Deadline Strategy

[jeep99tj]

Robert and Cease are available. Throw Bart, Harrison and another prospect in there?

for both?

they don’t even pick up the phone for less than Harrison AND Luciano. And that isn’t as a part of a potential package, that is just for them to start listening. Non-refundable door-fee.

More can be added to get the two. Don’t over spend but find out what is satisfying to both sides. This is just a start.

LOL no way Robert is available and his price would be much higher

Doubt Cease is but maybe

ChiSox claiming no player is off limits. Throw a bone their way and see if they bite. How high do they want to go will be the question.

I know what teams say just as someone who actually follows them, no way Robert goes and double no way to us. Whatever package it would take to get them to do it, we ain't offering.

Cease is almost the same thing.

Now I could see them dealing Eloy Jimenez but still that would cost us a LOT like Luciano + Harrison

No word on who we sent their way. It shouldn’t be much…

 

[calsnowskier]

If we gave up anything more than a half tank of low-grade fuel for the M’s AA team bus, we got hosed.

 

[calsnowskier]

Apparently Pollock is hurt. He was put on the 10-day on the 22nd, so he won’t even be eligible to play until Wednesday (I think).

Mathias is using his final option year this year, though he does appear to be doing alright in the minors this year. BBRef lists him as a 2B/RF. That is an odd combination.

We gave up nothing. Because we got nothing. These guys are worse than who we already have on the bench, not just the starters. If this move was so FZ can say he did something then fuck him.

They are both bums. Better be more coming. Like I said if Bart is still with us come tomorrow night then this deadline is a fail.

I think the major player to be named will be sweet, sweet cash.

What a stupid waste of time this trade is.

 

[Hangman]

no reason for this trade. It seems like a lets do something move with hope pollock turns around his crappy season.

Nah, it's short term coverage for Yaz and Haniger more than anything else. And some middle infield org depth.

Not a waste of time, just not the big move we are hoping for.

Nope. I mean, feel free to be pessimistic though.
