Seattle coming in 7-31 thru 8-2.

I wonder how that guy seems to get traded every year. He was good early on in his career but has been totally mediocre the last 3 or 4 years

It's quiet..... too quiet

I'm hoping JD has told LAD to grow up and pony up or he's not talking to them. And then also on the phone with Yu trying to get the OK to send to CLE

Could be for Josh Reddick for all we know. Traded doesn't mean traded for value.

Glad they got him but why. Another of Life's mystery's.

Probably a JJ barea situation. "we can fix him, he was good for us before". They might be right.

Wonder if we got Brinson for him.

Looks like the Wahoo boys are actively looking for a LHP pen arm in the last couple of hours:

Indians Still Looking To Add Reliever

By Jeff Todd | July 31, 2017 at 1:06pm CDT

We have heard all manner of connections today regarding the Indians, but it has emerged now — with about two hours left til the deadline — that Cleveland is focused on adding a reliever. The team is optimistic of finding a pen arm of some kind today, Jon Morosi of MLB.com tweets.

While the focus may be on a lefty, particularly one that would hold out the promise of some impact, that doesn’t appear to be an exclusive aim of the Cleveland brass. Jon Heyman of Fan Rag does tweet, though, that a southpaw would be preferred, and indeed Cleveland has been tied to some high-end lefties. Indeed, there were suggestions this morning that the Indians were “pushing” for Orioles lefty Zach Britton.

Among the targets is old friend Joe Smith, per Ken Rosenthal of MLB Network (Twitter link). Smith has thrown well this year for the Blue Jays and recently returned from a lengthy DL stint. He is earning just $3MM this year and would deepen the overall unit, though he’s not really a top option for facing lefties. Smith has been much stingier when facing same-handed hitters over his career and in 2017.

Anyone know the history of prospects given up by LAD? Have they been burned recently? We are talking about a known asset during a strong playoff run for an unknown kid.

This is the deal they made to get Reddick and Hill last year:

LAD gave up three pitching prospects for Hill and Reddick last year at deadline. Their farm may be deplete of what we really need.
