Kipnis and Pestano for Soriano...!!! Wow. What is Theo smoking in the Cubs front offices?
What the hell are you talking about?
Shapiro didn’t address specifically acquiring someone like Alfonso Soriano from the Cubs. That notion sounds great until you look at his contract and see he’s due to be paid $18 million next season — and until you realize the Cubs asked for 2B Jason Kipnis and RP Vinnie Pestano in return. Is Soriano worth Kipnis and Pestano?
He was reading from the article I posted.
If we trade Kipnis and Pestano for Soriano, I am officially becoming a Reds fan.
TRADE DEADLINE: GIANTS REPORTEDLY INTERESTED IN INDIANS CLOSER CHRIS PEREZ
The Giants, 13th in bullpen ERA in the majors, are interested in some late-game help, according to Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi.
Rosenthal and Morosi reported on Monday that San Francisco is interested in Cleveland closer Chris Perez. The two said that Cleveland might be unopposed to moving Perez because of its bullpen depth and the fact that he will likely earn about $7 million in the second year of arbitration.
Both also reported that Indians right fielder Sin-Shoo Choo is another attractive player on the trade market.
Perez, 27, is 26-for-28 in save opportunities this season and has a 3.06 ERA.
Who do the Giants even have to be worthwhile? Cp and Wolson would give them a crazy(literally) tandem.
Brandon Belt, Heath Hembree, and Jarret Parker/Chris Dominguez.Brandon Belt would have been an untouchable prospect at the beginning of the season, but he has struggled to find expected power numbers as their first baseman and now it looks like the Panda might be moved to first. I added a list of what they have in the minors.
Brian Wilson had Tommy John surgery at the start of the season, hence their need for relievers.
Brandon Belt, Heath Hembree, and Jarret Parker.
Those are three with the Giants who I would deal Perez for. Gotta get a haul for a closer like him; Similar to the deal the Red Sox made for Bailey.
At the time of the trade the Athletics didn't even get that much for Bailey, who is better than Perez. Looks better now because of Josh Reddick, but no one expected him to have this type of season.
