Abel Wingnut posted:polanco hasn't been THAT bad, has he? Not great, but it seems reasonable to think it's gonna be tough to win a division while playing a not-quite-there player every day. Especially now that Jordy Mercer is hurt. They can trade for an infielder, or call up a no-bat minor leaguer and replace their current small-bat OF to minimize the hit to the lineup. We should trade for Tulo. (ha ha ha)

Manny Parra got put on the DL today, he probably would have been a decent lefty for a throw away prospect for someone.

FairGame posted:The Pirates absolutely need to go for it right now, and I write that as someone who wants the Cardinals to win the division so they don't have to face Madison Bumgarner or Jacob deGrom in a one-game playoff. I agree. I appreciate the value of 'prospect hugging' but gently caress it. This year they absolutely have the potential to win it all. Flags fly forever.

gotta laugh at the mets front office jerking us off yet again by attaching trade rumor to everyone but in the end won't get a single loving upgrade to cure the now-legendary bad offense normally I'd say take upton but if he can just walk in a few months what's the loving point. might as well wait til next year and try to buy upton or cespedes or encarnacion

I was unaware he had a job within the organization!

It seems like the Jays have been linked to every pitcher in the majors. The other day, they had 'strong' interest in Mike Fiers, and now they have interest in Latos. AA seems to be in on every player, just because, apparently, he's pretty active.

I'm not too sure the Astros should be seeking rentals, as is being reported. At the beginning of the year, I said the Astros were one year away from being a legit World Series contender, and though they've performed beyond my expectations, I'd prefer getting Cashner from the Padres - while he might not be a Cole Hammels, he'd probably be around for next season, when the Astros should go full-on Dynasty Mode.

Angels should trade noted front of the line starter CJ Wilson for a left fielder/DH type. Who needs a starter and has outfielders?

Apparently the Jays have had discussions with the Indians about Carrasco. I am liking that the Jays are looking at long-term pitching options, rather than short-term fixes.

Good for A-Ram. I hope he does well in Pittsburgh. Although he'll always be a Cub in my mind. That was probably one of the only good trades Jim Hendry ever made. edit: I forgot Choi for Lee. That one was pretty cool too. BigBallChunkyTime fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Jul 23, 2015 |

CubsWoo posted:As above-expectation the Cubs season has been, I really dread them making moves for two month rentals that trade away farm talent when the realistic ceiling this year is the WC1 slot and barring the most un-Cubs run in the last century somewhere between one and five playoff games this season. Theo and Co. have said they will not pay a premium price for a rental player. In other news, they offered Castro and Javy Baez to the Phillies for Hamels but got turned down.
