Trade Deadline/Rumors thread

[vols kick balls]

Former Reds Prospect Zach Stewart is the prospect. He was the key prospect in the Rolen deal last year.

Do the Brewers even have a decent prospect left?

There's a few guys in Huntsville that aren't bad.

Assuming that the Jackson/Rzepczynski/Dotel for Rasmus deal is done,at year's end,STL will have a lefty reliever/draft pick for Colby Rasmus

LOVE IT. So glad to get Rasmus out of the NL.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

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.

Arencibia beat me to it. Terrible trade for the Cards IMO.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

Agreed. Guess the St. Louis brass had to make LaRussa happy.

And now it's sounding like Beltran to the Giants for OF Gary Brown.

 

[vols kick balls]

It looks like Carlos Beltran is indeed going to the Giants, tweets Yahoo's Tim Brown, with logistics being worked out. Specifically, Brown's source says that there's "good likelihood" of Beltran going to the Giants. Just minor details remain, tweets SI's Jon Heyman.
A key development may have been the Giants' willingness to include center field prospect Gary Brown, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.

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.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

Belt may be included in the Beltran trade, just a rumor.

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

Um, I would have taken Neimann or Davis. Those two have really good potential. Jackson is an above average pitcher.

Belt may be included in the Beltran trade, just a rumor.

Belt and Brown for Beltran? What a steal for the Mets if that's true!!!

 

[zjcvols]

The Mets asked for a Teheran-Beltran swap

:lolabove:

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.

 

[vols kick balls]

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!!!

 

[zjcvols]

Not too mention they have Shelby Miller. Are the Cards Stoned?

 

[vols kick balls]

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 Jocketty thinking!!!

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

Sorry, Jocketty is with the Reds now. Still recovering from the game last night lol

Now Olney is saying Wheeler as centerpiece for Beltran.

I love Zach Wheeler.

He needs to cut down on the walks but his stuff is fantastic. I definitely wouldn't trade him for a rental of Beltran.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

Wheeler, Brown, and Belt.

Crap.

 

[zjcvols]

Wheeler, Brown, and Belt.

Crap.

I am now haunted as a Braves fan. That is ridiculous. What the hell is Sabean thinking?
