Bas-tardo traded to pirates.

The Phillies get a double A starter with a 4.89 ERA. Nothing exiting about this trade.

Phillies get a doubles A starter with a high ERA in return. Nothing exiting about this give away deal!

Retardo gone for 23 year old, 4.84 Joely Rodriguez. I'm laughing out loud.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea I agree.

 

[Retroram52]

That figures. Let's see. Let's keep Howard and Utley while we get rid of Rollins. More crazy shit if you ask me. At least they finally dumped Retardo.

Hopefully this means Hamels is going to Boston and Bogaerts is included in the package coming to Philly. Bogaerts plays SS until Crawford is ready and then moves to 3B. Franco to 1B.

 

[Retroram52]

That is what is being floated amongst the pundits Deano.

I looked up the word "Meh" in the dictionary and there was a picture of this trade....

At least they're doing something

 

[Retroram52]

I agree Cedrique. Perhaps they are actually overcoming inertia rather than thinking they are and this may actually create some cognitive momentum to convince the FO they need to continue. Perhaps!

Retardo was fun. I'll miss that. But Noely Joely? wtf.
