Latos, Morse to Dodgers

[sneakypower]

all the angst here over Hamels should all instead be directed toward how [expletive] paltry the Alex Wood return looks to be

 

he's Sale-lite, and it cost little more than a 30 year-old with 69 state-side ABs

[abuck1220]

and that 30 year old is owed $30 mil.

[sontensei]

Dodgers must have a secret tunnel to get in Fort Knox

[sneakypower]

and that 30 year old is owed $30 mil.

is Olivera worlds better than Peraza in terms of value? i don't see much indication to really think otherwise and evaluators have ranked them somewhat comparably

 

beyond that they give up Paco Hernandez, currently disabled with elbow problems, and get back a really nice rental SP and a [expletive] 24-year-old current #2 starter

 

i'm moderately incensed by this, it just makes absolutely zero sense, whatsoever...John Hart lost a bet / got black-out drunk

Yeah, I'm not sure what a comparable cost to us would've been, but that LA gets a guy like Wood (who rumor has it they're going to flip for Price, but they shouldn't), and they're in our league with their infinite resources, [expletive] sucks.

It's a truly shitty trade, no questions about that. My guess as to the Braves reasoning? Wood seems to be a ticking time bomb from an injury perspective. But mainly, they bid as aggressively as they could on Olivera themselves(4/40 and would have went higher supposedly) The Dodgers paying the signing bonus(28 mill) gives them Olivera at 5/32.5 or so. That obviously appeals to them.(good luck with an off-injured 30 year old)

 

At any rate, no clue how much trade value 28 mill has by Dave Cameron's [expletive], but it's probably the major part of the deal for the Braves.

i really think they'll still get Price without Wood/Urias

 

doing the full Rany Jazayerli / AJ Preller transaction rundown with Andrew Friedman's past 10 months would be about the most enraging/depressing exercise for a fan of any other team

and Peraza would have been on a 7/~40 deal

 

every single baseball pitcher on Earth is a ticking time bomb from an injury perspective...

1) That should tell you they value Olivera quite a bit more than that then, right?

 

2) Just because WE look at all pitchers that way doesn't mean all teams do the same.

3 team deal looks to be official. Dodgers also getting Arroyo in the deal along with Wood and Latos.

[sneakypower]

To Dodgers: Wood, Latos, Morse, Avilan, Johnson, Peraza, Arroyo

To Braves: Olivera, Paco, Bird, pick

To Marlins: Brigham, Guzman, Araujo

(source: Jeff Passan)

 

absolutely amazing how valuable salary "relief" from Morse/Arroyo/Johnson seemingly proved to be here; LAD floats about half of the Olivera contract and picks up the tab on a little more dead weight money elsewhere, effectively buying this guy

 

...at the trade deadline when the price of pitching is through the roof- just unbelievable

[Post Count Padder]

Is it just me or did the Dodgers win the trade by a mile?
