August, the Orioles, and the Trade Deadline all arrive: BAL @ TEX 8/1-3

[Nightcrawler]

Well it went both ways lol
Luis Ortiz, Ryan Cordell and Lewis Brinson didn’t really amount to much either.

Should’ve asked for Thornton or whatever his name was

Such a terrible trade for us. lucroy and Jeffress didn’t help us at all.

such potential though

 

[DTC]

Padres going all in

wo

Tell that to Woody?

ody has a job, probably not for much longer, but his primary job is to put the best team he can using the players he's got. if the FO pulled/traded Calhoun, Miller & Culberson and brought up prospects to replace them most of us would still have problems with his lineups because our favorites wouldn't be getting the playing time we want them to get

Have to think he feels like his job is on the line

But who knows. Alot of moving parts. Owners and FO may not be on the same page. Hard to really know

Other than the teams involved, I am not sure it has had any bearing on delaying other trades.

i think the owners and the FO are on the same page or the FO wouldn't have brought in Calhoun, Miller and Culberson. and Woody has to be on that same page, or he wouldn't be playing them as much as he does. he will be gone at or near the end of the season no matter what but whomever they bring in will probably find themself saddled with one or more "veterans" that don't fit and hinder the rebuild and we'll be griping next season because we'll be unhappy when they are on the field

Kelly is at 15 on our prospects list. Between Gutierrez and Wendzel.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

the Nats may have gotten a tiny bit fleeced here

If that was all it took to get Soto and Bell, I'm a bit pissed the Rangers didn't beat that.

How bad will this trade be if they don’t sign Soto to a long term deal.

It will be bad for Pads if they don’t score a WS IMO

and if that's the final count i have to wonder why the Rangers weren't more in.

 

[scotsman1948]

i would have thrown in Calhoun, Miller & Culberson. i would even throw in Lowe
