summer trade deadline 2014

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?

Cardinals deal Allen Craig and Joe Kelly to Boston for John Lackey

http://www.vivaelbirdos.com/2014/7/31/5956003/breaking-news-cardinals-deal-allen-craig-and-joe-kelly-to-boston-for

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.

@GordonEdes 58s
Hearing Steven Drew to the Yankees

The Yankees finally found a shortstop

Yankees 2B: 72 wRC+
Stephen Drew: 56 wRC+

@Ken_Rosenthal: Source: #Tigers get Price.

Jim Price?

vincent

austin jackson and drew smyly in price deal

Nick Franklin heading to Tampa.

so prospects are worth more than actual mlb players these days?

so weird watching austin jackson get pulled from the tigers game, get hugs in the dugout

@Ken_Rosenthal
No trades for #Phillies.

lolololol

apparently the asking price for Byrd was hilarious

smyly + franklin doesn't seem like a fantastic haul for david price

2 run HR from our new regular RF Oscar. #mathenaging

@jjcoop36
Phillies have $123 million committed to Hamels, Howard, Lee, Papelbon, Rollins, Ruiz, Byrd, Utley next year. All 30+, 6 will be 35+

martin prado to the yanks

Twins sign Kurt Suzuki to extension

the dbacks are a terrible organization

traded justin upton for jack fucking shit

Jarred Cosart to Marlins

Rhett:
Why would the yanks trade for 2 starting infielders when they have one spot open???? Can Prado play right?

Dan Szymborski:
Well technically they don't have a SS...

Four-player deal confirmed: David Price to Tigers, Austin Jackson to Mariners, Nick Franklin and Drew Smyly to Rays. No other prospects.

what a shitty trade. really?

Jerry Crasnick:
Hearing Jake Marisnick is in the Cosart deal. #marlins #astros

@JeffSkversky
Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon says GM Ruben Amaro told him a few days ago that the Phillies will continue to compete next few years

rays also got 18yo ss willy adames from detroit, which makes a bit more sense
