Re: 2013 Trade Deadline Thread

I like the Downs deal. Need LOOGYs for the playoffs.

Re: 2013 Trade Deadline Thread

I'd be all for trading Bundy in a deal for Lee or Stanton even if he was healthy and pitching well.

I think that it might be ok to trade Bundy in a deal for Stanton, however I don't see the point in trading him for Lee. Bundy is much younger and could become as good if not better than Lee other than the fact that Lee is a lefty.

Really hope he can stay healthy for the Rays.

Bravos get Scott Downs in exchange for Cory Rasmus. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/0...ott-downs.html

Seems like a pretty good deal. At first I though it said Colby Rasmus and I was so confused.

Lmao, I was right about to say. I read this as "Scott Downs for Colby Rasmus" and nearly punched a wall

Exactly what I was thinking...

I thought the White Sox were crazy with their asking price for Crain, and now they lay this one on us?

Lol, that is great.

Probably just throwing that out there for leverage.

Possibly, but why would they do that if everybody knows that they already didn't take the Cardinal's offer?

Re: 2013 Trade Deadline Thread

Rangers supposedly scouting Bautista/EE. No way Jays are moving them. For once, the Jays should stick it out for a few seasons and see how things go in terms of fixing up their roster. Jays have been stuck in middle for too long, getting rid of these guys for prospects again would just go back to what Jays were doing for many years before.

Oh, you mean building a young, contending team without any large contractual obligations and a #1 farm system?

Oh yeah, we shouldn't go back to that.

Hopefully Billy has indeed moved on from Peavy....woulda loved to have him but not at Chicago's asking price

Oh yeah, it's definitely for leverage.

But if their asking price really is that high, it's useless. I just really hope that nobody gives up anything ridiculous, unless it's the Cardinals. Lol

I just think the Sox will come to their senses (if they have any) when it gets closer to the deadline, because they don't want to lose Peavy for nothing. We all know they aren't building around anybody with that farm.
