2014 Trade Deadline

[Darkstone42]

Orioles are close to landing Lester.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Yep, in order to offer a QO, the player has to have been on your team at least 1 full year.

Thought so.

So is what Cleveland got back for Masterson better than a first round pick? Or is Ramsey good return?

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Boston trading Felix Doubront to Chicago Cubs.

Yikes! Red Sox are cleaning house!

Orioles are close to landing Lester.

Fuck.

 

[pixburgher66]

So, two sources say O's close to getting Lester, then NYPost and Bowden at ESPN say it's not close, and they're talking to many teams still.


Ah, journalism in the twitter age.

 

[pixburgher66]

Rosenthal just said his sources say nothing is imminent either, so.

Yay!

 

[Darkstone42]

Okay, so the Orioles are in on Lester, at least.

 

[molsaniceman]

FOX Sports' Jon Morosi reports that the Cubs have an agreement in place to acquire Felix Doubront from the Red Sox.
Doubront has fallen out of favor in Boston, but he should get his wish to start again with the Cubs. The lefty holds a career 4.82 ERA, but he's just 26 and has a career 8.1 K/9 rate, so it's probably worth a shot for Chicago if they don't give up much.

 

[pixburgher66]

Yay!

Today is reaching #JagrWatch and #IginlaWatch territory for this Pittsburgher.


I doubt it will end as painfully as JagrWatch though. Gut punch.


The Lester/Bucs thing does feel so incredibly similar to the Iginla/Pens situation.

We'll see if Duquette is as much of a baby as Chiarelli was...

 

[pixburgher66]

Sox asking for Bundy/Gausman from the O's. *reasons trading in the division is impossible*

One of my favorite pressers ever. Obviously the B's got the last laugh(s) there, but...that was enjoyable.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

I wouldn't give up much for any rental. The asking price for these guys is ridiculous.

Yes, yes it is. Question: how do you feel about the Padres approach thus far? Seems like they're holding on to their chips (Benoit, Kennedy).

Yep. Sellers market right now... Which is probably why Boston has everyone on the block...

I would much like Kennedy.

 

[steveringo]

Indians in on Lackey?

Sounds like the Royals have acquired Bonifacio from the Cubs.

 

[pixburgher66]

You know what's fun (or in another lens, upsetting)? Searching a players name on the twitter.

My favorite: "If we trade Lester I hope to at least get McCutchen back."

There was also the Cardinals fan praying to the baseball gods. Those fans deserve a break
