5 player trade between Arizona and Pittsburgh

 

Pirates acquired catcher Chris Snyder and shortstop Pedro Ciriaco from the Diamondbacks for infielder Bobby Crosby, outfielder Ryan Church and RHP D.J. Carrasco.

Pittsburgh also acquired cash in the deal and announced they are promoting starter Daniel McCutchen, infielder Argenis Diaz and first baseman Jeff Clement from Triple-A Indianapolis. As for Snyder, he'll share time behind the plate with Ryan Doumit once Doumit is activated from the disabled list. Doumit's currently sidelined with a concussion.

 

For Jake:

 

When I worked with the Mobile Bay Bears last season Pedro Ciriaco was the shortstop. He is an amazing defender with great speed, was routinely making highlight reel plays at shortstop and 2B... but he has no plate patience and is essentially Juan Pierre at the plate with a finite amount of pop. Think Ryan Theriot's 2009, but with better speed and waaaaay better defense. He's probably not a long term solution, but I could see him being a defensive replacement kind of a guy.

Jonathan Sanchez appears to be on his way out of San Francisco.

For what?!?

 

I don't see that as a minor trade.

Yeah, if he's part of a deal, they're bringing back something pretty major......

I'm following it as I see it.

 

Also,

 

#Dodgers get Dotel. For Lamb and McDonald.

 

 

Andrew Lambo possibly? Holy crap.

The information is reliable but second-hand. I didn't want to make a thread until I had something more substantial. In hindsight, I probably should have just waited.

 

But, uh, hey, Dotel to the Dodgers.

Agreed. contending teams dont trade quality starting pitching for nothing. Im going to take a hunch here that its for Corey Hart. After sweeping the Nationals, the Brewers claimed that they were "too close to contention to sell", but maybe there last 3 games changed their minds.However, Adam Dunns another name that comes to mind. teh Giants have been on the fringe of the Dunns weepstakes all along, and Sanchez is better than Edwin jackson.

Ankiel and Farnsworth to the Braves.

 

Also, OF John Bowker is going with Martinez to the Pirates in the Lopez deal. Nice trade for the Pirates.

 

Second time for Farns in ATL.

Royals get Blanco, Chavez and Collins

 

Jesse Chavez is the one with all the tats that looks like a serial rapist, right?

 

dunno. The Blanco in question is Gregor, so Ankiel will probably be an everyday guy for Atlanta.

 

Not sure about Collins
