2014 MLB Trade Deadline Thread

[ShowTyme15]

Twins will trade Josh Willingham after the All Star break according to Jim Bowden.

Derrick Goold saying the Cardinals are looking at more offensive help than Peavy atm. Makes sense as Kelly is coming back on Friday.

huh?? Russell was ranked anywhere from 3 to 11. Norris was left off most Top 100 lists preseason 2014. Maybe he's worked his way up, but T10 is laughable for Norris. We see lots of Blue Jays homerism on these boards, but I least expect it from a Red Sox backer!

By the way, the Blue Jays have a strong system in depth, not necessarily in top end talent. Stroman is legit, but after him, there are lots and lots of B specs...no real A's imo.

Russell >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Norris

Cole Hamel's no-trade clause allows him to block a trade to 20 teams. The 9 he can be traded too freely are LAA, LAD, SD, WAS, NYY, STL, ATL, BOS, TEX

Out of that, only 6 (maybe 7) can afford him.

Well SD & TEX are a no go...

If the Cardinals get Hamels, I will not be happy, but they probably make the most sense in terms of contending and being able to afford it in prospects.

I really doubt Hamels is actually on the table anyway, the Phillies will shoot for the sun with any offers, who has the money and farm system? Don't say the Cardinals (Might not have the money either) they need a bat way more than a borderline ace and it will be cheaper.
