Feldman to Orioles for Stropp, Arietta, bonus slots

[davell]

The O's only have 1.259400 in tradeable IFA money. Their slots are 520100, 351200, 237200, and 150900. Edited July 2, 2013 by davell

That better be a lot of pool space. I wasn't expecting much but these two guys......ugh

 

yep

 

Here's hoping for some Derek Johnson magic with Arrietta at least.

[jersey cubs fan]

So I guess they were concerned the bullpen wasn't already walking enough guys?

Fair both ways, IMO. RT @Hockey442: @Ken_Rosenthal @keithlaw initial thoughts on who got the best value?

[sneakypower]

i'm cool with this, but i didn't value Feldman like some of you seem to

[Castros trade value]

Nothing wrong with this deal. Two young arms for a guy who was leaving after 13.

Neither of those guys are young or good.

 

ETA: Now how could we possibly pry away Britton toonster?

except they aren't young

Eh. I wonder how much the slot money is. I'm ok with taking Arrieta and seeing if we can't fix something or try him out of the pen. That said, I would've preferred a prospect as opposed to Strop but what's done is done. Not disappointed but not excited either.

MLBTR says we got their third and fourth slots.

 

This really looks kind of awful on a superficial glance.

You don't trade Feldman for lottery tickets

I didn't value him that high but thought they could get a prospect, and not a couple of crappy late 20's bullpen arms.

I'm not angry about it(especially if this is the last resort to get IFA money), but those two would be easier to handle as a return if it were a lot later in the month.

 

As it stands though, I am glad they got immediate contributors. Guess we have to hope they can fix something to bring down the walks for both of them.

Really poor return for Feldman. Sadly, Strop might be our second-best reliever now.

[Castros trade value]

I don't consider 27 and 28 year olds old.

Jesse Sanchez tweeted it was $388,100 in slots, which is equivalent to the Orioles third and fourth slots. They still might not have enough for their anticipated remaining IFA signings.

 

Disappointing trade.

[treebird]

we had better really like these stropp and arietta dorks. if getting the bonus pool money was an actual major part of this deal, we are surprisingly dumb.

[Bruno7481]

Not used to a Cubs trade being reported and seemingly going through immediately.

 

A half a season of Scott Feldman was never going to bring back anything great. I am sure the FO took the best offer available to them. No team is going to give up anything special for 80 innings of Feldman.

[jersey cubs fan]

I would hope they at least aren't picking up the rest of the tab on Feldman.

[mookie]

It's Feldman. It's fine. Next.

[sneakypower]

Strop's under team control through '17, Arrieta through '16

They aren't working at PriceWaterhouse.

Well, he's nothing special, but he was having a good year and those guys tend to get you nice returns.

If this was the last resort to get pool money, then we *completely* misread the market on IFA money and shouldn't have promised so much.

This is pretty much where I am.
