2014 MLB Trade Deadline Rumors and Deals

Cards have a great farm. And if they get Price, Masty's going to have to re-acquaint himself with the bullpen.
 
One last thing is that Lackey has the $500,000 salary for next season so that's huge for the Cardinals in 2015 with his low salary to go pick up another piece.


More than likely this will change-- already talk of a grievance being filed - will be interesting to see how it ends up..
 
Quick trivia -

this is the 2nd time Lester has been traded - when was the first and for who?
 
Pretty sure I remember reading an article in the last month that he was part of that failed trade attempt with Texas. Forget who the main piece was Boston was trading. Manny?

and then like 3 days later the yanks stepped in...and abosrd the contract as is..
 
It comes down to if you want Carlos Martinez, Kaminsky, Piscotty package or a Joc Pederson/Corey Seager, Urias, Chris Reed, Zach Lee type of package

gimme the dodgers package all day. also, if im trading a star to st louis, im getting tavares. Tavares, Piscotty, and a AA or lower pitcher with upside would be what I would take if im tampa

Shifts the balance of power if either of those teams get him

Not sure I believe that the dodgers aren't in it.
 
How come none of these MLB teams, going back 15-20 years, never, ever learn their lesson on the contracts. The Arod trivia question, and the trade deadline always reminds me. WTF are the Phillies going to do with Ryan Howard and Cliff Lee? The Rangers TRADED FOR Prince Fielder? There will come a day, hopefully sooner, when fatty Miggy is hitting like Nick Swisher but making 20-million+, time catches up with everyone. The Dodgers want Matt Kemp to die. Pedroia hits like my wife. Jeter's been a stiff for years. Pujols is a broken down pig farmer. The Giants and all those ridiculous pitcher contracts. Does anyone, ANYONE, ever live up to these deals?

I agree I'm not doing the deal with Cards unless Tavares is in it, but with Craig gone now I don't see how they can include him (plus the addition of Lackey/Masterson) just doesn't seem reasonable.

What if Shelby Miller was included?

tip miggy will be making 30+ million toward the end of that deal :(

I suppose he can maybe be a productive DH in his golden years, but obviously that old pizza peddler considers today's contracts tomorrow guy's problem.

In-season trades within the division. Frowned upon. Like masturbating on an airplane.
 
Zach Walters is a decent talent for Indians to get in exchange for Asdrubal.

Glad he's an asset. Walters is blocked at that position. Lindor, Ramirez. I actually think Aviles is an everyday player too. He's cursed with the utility role because he can play everywhere.
