Horrible SS contracts of past and present collide - NYY @ TEX 7/27-7/30

Nothing gonna go our way tonight.

Figures

The Astros are now making a big push to acquire Hamels according to Crasnick

For all we know, the Phillies put that out there to try to push JD's buttons.

I read where the Diamondbacks could be interested in Hamels. They only have about $27 million in salary commitments for next year so they definitely have salary room to acquire him.

 

[romeo212000]

Martin needs to not be dumb here. We don't need a stolen base. We need base runners.

 

[Justinkm83]

Telis is being brought in poor spots. Whatever confidence he had coming in is gone

 

[romeo212000]

Odor has been awful tonight.

 

[Justinkm83]

Garbage.

 

[romeo212000]

Well that game was a kick in the nuts. Hope for better tomorrow.

He can block (and has stated he would block) a trade to the Astros.

@Ken_Rosenthal: BREAKING: Tulo traded to #BlueJays.

 

[RevSader]

Tulo and Hawkins to Jays for Reyes and minor leaguers...

Unless Tulo goes back to playing like he did last year, idk that this is a huge upgrade for them.

Why move him out of the freaking 2 hole, he was killing it there. Should be a lesson learned don't fuck it up, if something is working

Can you imagine that guy having even more injuries, playing that many games on that damn turf?

And he's owed 94 million the next 5 years.

I would be afraid he would go all David Wright on you long before that contract ended.

So many bad contracts in sports now.

 

[Bmurph]

So many bad contracts in sports now.

Can you imagine what you could catch a MLB game for in dollars, if not for all these ridiculous guaranteed contracts?

 

[Kelleyman]

Bad contracts is one reason you don't trade for Hamels. I don't mind giving up one pitcher and one LHB + but wonder if we could move prospects for prospects. Not sure what the hurry is. We need relief help in a huge way

JD gambled on the young guys holding down the bullpen and it has bit him in the ass

Not that the bullpen is the sole reason this team isn't a contender
