Dempster Traded to Texas for 3B Villanueva & RHP Hendricks

[beersoakedivy]

His last start did not drive his value down at all. He could have pitched a complete game shutout and the trade would have been the same. Teams knew what they are getting in Demp.

Okay, checklist time.

 

[ ] I wanted Dempster to pick up his option

[ ] I expected anything better than a league-average season out of Dempster, at best

[ ] I thought in a million years we'd get a top-100 prospect for Ryan Dempster

 

Theo 1, Me 0.

Did Delgado pitch too many innings to qualify for the BA Top 100 list? I'm at work and can't look it up.

 

he was in KG's top 50 before this year, although KG said he wouldn't be in top 50 right now. probably still top 75 though

[champaignchris]

22 years old. 101 ERA+ in 24 career MLB starts. Under team control until 2018.

 

For a 35 year old who is a fee agent at the end of the year?

 

I'll take it.

That is a damn good return for Dempster and cash.

There's no way gap between Randall Delgado and Ryan Dempster over 12 starts is worth trading Delgado's next five years for. #cubs #braves

 

That seems to be most Braves fans' POV. They feel ripped off.

They should.

[Cubswin11]

I can't wait to see what we get for Garza!!

Hopefully 2-3 of Lee, Eovaldi, Gould, Withrow, and Webster from the Dodgers.

Remember after the 2008 election someone made that gif of Obama passing out billz? Someone needs to photoshop theos head on there passing out candy. Cuz that's what all this feels like, Happy [expletive] Candy Day

This is a fantastic return. I figured the Braves would be more likely to overpay due to their higher need than LA for pitching, but I didn't really believe they'd give Teheran or Delgado.

 

I love Theo.

He was BA's #46 before this year, #41 at BP.

You mean SouthSideRyan?

 

Yea, that guy doesn't have a clue.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm trying to slow down my celebrating until this is confirmed. Just seems like so much of an overpay by the Braves.

Just spoke with great source. No deal has been agreed upon. Talks ongoing. Nothing done yet.

... I wonder what middle infield non prospect Hendry could have gotten.

Hard to tell what is sarcasm and what is not...

[Prizefight]

I'm assuming Delgado will be about 4 innings into his first start in Iowa or Tennessee before he tweets the trade is confirmed
