Mariners send ex-Sox draftee RHRP Hunter Strickland to Washington for AA LHRP Aaron Fletcher. I like that trade for Seattle.
That wasn't a shot at you. More info coming out just gives us more data points.I cede the point
Great deal for the Giants. They need help at 2B now. Panik just can’t hit.Two months of 2019-vintage Pomeranz and a 29 year old relief prospect for six years of a starting middle infielder is an awful, awful trade.
I agree, it kinda slaps. Hoping for another weird hour.Maybe this is actually a fun trade deadline?
Wish the Yankees were on Gallen. But you gotta ask.D-Backs getting SP Zac Gallen from Marlins for SS prospect Jazz Chisholm.
He cost Arizona their #1 prospect. Reminds me eerily of the Swanson for Miller deal.Wish the Yankees were on Gallen. But you gotta ask.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Seems like getting a controllable piece to replace someone being shipped outI wonder if ARI will lower their price for Ray now that they got Gallen.
That or they know Ray’s definitely gone this winter.I wonder if ARI will lower their price for Ray now that they got Gallen.
Except for those wanting Boston to do something other than sit on their hands, which is what it looks like is going to happen.Maybe this is actually a fun trade deadline?

I wouldn't count DD out. I still think we pick up one of the SF relievers.Except for those wanting Boston to do something other than sit on their hands, which is what it looks like is going to happen.
I just saw a story on either 'EEI's or NESN's Facebook feed that says the Sox are "frustrated" by the "slow-moving" trade deadline day.I wouldn't count DD out. I still think we pick up one of the SF relievers.
I think Farhad Zaidi and DD are in the midst of a bit of a stare down.I just saw a story on either 'EEI's or NESN's Facebook feed that says the Sox are "frustrated" by the "slow-moving" trade deadline day.
That doesn't bode well to me; it sounds like they're not offering the value teams want and so the teams are moving onto the next option.
Is RedOctober the new CorsiBot?
If this is the market for pitching, I'd put in feelers on Sale, Price, Workman, now and see what you can get back.So, maybe now we understand why the Sox were focusing on "lesser arms".

True. Who's the best experienced BP piece we have? Barnes? Add him.One of these things is not like the others
Pirates have no "need" to deal him, either; they can just sit there and let the Dodgers squirmDodgers have to give up Lux for Vazquez. Lost two World Series, gotta move all the chips into the table. Jansen will cost them a third.
That's the 3rd deadline deal for melancholy Mark. 5th overall trade.Jeff Passan
@JeffPassan
The Atlanta Braves are nearing a deal to acquire reliever Mark Melancon from the San Francisco Giants, sources tell @Buster_ESPN and me.

They're less than 50/50 on making the playoffs. I'd have sold Porcello (given price for pitching) and Holt (given Marco/Chavis/Lin).The Sox are not sellers. Nor should they have been

Instead of making idiot stake bets that go to the health of children, why don't you do a solid and back this up. If they make the playoffs you give $50 to the Jimmy FundThey're less than 50/50 on making the playoffs.
