It is a 3 team deal, Price only Ray on the move.

Reports are Smyly and Austin Jackson are involved. That seems like a lot.

 

[HammerDown]

Who'd have thunk it, Parrot?

Austin Jackson to M's, Smyly and Nick Franklin to TB.

Scherzer/Price/Sanchez/Verlander/Porcello is a damn good rotation, especially if (though that's looking more and more like a pretty big "if") Verlander starts pitching better.

Damn fine playoff rotation...

Scherzer, Price, Verlander, and Porcello

 

[jdwills126]

Hell forgot about Sanchez..ha ha

Seems like the value of prospects is so high these days teams would rather trade players on their 25man roster. The new normal?

 

[element1286]

So everyone keeping prospects but trading 25 man roster players? Strange deadline.

 

[navamind]

Smyly and Franklin are intriguing, but it seems like a pretty underwhelming return for Price.

They pulled Austin Jackson off the field in the middle of the inning ... one of the strangest things I've ever seen. Fare well Austin Jackson, your a class act!!!

Agreed. Wonder if Friedman turned down better offers earlier expecting them to increase in value as the deadline approached?

Some prospects you need to put on the 40 man roster, so it saves that roster spot too.

Tampa is playing well, its not really a throw in the towel move to them.

This Oakland Detroit Rivalry is pretty nasty.

Yep. Deadline day is always funny... I forgot who it was, but the Red Sox once acquired a releiver from the team they were playing against. He got up from his bullpen, went the Sox locker room to change, and then sat in the Boston dugout.

 

[RobBase]

WOW!

I think it's the opposite.

I don't think teams want to settle for guys who may make the club one day.

Price makes that pitching staff insanely good. WS bound?
