Detroit and Oakland are like the US and the Soviets right now.

[Tryptamine]

Three team deal with Seattle and Detroit. Austin Jackson and Smyly going to Tampa Bay so far.

 

There had better be another big piece like Taijuan Walker coming otherwise that's just bad.

Heyman said Nick Franklin to TB too. That move the needle for ya?

[Burtonbell]

Austin Jackson and Drew Smyly will go to the Mariners, with Nick Franklin heading to Tampa. Price to Detroit, more players to be involved.

 

This is according to MLB Trade Rumors.

Smyly to Tampa, Heyman says.

[ConstableRabbit]

No way is that enough.

[Burtonbell]

Austin Jackson will go to the Mariners, per a tweet from Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com, with Nick Franklin and Drew Smyly heading to Tampa, according to Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune (via Twitter).

If James Russell gets traded today, his last heroic act was turning off some crappy techno in the clubhouse this morning. "This sucks."

It would have been better if he smashed it.

Deadline is over. Let's see what news finally trickles in.

[Illini Iceman]

Austin Jackson will go to the Mariners, per a tweet from Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com, with Nick Franklin and Drew Smyly heading to Tampa, according to Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune (via Twitter).

 

That can't be it. If Franklin and Smyly are worth Price then what we got from the A's looks even better.

If the cost was that low I wouldn't even have minded grabbing him for 2015 and taking my chances on extending him.

[Vanilla Ice]

I am pretty much exclusively up to date baseball wise with the Cubs and their minor leaguers. What would a comparable package from us have looked like?

[sneakypower]

maybe Wood & Contra?

[Neuby]

Nobody topped that offer for Price?!

[Tryptamine]

maybe Wood & Contra?

 

Alcantara has way more value than either Franklin or Smyly in my mind. I really don't think this is that far off of Almora+Hendricks.

[hawkeyecub]

Heyman says Seattle only gets Austin Jackson and only gives Nick Franklin to TB.

[gscool89]

RT @brianmctaggart : Cosart is on the field in street clothes, hugging coaches. Sounds like he's been traded.

MLB readiness matters. We don't have a Smyly, so if they were bent on getting a SP they could plug into the rotation right away or for 2015, there's no match there.

Do we even know what the offer was? Many times only major leaguers get mentioned in these rumors.

yeah, not sure why everybody is assuming the full deal has been reported via twitter

[gscool89]

Jarred Cosart to the Marlins

Martin Prado to the Yankees

I saw at least one reporter say Tigers 3B/SS prospect Willy Adames is also in the deal.
