Yankees are shopping Ivan Nova.

Re: 2016 Trade Deadline Thread

Makes a ton of sense to send Chappie out for a top prospect and then hold Andrew over everyone with a flaky bullpen's head. I wouldn't be surprised if we pulled something off, turned a rental that we acquired for virtually nothing into the top prospect in one of the best systems in baseball, Cashman is all in right now. I love it.

Also, what a terrible move for the Reds. Top guy (other than Lucroy) at the deadline, and they gave him up too early. I'd be pissed.

I don't think that means what you think it means.

If I'm the Yankees I'm looking to see what I could get for the following 3 players; Beltran, Tex, and Headley.

They won't get squat for Headley. Call me crazy, but he's probably the worst everyday starting 3B in the majors. (Look at every starting 3B in the league and who's he better than?) Plus, he's due $13M for the next 2/3 years- and he's not getting better.

Beltran is an interesting target. I imagine the Giants would have some interest and are a natural fit with that dreadful OF they have with Pence out.

You must really be a part time "fan" if you think he has to throw every game. Don't forget about that Rondon guy... oh and Strop is pretty good, too.

The Cubs are seriously going to rotate closers? That makes no sense to me.

You misread the post... He meant Strop in the 7th, Rondon in the 8th and Chapman in the 9th.

Rangers interested in Vince Velasquez. I would be shocked if the Phillies traded him.

Because I'm an idiot and misread your post.

It's because the Yankees haven't developed a decent position player in about 10 years and their fans are grasping at straws for any glimmer of hope beyond Bryce Harper's FA year.

Yeah...but only because the Cubs system was so deep that they could afford to trade Torres and McKinney. That's a pretty good haul especially for 1/2 year of Chapman.

This is actually quite similar to what the Cubs got for Jeff Samardzija at the 2014 deadline: a young, high potential shortstop; Billy McKinney, and an expendable arm...plus this Crawford guy as a throw in.

No it's not who you are thinking. Please be more cautious before making an accusation like that or report the post.

It's not fair.

Sox writer for the Globe sums up my thoughts on a Sox/Sale trade:

Pete Abraham @PeteAbe 3m3 minutes ago

If it's true the conversation for Chris Sale starts with Mookie Betts, the rest of the conversation should be, "Bahahahaha."

Re: 2016 Trade Deadline Thread

Sox writer for the Globe sums up my thoughts on a Sox/Sale trade:

I dunno, Sale has a lot of term left AND one of the cheapest deals for a guy of his talent. The Sawx need SP pretty badly if they want to win it all this year but yeah, I can see where Betts is an untouchable. The guy has totally blossomed into a very reliable bat.

It's not an idea that has to be laughed at but rather if I were Dombrowski i'd try to steer the conversation towards other players/prospects.

Robbie Cano turned out pretty well. Brett Gardner has been decent. Greg Bird looks to be a future all star.
