Mariners send ex-Sox draftee RHRP Hunter Strickland to Washington for AA LHRP Aaron Fletcher. I like that trade for Seattle.

Nightengale says talks between Yankees/DBacks are dead.

DanoooME · Jul 31, 2019

Looks like the Mets have everyone after Wheeler at this point. Somehow, I'll have the feeling they'll find a way to blow it, either asking too much or getting a 28 year old AA arm with no options remaining.

That wasn't a shot at you. More info coming out just gives us more data points.

But, it only takes one stupid team...

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.

Great deal for the Giants. They need help at 2B now. Panik just can’t hit.

D-Backs getting SP Zac Gallen from Marlins for SS prospect Jazz Chisholm.

Wow, Gallen to Arizona. That’s unexpected, must be a pretty good haul.

He cost Arizona their #1 prospect. Reminds me eerily of the Swanson for Miller deal.

I wonder if ARI will lower their price for Ray now that they got Gallen.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Seems like getting a controllable piece to replace someone being shipped out

That or they know Ray’s definitely gone this winter.

Good time to strike the Marlins for pitching in any case. They’ve got about 7-8 viable starters right now.

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.

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?

I think Farhad Zaidi and DD are in the midst of a bit of a stare down.

It doesn't actually make sense for SF to hang on to all of those 'pen arms. They need to add talent to their system. We need 'pen depth. I bet a deal happens at like 3:52, and it's a mild overpay.

So, maybe now we understand why the Sox were focusing on "lesser arms".

If this is the market for pitching, I'd put in feelers on Sale, Price, Workman, now and see what you can get back.

SemperFidelisSox · Jul 31, 2019

Dodgers 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.

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).

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 Fund
