Hammel/Samardzija Traded to A's for Russell/McKinney/Straily

[Hairyducked Idiot]

CF Billy McKinney was a late scratch in high A.

 

oh shiiiiiiiii

it doesn't matter unless he's hugging people

Rammy, does he even post there anymore or did he finally martyr himself away for good?

Martyred from what I can tell, ironically right after I mentioned the Twitter thing. I tried my best not to come off as a dick to him and didn't harp on about it, but I felt like people had the right to know and make their own judgements. Whatev's, no regrets.

 

I think I legit had multiple people put me on IL when I questioned how the hell he'd know the stuff about Tanaka that he was reporting when nobody else had it. It was some fly on the wall in the Yankees negotiations type stuff.

Did others turn on him?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

He built up some credibility and blew it. I don't worry about it that much.

I felt bad about that. It was like rabid dogs attacking or something.

hugs or it doesn't matter

[Shilzzz]

if it were samardzija, hammel, and valbuena for mckinnel, russell, and a supposed arm, who realistically would the pitcher be?

Apparently it's Ynoa. It might be Raul too.

Apparently it's Ynoa.

 

Or Alcantara...

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

the a's starting pitching prospects leave a lot to be desired from b-r scouting

[Shilzzz]

Alcantara hasn't pitched since [expletive] April. He may or may not have just had TJS.

 

Ynoa has flat out sucked, by the way. And both are on the 40 man, for what it's worth.

[Shilzzz]

ynoa is almost 23 in high a with an era over 7 and an xFIP at 4 in 28 innings out of the bullpen.

Who cares, pitchers are dumb and I don't want any.

Bosio will turn him into a superstar.

i'd rather have robertson than both alcantara and ynoa

I'm on vacation with my family but I made calls + am being told Cubs/A's talks are real. 1 source: "Deal could + I repeat could be stunning"

It better be Sonny Gray in that scenario
