summer trade deadline 2014

BB may not stop all day!

Dave Cameron of Fangraphs reports another wrinkle in the trade: Cespedes’ contract calls for him to be non-tendered at the end of his deal (if he is not first extended) in order to assure him early free agency, and he therefore is ineligible to receive a qualifying offer following the 2015 season.

billy beane may not win the ws this year but he has won the internet on this day, for sure

SOURCES: lackey to be reunited with pierzynski in st. louis

...still can't score

Dodgers said to be frontrunners for Joaquin Benoit

joe kelly, allen craig to boston for lackey

front office tying matheny's hands!

so it's almost like Oscar Taveras is a throw-in!

matheny now furiously trying to right jon jay into CF and RF

I can't wait to see the A's eliminated in 4 games by the Tigers.

need to trade buchholz and theyd of traded their entire starting rotation?

red sox FO is fucking crazy

2012 - MASSIVE SELL-OFF
2013 - Win the fucking world series
2014 - MASSIVE SEL-OFF

this is like the marlins but with money and brains

lack had to have said to boston in no uncertain terms that he wouldnt pitch for $500k next year

Andrew Miller about to be peddled to Tigers?

Asdrubal Cabrera going somewhere

there's no fucking way lackey plays for 500k next year - hes gonna hang retirement over whoever's head

The Braves want Andrew Miller badly (if that's the lefty reliever I'm thinking of) but it looks like the price tag in prospects may be too high.

fake joel sherman twitter account making everyone look like assholes

The Brewers have acquired OF Gerardo Parra from Arizona in exchange for OF Mitch Haniger and LHP Anthony Banda

really like parra as a player. very underrated.

then again he won a gold glove so not super underrated lol

I'm trying desperately to find a GIF, or even just a still image, of that "snake strike" hand thingy the Diamondbacks did in the 2011 post-season. Can any Arizona fans help me out? How is there no photographic evidence of this gesture?

my gut reaction is YESSSSSS

i don't even know that much about lackey

he beat you guys to win the world series last year iirc

the phillies aren't going to trade anyone, are they

loved this reaction I read to the Denorfia trade

"Can't believe they traded him to their inter-league rival"

asdrubal to nationals

andrew miller to orioles

i thought the byrd thing happened? to yankees? i have not been paying good attention today

fake account tweeted it, jim bowden (among many others) parroted it, hilarity ensued

apparently the phillies lineup for tonight has been posted and byrd is on it

If amaro does nothing he should be arrested

Tigers appear to be the front-runner on David Price at the moment, tweets Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News.

that'll be quite a kick in the balls for the Rays

i don't even know what the tigers have that the rays would want

MLBTR:

A three-team mix could be in the offing, according to reports. Bob Nightengale of USA Today tweets that there were discussions of such a deal involving Price and the Tigers and Mariners. And Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times tweets that a three-team arrangement is under discussion now.
