Trade Deadline rumors, musings, and such

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

 

They could probably use both in some fashion, but odd that they got Denorfia too.

[Illini Iceman]

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

 

I was thinking that the Rays were looking for something in the Taijuan Walker range so even if there are other minor league players involved I doubt there is anyone at that level.

An A's vs. Tigers ALCS will be so much damn fun if it happens.

Russell jogging back to pen.

 

Looks like no trade. Hopefully we can get those guys through waivers and deal them in August

 

Edit: whoops he's traded

I am confused.

They had to trade Jackson to open up #14.

How in the hell did Theo land Russell when that is all Price could get?

[hawkeyecub]

Russell is traded somewhere

Well, didn't Friedman actually turn down Russell?

That was the rumor, which makes this all the more baffling.

Yeah I'm wondering why the Rays didn't just hold on and try to get more in the winter. If not, just try to win it all next year or trade at the deadline.

Did he forget he didn't have to trade Price?

I think Friedman may be playing for this year.

So he trades his best pitcher he controls through next year for pieces that make his team worse now?
