Let the trades begin

[molsaniceman]

Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the Dodgers are finalizing a trade with the Royals for Danny Duffy.​

Duffy, 32, does have a no-trade clause, but he's expected to waive that per Passan. The Royals are expected to receive a player to be named later in the deal. He's also currently on the injured list with a flexor strain, and is expected to be ready near the end of August. He's been a starter for Kansas City -- and a good one in 2021 -- but Passan notes that the left-hander could be used as a multi-inning reliever while he's with the Dodgers. Expect an announcement on this one shortly.

Wonder if that is compensation since Duffy is hurt with the flexor strain. Last report a few days ago he is still 3-4 weeks away from returning.

Pure stealth. No one had Rizzo connected to the Yankees

Cubs got a pretty good return for a rental

Could be sort of a converse of the trade that got the Cubs their WS.

 

[navamind]

Jesus fucking christ. I'm guessing Lux and Ruiz will be gone

and like smoltz said on tv just resign him next year

Keibert Ruiz was scratched from tonight's minor league game.

Im livid if I'm a Pads fan

I mean it’s just getting ridiculous. Just trade for the All-Star team. Is their payroll now? 400M? This is getting stupid.

 

[catman]

It appears that the Dodgers are serious about repeating. They need to replace Bauer somehow.

It only took them 100 games to figure out that a lefthanded hitter might be useful in Yankee stadium

Lol true. But they're only 3 out of the WC. Still time to make a push. Still not doing anything in the playoffs with those starters but I think they'll at least make the playoffs with these additions

Yeah, getting Rizzo and Gallo in the same week could be one of the biggest midseason upgrades ever, provided they do what you'd expect them to.

Rizzo has been heating up the lasr few weeks . I feel like he's going to have a huge lasr 60 with that short porch

 

[navamind]

Wow, they didn't part with May or Lux.
