Is Ruben Amaro capable of selling? He took over right after the WS title in '08, and they've basically made the playoffs most of the time or were in contention since then. I just wonder if Amaro knows anything about that side of the equation.

Amaro would be smart to sell the RIGHT players who still have value but are on the downside. The Phillies are an aging team but they have some pieces that contending teams may want. It'd be a quick way to restock the organization.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

Re: 2013 Trade Deadline Thread
I totally agree. I just wonder if he really knows how to do that or can even admit it's time to sell. Aside from dealing Pence to the Giants, I can't think of many sell moves. Maybe he did deals like that as an assistant GM?Chicago Cubs | Chicago Bulls | Green Bay Packers | Michigan WolverinesComment

If not, he should step aside and let Pat Gillick do it for him.Comment

Re: 2013 Trade Deadline Thread
Looks like a pitching prospect is being sent back to Chicago. "Both sides have agreed on which pitching prospect will be going to the Cubs" The only name that is constantly coming to me is Manny Banuelos.Red Sox: 2018 World Series Champions!!!

Re: 2013 Trade Deadline Thread
Where did you hear that?
I seriously doubt it. Banuelos is probably their best pitching prospect except for maybe Pineda. He had Tommy John surgery and is out this year so he's fallen off a bit, but I still really doubt the Yankees would trade him in this trade, and all the reports say a lower tier pitching prospect.Originally posted by Jay BilasThe question isn't whether UConn belongs with the elites, but over the last 20 years, whether the rest of the college basketball elite belongs with UConnComment

Corey Black is the guy we're getting though. I'm reading that the Cubs view him as a power reliever. ~ 97 mph fastball and a good curve. He was a 4th round pick in 2012. That's about all I know about him.
Sad to see Sori go, but it had to be done. Best of luck to him in NY.

I'm hearing talk of Bud Norris to the Braves as well as Michael Young possibly being traded back to the Rangers.
