housemd 338 Posted July 16, 2012 I heard the Rays may try and trade James Shields, something they should've done in the offseason when his value was at its' absolute max. Well,his value is very high right now and if they wanted to trade him,they would get a lot in return.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Milla4Prez63 678 Posted July 16, 2012 Well,his value is very high right now and if they wanted to trade him,they would get a lot in return.. He has been getting lit up his last few starts and his value was way higher last winter coming off a career year that he is unlikely to match again. We have depth in the pitching department, we need some bats. Especially with how badly we are suffering without Longoria and Joyce. Hideki Matsui having to play a role is just awful lol, dude is complete dog shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted July 16, 2012 Obviously a trade would be the most obvious reason for pushing his start back, but he has gotten blown up a bit lately... Who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge+ 3,436 Posted July 20, 2012 The Houston Astros have made a 10-player trade with the Toronto Blue Jays this evening, General Manager Jeff Luhnow has announced. Houston will ultimately receive seven players from Toronto in the deal, including two Major League players, RHP Francisco Cordero and OF Ben Francisco, four minor league players, RHP Joe Musgrove, RHP Asher Wojciechowski, LHP David Rollins and C Carlos Perez, and a player to be named later. Two of the players the Astros received are former first-round draft picks. In exchange for the seven players, the Astros have sent RHP Brandon Lyon, LHP J.A. Happ and RHP David Carpenter to the Blue Jays. “This is a very good deal for us,” Luhnow said. “Once again we are adding depth to our minor league system with quality young players. We really feel this will help us moving forward and are extremely excited about the players we’ve added to our organization.” For the past several seasons, Cordero has been one of the top closers in baseball. His 329 career saves rank second among active players to Mariano Rivera. In 794 career appearances, all in relief, he has a 3.28 career ERA and has reached 40 or more saves three times in his career. Prior to the trade, he was 3-5 with two saves in 41 appearances for Toronto this season. Francisco, 30, has a .259 career average with 45 home runs in 483 career Major League games with the Indians, Phillies and Blue Jays. He was hitting .244 (11x45) in 23 games for Toronto in 2012. Both Cordero and Francisco were in their first seasons in Toronto. The 19-year-old Musgrove (6-5, 230 lbs) was Toronto’s first pick in the first compensation round of the 2011 draft. In two appearances (one start) with Rookie Level Bluefield in 2012, he was 0-0 with a 1.12 ERA (1ER/8.0IP) with no walks and nine strikeouts. Musgrove made a combined nine appearances (seven starts) with Bluefield and Toronto’s Gulf Coast League club in 2011. Wojciechowski (6-4, 235), who is 23 years old and was Toronto’s first selection in the first compensation round of the 2010 draft, was 7-3 in 18 starts at Class A Dunedin this season with a 3.57 ERA (37ER/93.1IP) and 76 strikeouts. In his last seven starts, he was 5-1 with a 1.49 ERA (7ER/41.2IP). Wojchiechowski has an 18-12 career record in 46 minor league appearances (43 starts) with a 4.05 ERA. Rollins, 22, was 6-1 with a 2.78 ERA in 18 starts with Class A Lansing this season with 75 strikeouts in 77.2 innings pitched. The 6-1, 195 lb. southpaw was born in Deberry, TX and attended San Jacinto College North in Houston. Rollins, who was drafted by Toronto in 2011, has a 10-1 career minor league record in 25 starts with a 2.46 ERA with 104 strikeouts in 113.1 innings of work. Perez, 21, hit .269 in 70 games at Lansing with 21 doubles, five triples, five home runs and 40 RBI. In five minor league seasons (2008-12), he has a .279 career average in 332 games with 70 doubles, 24 triples and 11 home runs. For Houston this season, Lyon was 0-2 with a 3.25 ERA in 37 relief appearances, Happ was 7-9 with a 4.83 ERA in 18 starts and Carpenter, who is currently with Triple A Oklahoma City, was 0-2 in 30 relief appearances for the Astros with a 6.07 ERA. http://www.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120720&content_id=35238954&vkey=pr_hou&c_id=hou&partnerId=aw-7119523136731341375-996 @jonmorosi Source: #Rockies starter Jeremy Guthrie traded to #Royals for Jonathan Sanchez.

housemd 338 Posted July 24, 2012 Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that the Blue Jays are interested in Marlins right-hander Josh Johnson.The Blue Jays are also interested in Hanley Ramirez, but they are more motivated to acquire Johnson because of their need for starting pitching. The 28-year-old is quickly emerging as a popular trade target after the Marlins opened shop on Monday by dealing Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante to the Tigers. However, Scott Miller of CBSSports.com reported on Monday night that the Marlins would prefer to him. Johnson 28, has a 4.14 ERA and a 105/35 K/BB ratio in 119 2/3 innings this season and is under contract for $13.75 million in 2013. and.. Ryan Dempster told reporters Tuesday that he will take "much of the next week" to decide on a potential trade.The Cubs nearly finalized a deal on Monday that would have sent Dempster to the Braves for 22-year-old right-hander Randall Delgado. But Dempster has 10-and-5 rights, which allow him to veto any trade, and is taking his time deciding whether he wants to go to Atlanta. The Cubs are also said to be engaged in negotiations with the Dodgers. Dempster expects to make his scheduled start for Chicago on Wednesday afternoon.

Sarge+ 3,436 Posted July 24, 2012 @Ken_Rosenthal Hamels, Greinke, J. Johnson only real considerations for #Rangers as they mull rotation options. Not interested in lesser starters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted July 24, 2012 Apparently the Phillies have made a final offer to Hamels in the neighborhood of 6 years, $140 million. With all the activity going on around the league right now, the Phils need to give Cole a hard deadline, and if he doesn't accept, ship his ass off to Texas for a haul of prospects. Also, I heard that Hunter Pence is generating interest. Yes please. Bring back Dom Brown! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC 331 Posted July 25, 2012 Hanley Ramirez was just traded to the Dodgers. MLB Trade Rumors: Dodgers Acquire Hanley Ramirez, According To Report Jul 24 11:42p by Scott Coleman READ MORE: Hanley Ramirez (3B - MIA), Randy Choate (P - MIA), Nathan Eovaldi (P - LAD), Miami Marlins, Los Angeles Dodgers The Los Angeles Dodgers have reached a deal to acquire Miami Marlins shortstop/third baseman Hanley Ramirez, according to multiple reports late Tuesday night. It is yet to be confirmed by either club, but it appears the deal has in fact gone down. In addition to Ramirez, the Dodgers will receive reliever Randy Choate. Initial reports indicate Los Angeles will send Nathan Eovaldi and pitching prospect Scott McGough to the Marlins. Eovaldi was a top-prospect for the club, but he has struggled for most of the season in L.A. McGough was a fifth round selection in 2011. Here is the initial report from Jon Morosi of FOX Sports.
