Guest Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Castro was another very good young arm they gave up in the Tulowitzki trade by the way. You have to give the Jays credit for stockpiling this young talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
socaljake Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hoffman's also coming off TJS. Velocity is there but he hasn't missed many bats. And he's going where pitchers go to die (Coors Field). And pitchers are a risky asset. Tulo's had some injuries, but he's a proven player. One of the best in the league and still young. Plus, he can eventually move to DH now that he's in the AL which makes him even more appealing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
socaljake Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Astros just made a huge trade for Carlos Gomez and Mike Fiers. What a miserable 24 hours for Mets fans. First they don't get Gomez and we find out it was financial reasons. Then they choked away a 6 run lead today against a miserable Padres team. Now they find out another team gets Gomez lol.

The lost Gomez in the most Mets way possible. Milwaukee did well in the deal. Santana has looked awful on the MLB level thus far, but maybe he can adjust with a new team.

rns90 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Astros just made a huge trade for Carlos Gomez and Mike Fiers. What a miserable 24 hours for Mets fans. First they don't get Gomez and we find out it was financial reasons. Then they choked away a 6 run lead today against a miserable Padres team. Now they find out another team gets Gomez lol. They gave up a really good prospect in Brett Phillips to get Gomez/Fiers. Santana is sort of interesting too but I don't trust his plate discipline. But they did get Fiers in return who is an underated pitcher. Probably a trade I would say slightly favors the Astros. Mets are talking to the Reds about Jay Bruce. Apparently, Wheeler is the main piece that would go back to the Reds. They're not going to get that much salary relief from the Reds who are looking to dump salary. It's funny how they are discussing a guy who makes more than Gomez. Of course this is the same team that shelled out a bunch of cash for Michael Cuddyer (and gave up a first round draft pick) over the offseason. Giants acquire Mike Leake and send one of their top prospects over to the Reds. The pitcher in question is Keury Mella. But he is only in A ball though. And lastly, my Pirates finally made an impact move in picking up Joakim Soria from the Tigers. Good move since their bullpen is really questionable outside of the top 3 guys. Now get a 1b. They really need a starting pitcher as well but they won't pick one up because they don't want to dump/demote one of those bums at the back end of the rotation.

socaljake Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Adam Lind would be a nice pickup for the Pirates. I agree they need a 1B. Alvarez needs to be in the AL. Horrible defense. Ton of power but ton of swing and miss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtworsley Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Blue Jays are looking at Ben Revere after the Orioles acquired Parra. Apparently Arizona is desperate to land Chapman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
