Rafael Soriano traded for Haracio Ramirez

Scout.com's Bill Shanks says the Braves have acquired Rafael Soriano from the Mariners for Horacio Ramirez.

 

Remind us again how Bill Bavasi has a job? Actually, we'll wait for added confirmation before we go off on a rant about this one.

 

 

Wow! If that is the price for starting pitching then theres no wonder trades are not going down. Soriano for a below average SP. Yikes.

[YearofDaCubs]

WOW!! VERY IDIOTIC by the Mariners.

Geez. What do they want for Felix Hernandez?

After that deal I think maybe Marshall or Blanco would do the trick

[TruffleShuffle]

well, average starting pitchers have been overvalued in free agency, and apparently it's no different on the trade market.

Lights out. 2.25 ERA 1.08WHIP 65K/60IP He was supposed to do something similar to Santana and eventually become a starter. This is a terrible trade for the Mariners.

Then why not just move Soriano to start? That's what was supposed to happen before his injury and he seems fully recovered these days.

[Abe Frohman]

Oh snap!!! Wrong Soriano.

That is one of the single dumbest trades I've seen in a while. It's up there with Kearns/Lopez

LaRouche for Gonzalez? Good move for both teams. Braves get their closer (with a nice set up man in Soriano) and the Pirates get a young first baseman to help protect Jason Bay.

 

But don't look know but...the Pirates have Bay/Castillo/Sanchez/Paulino, and if the Gonzalez for LaRouche deal happens, the Pirates are building a very nice young stable of hitters.

Why would Atlanta trade for another pitcher when they have fat man and now Soriano?

Rotoworld:

 

FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal says the Mariners and Braves are talking about a swap of Rafael Soriano and Horacio Ramirez.

Scout.com's Bill Shanks reported that it was a done deal. Rosenthal doesn't go that far, but it's obviously a legitimate rumor. The Mariners would be crazy to make this trade without getting a second quality player in return. Soriano is a health risk, but he's also one of baseball's best relievers when he's on. Ramirez is a No. 4 starter.

Why don't you ask the Braves that?

Don't forget Bautista and Nady.

You had the chance to write the headline: Soriano traded for Ramirez, and you passed?! :P
