It doesn't even matter if Albies jumped him on the prospect list, he's still the second prospect at the worst and a potential great lead-off hitter for years to come.

And before someone says anything about potential, that's literally all Olivera is, potential, and he's eight years older with elbow problems. Peraza for Olivera straight up is too much, but to also give up Alex Wood, a proven 25 year old pitcher, for Zach Bird, the 15th prospect in the Dodgers farm system, and a draft pick is absurd.

Wonder who gets sent down: Recker or Kevin.

Recker.

Three-team deal involving #Braves, #Marlins, #Dodgers also not fully completed. ATL telling some of players involved not done.

It's probably hard to make trades when your opponents are just circling the bases making you nauseous.

Are they also throwing in Freeman and paying his full salary?

Williams lifted from the game in Frisco.

TR Sullivan ‏@Sullivan_Ranger 2m2 minutes ago

Jerad Eickhoff and C Jorge Alfaro are in deal from Texas

 

[jello44]

I would like to know what the Astros were going to give up for Hamels. If the rumors were true.

I guess they knew they were out so their focusing on getting pitching from the Padres.

It's like a drug.

 

[Enron]

Williams lifted from the game in Frisco.

i was kinda hoping neither Nick nor Brinson were in the deal, but I guess that's just wishful thinking. One of them had to go. At least it wasn't Mazara.

 

[Osorio]

Duda with 3 HRs!

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

3 hrs for Duda!

 

[SRTtoZ]

Lifted his foot off 2nd.

 

[GK86]

Duda ate his Wheaties today.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Duda with 3 HRs, all solo though...

Yeah Nick kinda seemed like a sell high trade candidate because he's left handed, not a true CF and blocked. His hitting skills are awesome and he took a huge stride forward this season. I'm al little bummed to see him go.

 

[RGVNOE]

looks like we getting shutout by Cincy in 2 straight nights

 

[jbug617]

So far it looks like the Rangers are giving up Williams, Eickhoff and Alfaro for Hamels. It's being reported that there are more players involved on both teams in the deal.

 

[Malo]

Yankees aren't going to do any major deals, are they? Ugh.

Williams, Eickhoff and Alfaro are in. Told Phillies getting more and ... so are Rangers.

Amaro posturing Hamels with Texas. Probably trying to get this whole Dodgers angle sorted to get the best deal.

[Macattk15]

God damnit! Doesn't anyone want Hisashi Iwakuma for something!

 

[Enron]

God damnit! Doesn't anyone want Hisashi Iwakuma for something!

Iwakuma for Andrus. Who says no?

 

[BFIB]

Hamels, Darvish, Holland, Lewis.

Rangers gonna be sick next year.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Shit, Holliday torn quad.

Dang, same quad? He just got back too...

 

[cashman]

Alec Asher is in the deal going to philly

 

[aFIGurANT]

Piscotty vs. Upton/Cespedes?

I'd say play Piscotty.

 

[BumRush]

LOL WHAT are the Mest doing

?

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Fuck you Amaro. Burn in hell you fuck face.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Friedman better get this 3-team deal done before John Hart sobers up.

 

[cashman]

Deal is done.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Piscotty vs. Upton/Cespedes?

I'd say play Piscotty.

Go with Piscotty for me.

 

[BFIB]

Hummel saying its strained, not torn. But likely back to the DL.

 

[jbug617]

Alec Asher is in the deal going to philly

@Ken_Rosenthal Told even more players in Hamels deal than what is being reported by others: Hamels, Diekman, cash for Alfaro, Williams, Eickhoff, Asher.

Still can't believe Amaro didn't wait to see what happens with Price

 

[Enron]

ITS

HAPPENING

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Piscotty vs. Upton/Cespedes?

I'd say play Piscotty.

Piscotty. Upton and Cespedes are better, but will cost a lot. Prices for players just shot way up for the Cardinals

What's the most frustrating about these past two games is that if they're playing in GABP the Cardinals likely sweep - lot of hard hit fly balls that die at the warning track at Busch that would be HRs there

A strain is a tear. It's just a matter of how severe it is

Bob Nightengale @BNightengale: The Houston #Astros had put together a strong package #Phillies Cole Hamels, but he exercised his no-trade rights, and ends up w #Rangers.

 

[TheOohChild]

Giving cash and taking on Harrison is some prime time GMing from Amaro

edit - nm, Jake Thompson included

@Evan_P_Grant 2m2 minutes ago
FInal deal and its a doozy: Matt Harrison, Alec Asher, Jerad Eickhoff, Nick Williams, Jorge Alfaro & Jake Thompson for Hamels+Diekman+Cash.

Kinda sad about Thompson too. Was an old teammate of mine back in the day and wanted to see him play for Texas.
