2011 Trade Deadline Thread

[SoxSport]

I hope Theo doesn't screw the pooch and come away with no pitcher.

[jacksonianmarch]

He has to have a backup plan. Bedard is just as concerning, IMO, and will probably cost more than Harden since he's thrown 90+IP this yr. I am guessing Guthrie will end up on one of our teams

[Thunder]

Wow! Bourn to Braves! Braves don't give up any top prospects. Astros really suck now.

[SoxFanForsyth]

So the pitchers left on the market are Bedard, Zambrano, Dempster (I think?), Wandy, and that's about it. It's really too bad guys like Anibel Sanchez and John Danks aren't available.

[SoxSport]

This is Rich Harden. The only surprise here is that they're surprised.

 

Yeah. this one sounds pretty dumb. Harden is not sound--for cripes sake. never has been. They are dealing nothing for him, so what's the difference? Beane is giving them a soundness discount.

 

Well, the difference is they have a roster space and a trade chip to go for another pitcher.

But they just farted away time--like those farts in Washington.

 

I don't know why they don't get Bedard. He has looked good this year. even his first rusty start back, he threw well. He could be perfect against the Yankees.

 

Theo waits to the last minute to get the best deal--and then misses out on people.

Other teams put up early and get the cream.

 

Theo would rather have his teeth pulled than give up his prospects, unless he is in love with a player--usually unavailable. He's probably still trying to get Felix.

The Cubs don't seem to wanna move anybody, mainly because Hendry is certifiably retarded. And Dempster has a pretty big contract.

True. It's such a s***** market. I hope Theo pulls something out of his ass. I would cry if he pulled Felix from the Mariners. That would absolutely kill Cashman.

 

But seriously, there are too many teams still in it this year. Not enough players available.

 

EDIT: And those teams that are out of it (Florida, Cubs, etc) aren't willing to deal. So dumb. Maybe Theo will make a big deal for Garza.

If the Cubs won't deal Pena, Garza ain't going nowhere either. Seriously, how f***tarded is Hendry? It makes no sense to keep any of their players. They are horrible this year and it will be a while before things get better. Why hang onto Ramirez, Pena, Garza, and everyone else when you're going nowhere? And I'm confident Theo will do something, he's Theo f***ing Epstein. Whether that's prying Garza from Chicago or sending in a Delta Force team to quietly extract Felix from Seattle, he'll do something.

I think that considering the price Jimeniz would have taken for the Red Sox to acquire him, the Red Sox should consider floating a similar package out there for guys like Kershaw, Gonzalez/Cahill, Hernandez.

I'm sure Theo is gonna kick the tires on a lot of guys, it'll be an interesting few hours seeing who he chases. I'm gearing up for the MLBN deadline special.

[BornToRun]

According to a post on SOSH, Garza talks back open according to MLBN Radio. Please, please, please Theo!

I'd give my left nut to get Kershaw.

I too would give your left nut to get Kershaw.

Yankees chasing Wandy, won't be cheap.

[SoxFanForsyth]

I'd give my left nut to get Kershaw.

 

I'd give both of my nuts and my right arm. That guy is getting $500k and is an absolute ace.

Pedroia (via Francona) offered line of weekend. Said he couldn't be involved in a Jimenez trade b/c 'I'm wanted for murder in Colorado.'

 

Hahahahahahahaha. This is hilarious.

Hahahahahahahaha. This is hilarious.

 

Pedoia is the coolest motherf***er to play in the MLB, ever.

He really is dude. And the way he goes all out every single play, you don't see that very often. He's such a treat to watch on a nightly basis. He's actually the polar opposite of Eeyore Drew.

And Cano wishes he was 1/4 of what Pedroia is. Best 2nd baseman in the game.

Oh no doubt. Pedroia has put those idiotic comparisons to bed. And remember when people were thinking Gardner was better than Ellsbury? That's laughable.

We've got them beat or matched at every position when you really think about, save for a few exceptions.

[BornToRun]

Whores are in on Bell. At the end of the day, I want a deal that brought Garza and Johnson/Baker to Boston with a seperate trade landing Choate or Thornton.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Alright it's time for Theo to make a deal that shocks the world. Get it done, Theo.

The Red Sox have announced a three team deal with the Seattle Mariners and Chicago Cubs. The Red Sox have acquired Matt Garza, King Felix, Jeff Baker, and Sean Marshall in exchange for Lars Anderson and a Fenway Frank.

[SoxFanForsyth]

By the way, I was thinking about this last night, can you imagine if we got Bourn? An outfield of Crawford - Ellsbury - Bourn? Nothing would fall.
