2009 Trade Deadline Thread

really goblin? because i read that the Mariners were not selling just yet.

 

[Yawkey Way]

i still like buchhlolz. I think he needs one or two more seasons. He blew up last year, but everything before that and after that is pointing in the right direction. I'm all for giving up Lars Anderson, Michael Bowden, Masterson etc

the only untouchables for me are Bucky, Casey Kelly, and Daniel Bard

Washburn and murrow for Hardy and a prospect is the rumor that I'm seeing right now.

Washburn is scheduled to start tomorrow and the Brewers don't have a starter for tomorrow.

I doubt it, just posting what I read.

I would be happy with washburn and a C-level prospect for Hardy.

Washburn is seemingly on the block at every deadline.

Washburn stinks, and I'd be fearful handing him the ball in a big spot or a postseason game. He has one of the lowest K/9 ratios in the bigs, and eventually all of those ballls put in play start to miss gloves.

He'd still be the Brewers second best pitcher no matter how you look at it.

Red Sox made an offer for Roy Halladay.

Gordon Edes of Yahoo.com cites a source with knowledge of the negotiations that the Red Sox offered Clay Buchholz, Michael Bowden and top outfield prospect Ryan Westmoreland in exchange for Roy Halladay.

The package is comparable, if not better, than what the Phillies have offered at this point, but it is believed that the Red Sox might have to pay more in order to complete the trade within the division. According to Edes, the Blue Jays are also shopping Marco Scutaro, so the Red Sox may be trying to get a third team involved.

Per Rotoworld

From Rotoworld

According to WEEI, the Red Sox are close to a trade that would send Cliff Lee to Boston for a package of Michael Bowden, Josh Reddick, and one more prospect.

just saw this, would be a great deal especially if we dont give up Buchholz although Josh Redickk is one of my favorite players in the farm but definitely worth it.

 

[Hasselbeck]

Should be interesting to see how the Lee deal affects what happens with Halladay and if Victor Martinez is moved.

5:40pm: Well isn't this ridiculous. Rob Bradford at WEEI tweets: "I have not reported anything. Somebody is hacking into my account."

lol

5:35pm: Kovacevic has updated his previous report, saying that "primary" talks about Sanchez have been with the Giants, and they "were believed to have intensifed last night." But Kovacevic says the Twins are still in the mix as well.

3:28pm: A Pirates official tells Kovacevic that the club doesn't need to move either Sanchez or Wilson and won't trade them unless they see a good offer.

Meanwhile, Jon Heyman of SI.com hears that the Giants are pretty seriously involved in talks for Sanchez.

 

[chazmaniandevil]

looks like were getting sanchez

2:20pm: SI.com's Jon Heyman says the Giants are in serious talks for Sanchez. The teams are discussing John Bowker, Kevin Frandsen and Jesus Guzman.

2:04pm: Joel Sherman of the New York Post hears that the Giants are "definitely getting Freddy Sanchez." The Pirates already traded Jack Wilson today, so they could conceviably lose their entire double play combo in one day.

Wladimir Balentien to Reds for Robert Manuel
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090729&content_id=6128332&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb

The Reds should stick this guy in LF for the rest of the season, and give him 225 AB's to win the job. He's 25.

J. Gomes is better off the bench anyway. Same for Lance Nix.

 

[BigHouseUSA]

Tigers still need another hitter. Hopefully something comes up.

 

[Goober]

Rockies just made a deal. MLB TV's trade deadline show is gay as hell. Whenever a deal happens they say something like, "Speaking of the rockies they just made a deal, we'll tell you who it is right after this..."

 

[Goober]

lol at Tom Haudricourt's (Brewer's Beat writer) twitter:

The Reds getting Scott Rolen is like putting an extra row boat on the Titanic.

 

[Goober]

Still unknown whether or not a Heath Bell trade got done.
