Craig H Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yeah. Something's about to break. Russell has already made his way to the dugout and now teammates are hugging Bonifacio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'm really happy. Basically trading Franklin for Austin Jackson is a great move for the Mariners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yeah. Something's about to break. Russell has already made his way to the dugout and now teammates are hugging Bonifacio.

Craig H Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Honestly...props to Russell. He had a shaky start to this year, but how his arm didn't fall off I don't know. He was one of the most overused relievers I can think of. Quade and Sveum did their best to ruin him, but he's still going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdA Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 OK goddamnit. Russell and Bonifacio to Atlanta. For what, I don't know. And to finish off the Price deal - #Rays also get minor-league SS Willy Adames from #Tigers in Price trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 And there we go. Shithead Gordon Wittenmyer is saying Bonifacio and Russell are indeed headed to Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to finish off the Price deal - #Rays also get minor-league SS Willy Adames from #Tigers in Price trade. Wait, Franklin is a SS, too. Why are they trying to corner the market on SS prosects. Who do they think they are, the Cubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Doesn't matter. You take a SS and move them somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdA Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 One last clarification on the Marlins-Astros deal: Cosart, Hernandez and Austin Wates from #astros to #Marlins for Marisnick, Moran, comp pick and a young pitcher. Young pitcher #Astros are getting from #Marlins in Cosart deal is Francis Martes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdA Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) And all I am seeing so far is the Braves are sending a minor league catcher to the Cubs. EDIT!!!! Said catcher is Victor Caratini Edited July 31, 2014 by EdA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 If Bonifacio keeps playing like he does, and gets some time off here and there so he doesn't start to slide, he could be a tremendous addition to the Braves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Seriously, the Tigers bullpen is a friggin' grease fire. Soria comes in, gets tagged (again). 3 straight awful appearances. Chamberlain gets tagged for 2. Albuquerque gave up a homer and looked bad today. They have literally no one that comes in and you EXPECT to not have them scored on. NOT. ONE. GUY. And then there's Alex Avila - the .214 hitting catcher who strikes out in 33% of all plate appearances and is mediocre, at best, behind the plate. But, hey, we've got the last three Cy Young winners.

The Man Known as Dan Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Becomes our top catcher prospect (unless you consider Schwarber one), but that feels like a middling return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'd say Schwarber is the Cubs top catcher prospect, but Caratini is a switch hitter, so there is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 But, hey, we've got the last three Cy Young winners. And still not as good a rotation as Oakland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdA Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'd say Schwarber is the Cubs top catcher prospect, but Caratini is a switch hitter, so there is that. Well, Catarini was the Braves 2nd round pick in 2013. And yeah, he is a switch hitter. If it eases the pain, the Cubs sent cash to the Braves in the deal too.
