Starlin Traded to Yankees for Adam Warren & Brendan Ryan

[Little Slide Rooter]

Oh god Brendan Ryan

 

Isn't that just white for Jonathan Herrera?

[Guest]

So does this addition make Hammel available in trade? And what can we get for him? Maybe a short term catcher to fill the impending arrival of Contreras?

 

let's just get hammel's awesome first half out of him and then trade him at the all star break to a dumb GM who doesn't know how to find his second half career numbers on b-r or fangraphs.

 

Figuring that Theo is needing to move some payroll to make Heyward fit. He can trade Montero, Hammel and Wood. Between these three, they should be able to get a stop gap C to fill in until Contreras is ready to take over full time.

 

And don't the Cubs still have LaStella? Wonder what the need to include Ryan was for.

I have a Yankees fan in secret Santa tomorrow. Giving him my old Castro tshirt after I go to the gym in the morning.

I hope you're saying you're going to wear it at the gym and then give it to him.

[Little Slide Rooter]

We have Baez and La Stella still. Why the hell do we want Brendan Ryan? We already rid ourselves of Darwin Barney.

 

I don't think we so much want him as the Yankees were all "hey, do you guys want this, cause we're just going to toss it." And we were all "uh, yeah, sure. I mean we don't really need it, but if you don't have any use for it, sure. Worst case scenario, we give it to goodwill for a tax deduction."

Add some new sweat stains on there for him.

Were the Yankees just looking for someone to DFA Ryan for them?

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Ryan was probably included so it's the Cubs and not the Yankees who have to pay him the remaining $1 million on his contract when they cut him this week.

That is what I am saying.

Why would you ruin the beauty of that joke, Sofa?

That was my thought, though he's not making much anyway. I don't think he's long for the Cubs.

[TruffleShuffle]

ryan is under contract to make $1 million in 2016, it's probably just something to do with 2016 salary and the yankees wanting to dump his salary. if the cubs don't want him they'll just release him, no big deal. i'm guessing the cubs dump him if baez is still on the roster and maybe keep him around if they still need a backup shortstop.

In related news, even Theo has forgotten that Arismendy Alcantara exists.

this is from March of 2015, but a good write up on Adam Warren's repertoire

who are you replacing montero with? if you're really going for it in 2016 - and all indications are that the cubs are - i'm not too big on trading out a catcher with a solid bat and a good glove for some replacement-level dud.

i'm happy starlin got to experience some winning here at least once. he was stuck on such [expletive] teams.

as much as I hope Mendy succeeds, I'm afraid at this point he just sucks.

 

if all the other super prospects work out, i'm totally fine sacrificing Alcantara

[OleMissCub]

i'm totally fine sacrificing Alcantara

 

As long as you film it and put it on the net

I wonder what the Bosio effect will have

[Little Slide Rooter]

So out are Dexter Fowler, Starlin Castro, Fernando Rodney, and Jonathan Herrerra. Possibly Jorge Soler in the near future.

 

In are John Lackey, Ben Zobrist, Adam Warren, Rex Brothers, and Brendan Ryan.

 

I feel as though there's a trend here, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
