The 2012 MLB Trade Deadline Thead (JULY 31st)

[The War Report]

i know it won't happen but Josh Johnson for Mike Olt and Leonys Martin seems fair

No, it doesn't. JJ is a walking time bomb.

 

[Captain Crunch]

The Pirates are making chump moves. They ain't for real.

They don't want to give up Cole

 

[god shamgod]

Epstein is building a nice farm ,cubs are gonna be DEEP with young talent

And soriano might get moved

 

[King Theo]

They don't want to give up Cole

if we were to give up cole i would want a worthy name! but if that were to happen i would have no problem with that at all

Garza is injured. He'll probably get moved through waivers after the deadline though.

Garza is injured. He'll probably get moved through waivers after the deadline though.

he won't clear waivers. Teams will be blocking so they can keep the possibility of getting him in the winter alive

 

[HHR]

Yeah, zero chance Garza clears waivers

Dodgers Acquire Shane Victorino
By Tim Dierkes [July 31 at 10:58am CST]
Shane Victorino is returning to the organization that drafted him in 1999. The Dodgers acquired Victorino from the Phillies today for starting pitching prospect Ethan Martin and reliever Josh Lindblom, according to Yahoo's Tim Brown (Twitter link). It's been another active summer for Dodgers GM Ned Colletti, who also acquired Hanley Ramirez, Randy Choate, and Brandon League this month.

What i dont understand is why are the Phillies trying to trade Pence and Lee?

Phillies resigned Hamels they cant get rid of Utely or Howard why not try to make another run in the next year or two with your teams if theyre healthy?

Seems liek theyre tryign to kind of rebuild but they have too many bad contracts of older players to do that

I like that deal for both teams. Martin may turn out to be a decent piece, but he's not really close to that now....

...but victorino is have a pretty shytty year, way under his career average...and now he's a corner OF....:many:

If the Giants get Pence they win the exchange imo

 

[The War Report]

Pence to The Giants. Giants and Dodgers are bucking shots at each other.

 

[HHR]

And just like that...Giants acquire Hunter Pence...no word on who for yet

Move Kemp to RF and Ethier to LF.
