anyway. I think the mindset in San Diego is that of Miami a few years back in the "Oh shit we spent all this money and it hasn't paid off overnight!" sell-now mode. Padres want to offload Shields to some suckers willing to take on his salary without having to contribute. They likely won't find anyone willing to do that which leads me to believe he'll stay in San Diego for the rest of this year, and they'll decide to send him and money to offset his salary sometime next year when it may be easier to convince a team to pay the guy that kind of money for three years, instead of four.

[Meacon Keaton]

So from about noon on I'm not going to be doing anything other than sitting on my ass watching MLB Network. I'm quite excited, but today can't be any more exciting than last year, right?

[Meacon Keaton]

Gerardo Parra rumored to be going to Baltimore.

 

And the Mets are reportedly interested in everybody under the sun.

[Maxx]

Too bad, they're on my no trade list.

[Your Mom]

I think we can land David Price next year. He said he wanted to win with the Cubs didn't he? I'm not imagining that right?
