Gleeman stating at least 1 more deal.  Seems like Larnach and call it a day.  

Trading Larnach off an already struggling offense is a funny way of "going for it"...

That's not happening.

If Jeffers isn't traded, he's almost certainly getting tagged with a QO.

Uh, "no different"? Bradley was 6 years younger last year compared to Kremer now. Kremer has already pitched 700 innings in the majors, he's not a young arm like Bradley. I don't see much in common other than both were at their lowest point in their careers when traded.

You aren't catching the drift -  Tampa was frustrated with Bradley didn't think they could get full potential so traded him for another player that was worth 20 million excess value.   Baltimore is trading a player they view as a 5th/6th pitcher that they may have DFA'd at the end of the year.  They are taking a true flyer on a kid that is more raw than Brandon Winokur was.    I think the Twins see a #3 pitcher potentially in him for the remainder of this year and next.  At the very least a pitcher than can eat a lot of innings.

I bet we get Neto and Detmers

If they see a number 3 this year....they need new glasses.

I am not seeing the bargain basement prices you are referring to.  

This is based on what the Twins need, I think these are all more than reasonable deals for a team that considers itself a Buyer...

• Padres get: LHP Robbie Ray
• Giants get: RHP Miguel Mendez, IF Joniel Hernandez

• Brewers get: RHP Dustin May, LHP JoJo Romero
• Cardinals get: OF Alexander Frias, OF Carson Ragsdale

• Cubs get: RHP Kevin Gausman
• Blue Jays get: OF Brett Bateman, INF Ty Southisene

• Rays get: RHP Freddy Peralta
• Mets get: OF Aidan Smith, RHP Gary Gill Hill, 2B Émilien Pitre

And I'd be OK with him taking it. I'd also be OK with him not taking it, which I'd expect.

I miss the days where there were very few deals on deadline day.

Yankees getting Heliot Ramos from the Giants.

Seems like one of the three catchers is a given and at this point. And likely a 'staffer' would only be privy to the most obvious moves.

Why? This is how bad teams get better faster. It's very good for the health of the league.

Things fell off that badly for Mayer?

He has 36 innings.  We know you don't like him.  No different than several didn't like Bradley last year.   Its a bit of a gamble but its a fairly cheap one for an 18 year old international prospect.

I would imagine the "staffer" was told to leak that.

Per Ken Rosenthal: Giants are getting Marcelo Mayer from the Red Sox. That is definitely surprising.

Seigler passed him as far as 2B/3B goes on the team. But the Red Sox will regret this trade.

Getting more anxious every time I refresh this page.

I am shocked Mayer went for a reliever like Miller. But maybe it is more name recognition than anything.

He's been awful. But it is still light.

Because it doesn't matter what a team looks like on April 1. Or even July 31. Every team is completely different on trade day.

He is still 22. Seems like the Red Sox gave up on him really early. 

[lecroy24fan]

With the Philles adding Arraez they are moving Bryce Harper to the OF. Didn't see that coming.

Well, um, it sure matters to standings. And, what difference does it make if teams change over time? 

You don't want bad teams to get better?
