Trade Deadline/Rumors thread

Here's the final deal.

Colby Rasmus, Trever Miller, Brian Tallet and P.J. Walters for Jackson, Marc Rzepczynski, Dotel and Corey Patterson.

And Miller is supposed to go to the Sox from the Jays. Pending approval from Commish's office due to money.
 
Agreed. Guess the St. Louis brass had to make LaRussa happy.
That is exactly what happened, but it looks like they had a much better offer on the table.

Rasmus is a popular trade target. ESPN's Buster Olney tweets that the Rays offered one of Jeff Niemann, Wade Davis, and Alex Cobb, and the young center fielder is very much available. The Indians have interest as well.
 
Bad trade for STL. Jackson is not that good.

Good deal for the Mets. Brown has huge upside.

Thist most likely means the Braves are getting B.J. Upton.

I'm relieved a little bit that the Braves didn't get Beltran. He may turn out great but man he's risky.

I wouldn't have mine a Minor or Delgaod swap for Beltran. I don't think that would have been a good trade, but I get it. I was just worried about who would play center.
 
Um, I would have taken Neimann or Davis. Those two have really good potential. Jackson is an above average pitcher.
I would have taken any of the three the Rays offered over Jackson. If I'm STL I would have done the deal as soon as they said they were willing to give me Alex Cobb.

I didn't even realize Cobb was available! What idiots!!! Just get an average starter and you have Wainwright-Garcia-Carpenter-Cobb-Westbrook next year!!! Dear Lord, what was the STL FO thinking!!!

Jocketty was probably laughing at the Cardinals if I had to guess.
