MLB - Trade Rumors and Speculation

[Pyro]

Well...we traded a pitcher who was 7-2 and 2.80 ERA and 8.4 SO/9 in AA this year.

Such a wonderful trade.

Really... wow. Fucking Used Car Salesman Antonetti.

Screw this team, if they don't get something done by the 31st I'm never going back to a game like the rest of the fan base.

Hunter Pence would fit in nice with Reds, Indians, or Dodgers.....

Wouldn't mind Pence.

Wouldn't mind Pence.

Pence was a great fit last year when we didn't go get him and his price is probably even higher this year with all the OF alternatives quickly diminishing. I'm not holding my breath.

Pence is a great idea to waste a prospect on to appease the fan base and still not win the division.

Wouldn't mind Pence.

Go get me pence and Hanley then were talking. It's time to be bold or just trade everyone for prospects and start this rebuild over again.

This video is from a few days ago, apparently pitching is are target if we make a move.

Easy, he's 5-9 170 pound 26-year-old in Double-A with two pitches.

Not exactly prospect material.

I wasn't protecting Ichiro. I was saying you always find a problem in every player/trade.

Right, because trading for a 3B with an OPS about equal to that of Jack Hannahan with a shittier attitude is all that's missing.

BOLD!

Not my fault he isn't a prospect.

But you've got the whole city freaking out because the Indians traded 26 year old undersized filler for a utility player...

 

[Pyro]

I don't think anyone is freaking out. We're just upset that this is seemingly the best they can do so far.

Right, I forgot I made a giant sign on the side of Progressive Field telling the city about how awful the trade is.

And since when is a pitcher undersized? I don't think height matters as long as the guy has an arm to throw a baseball.

That would be a good idea. There is a new-ish digital billboard near where the entrance to the parking for the second phase of the casino will be. You can see it clearly from the Jake. Let's all pitch together and buy it up with some anti-Antonetti message.

The best they can do would be not trading prospects in some joke attempt to please fans who will fucking hate them regardless, for a team that can't win the division with one or two players at the deadline because those guys are about half as good as the fans think they are.
