I hate baseball.

[MNSoxChief102]

Can't fault the Guardians for trying to go for it... although they still have to hit to win games. Still think Detroit is the team to beat in the Central

I hate the Guardians for grabbing Jimenez. Hopefully they tore up the farm to it, let us laugh just a little bit.

[Dojji]

We can always get the stud pitcher that is Jeff Karstens, right?

[BornToRun]

Buehrle buehrle buehrle buehrle

 

I could go for that. Depends on the cost, which probably wouldn't be cheap.

That they did... three of their best prospects to get him

[AtWork]

Nothing's official yet. He could still go to the Yankees for all we know.

 

EDIT: Now it sounds like it's official.

Seems like a done deal.

[jacksonianmarch]

Reported by YES at the Yankee game, done deal

[Dojji]

Yankees are so screwed now.

[AtWork]

Ubaldo Jimenez has been scratched from his Saturday start, likely because he is about to be traded to the Guardians.

Troy Renck of the Denver Post is reporting that a deal is done. He writes that it will definitely involve Drew Pomeranz and Alex White, though he doesn't know if Double-A first baseman Matt McBride, who, like Pomeranz and White, was scratched Saturday, or Jason Kipinis, who is playing Saturday, will be the third piece of a potential trade.

[MNSoxChief102]

Rockies will reportedly get Pomeranz, White, and McBride. Deal is all but official.

[suns]

Guardians trade mcbride, white, and pomeranz for jimenez

[Dojji]

High risk, high reward move for the Guardians, and it suggests very strongly that they'll be up to the neck on both Fielder and Pujols.

[suns]

McBride sucks before anyone says anything

[jacksonianmarch]

The Guardians dealt 3 top prospects to get him. 3 guys who are not only big league ready, but are all top 100 prospects. They were holding out for that kind of deal, and they got it. I am hearing White, Pomeranz and Kipnis

[MNSoxChief102]

Well never say never... door is still open "slightly"

Person involved still refusing to use the word complete on Ubaldo trade to #Guardians, just that it is close

[jacksonianmarch]

Yankees are so screwed now.

 

How so? You guys dont have a starter past your #2.

[Dojji]

I don't think either NYY or BOS had the wherewithal to match that.

KIPNIS IS NOT MOVING.

Mcbride is moving and hes old

[BornToRun]

McBride sucks before anyone says anything

 

I heard his brother Danny is the real deal though.

[Dojji]

How so? You guys dont have a starter past your #2.

You guys don't have a #2, so I'd loook a bit closer to hope there pal.

We don't have Colon and Garcia anchoring our pitching staff.

Theo swoops in last second, waves around a .45 and hops into a private jet with Ubaldo bound and gagged. There is hope.

[suns]

Jim Tracy and the GM went into the clubhouse to talk to Jimenez just now

Bartolo Colon says hi. And our #3, #4, and #5 have been better than yours. And our ace has been better of late. The only big "edge" you have is Lester vs Colon.

:lol:

[example1]

The supposed package CLE is offering is the type that should be landed for a player like Jimenez. I hope it isn't true, but it makes sense.

Key word emphasis on "has been"

 

That's exactly what your #3, #4, and #5 are in a nutshell
