Re: 2016 Trade Deadline Thread

Marlins now looking at Ivan Nova after Colin Rea left today's start with elbow pain.

Not a good first impression for Rea.

Rangers and Phillies unlikely to reach a deal for Velasquez. Phillies want 2 hitters Major League ready or close to it.

Re: 2016 Trade Deadline Thread

So ... Kemp is scheduled to make $21.5M a year for the next three years, but the Dodgers are picking up $3.5M of that. So it's essentially $18M a year for three years that the Braves are picking up.

Olivera is scheduled to make $28.5M a year for the next four years. I'll just call it $7M a year that the Padres have picked up.

So the Braves will pay Kemp $11M more per year than they would have with Olivera, but they'll save $7M in 2020 (Olivera's final year).

And the Padres (who have already DFA'd Olivera) will save about $26M over the four years with the trade.

Derek Norris is likely the next Padre player to be moved.

Anything not bolted down is likely to be sold off in San Diego.

Re: 2016 Trade Deadline Thread

Apparently the Rockies aren't likely to trade Carlos Gonzalez or Charlie Blackmon and may even add to their mix. How refreshing that the Rockies don't feel the need to buy into the garbage that you have to "be a seller!" if you're "not going to win anyway!" and don't care about "hurting The Rebuild" or whatever crap people like to say now.

And how refreshing that are 4.5 games out of a 1 game gimmick and yet they don't want to give up and trade off their biggest pieces to try to "make it work another way." Almost as if anything can happen in baseball and resigning yourself to a particular fate is ****ing stupid and that maybe stability and constantly building with whatever you've got is a good thing and likely the surest way to success.

He's buying himself more time "look at all that young talent! we're not ready to compete yet!" after an ineffective first 2 years on the job record-wise.

It could also be ownership telling him to cut payroll. San Diego is not historically a high spending team.

Re: 2016 Trade Deadline Thread

Its just that he created the whole mess himself, and now he's trying to fix it....and somehow it might work and he could end up being a hero after trading away Trea Turner, Yasmani Grandal, Jesse Hahn, Max Fried, Mallex Smith, Matt Wisler....I understand that he got some quality pieces back for some of those. But they had a decent group of young players coming up, and he blew it up trying to win in 2015, and delayed a rebuild by one season. I feel like he created his own mess just so he could clean it up and save the day.

Apparently the Brewers are "exchanging medicals" in regards to Lucroy, according to Jeff Passan. I'm very excited as an Indians fan because Lucroy is my favorite player.

Lucroy headed to cleveland as long as he waives his no trade.

4 players headed to Milwaukee

One of Justus Sheffield and Triston Mckenzie could be headed to Milwaukee.

Re: 2016 Trade Deadline Thread

Listening to the Red Sox announcers talk about the Kemp trade is pretty hilarious...they are completely ignorant on what went down.

[ShowTyme15]

Re: 2016 Trade Deadline Thread

Francisco Mejia, Yu-Cheng Chang, and Greg Allen all headed to Milwaukee.

Re: 2016 Trade Deadline Thread

So the braves want Kemp why?

Hell of a pickup for Cleveland, they get a healthy Brantley on top of that, man they are looking good.
