Last Night, Chicago traded Jake Peavy to Boston who traded Jose Iglesias to Detroit because Jhonny Peralta is about to be suspended and Detroit sent Avisail Garcia to Chicago. Garcia is a typical White Sox hitter, low OBP. He'll fit right in with Chicago's group of hackers.
8:54: Well this is promising
Can't believe all the teams who say they have virtually nothing going. Exec:"I think this goes down in history as deadest deadline day ever"10:00: Yep, pretty much how I feel. Boring deadline.

Dear Trade Deadline, We all appreciate the foreplay and the teasing but it's time for some penetration. This room has an hourly rate.Update: kt1000 filled in again while I was away at meetings and doctor's appointments. (Thanks kt1000) Here's what happened:
— Jason Parks (@ProfessorParks) July 31, 2013
- The Orioles trades Hoes for Bud Norris.
- The Dodgers traded for the backup of the backup catcher from the Twins.
- Ian Kennedy went to San Diego for relievers.
- Justin Maxwell was traded to Kansas City for some reason.
- The Giants didn't trade anyone because when you can hold onto assets from a crappy team, you have to do it.
There is nothing happening. Watch a bunch of trades go down while I'm in court.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm insane for liking him, but I still hold out hope the Orioles make a move for Mike Morse instead of fooling around with the washed up Morneau.
ReplyDeleteJust what the Orioles need. Another low OBP player.
DeleteYep. Something is going to happen while I'm gone.
ReplyDeleteAlways a fan of the "one reporter tweets something, only to have someone else tweet the exact opposite 10 minutes later" phenomenon.
ReplyDeleteMore boring deadline ever? This is why I'll always contend the GM meetings ware always more fun than the actual trade deadline.
ReplyDeleteThis close to making this thread all about the wit & wisdom of Bob Carpenter & FP Santangelo.
ReplyDeleteJust do it. We need something. A live blog of their agony is better than this.
DeleteWE HAVE A TRADE!!!!...
ReplyDeleteExcept it's Ian Kennedy from Arizona to the Padres.
Kennedy to SD for Joe Thatcher, an AA reliever, & a draft pick. I hope this isn't the only thing that happens today.

ReplyDeleteWE HAVE ANOTHER MINOR MOVE!:
ReplyDeleteJustin Maxwell goes from Houston to KC. I can't wait for Rany Jazayerli's 5,000 word Grantland screed on this.
And it's official: Bud Norris to the Orioles for LJ Hoes and someone else. I want to cry.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for LJ Hoes to become Steve Finley 2.0.
