MLB 2015 - JULY


Dolfan in NYC

First you'll need to get Flores off of the field, as he's found out about being traded and then the Mets have inexplicably let him continue playing. He's near-distraught on the field.

It doesn't surprise me at all that the Mets would leave a player on the verge of being traded in the game. That seems like a very Met thing to do.

The Mets just out-Metsed themselves. Amazing.

 

Phillies got a good package for Hamels. Can't complain about this one. Six for two, including three of Texas's top ten (at worst, depending how outlets feel about some guys).

 

Braves are going to be dumping Avilan, Jim Johnson, and...Alex Wood?!?!?! to the Dodgers for Morse, the draft pick from Miami, and Hector Olivera. Hate hate hate this.

Apparently a rumor popped up about Gomez having some sort of hip issue, because Scott Boras came out guns blazing vehemently denying it. So we can all put that silly notion aside, because if Scott Boras says it isn't true.....

Hamels apparently used his no-trade to block a deal to the Astros

 

The Rangers (and Yankees) were the only AL teams he couldn't block trades to

Here is the updated three way dance - write up from trade rumors

 

 

JULY 29: The Dodgers, Marlins and Braves have reportedly swung what appears to be one of the most complex three-team trades in recent history, though nothing will become official tonight. The “basic” structure of the deal (though there’s nothing basic about this move) is as follows: the Dodgers will receive right-hander Mat Latos and first baseman Michael Morse from the Marlins. They’ll also add top prospect Jose Peraza and pitchers Alex Wood, Jim Johnson and Luis Avilan from the Braves. Atlanta, in turn, will receive Cuban infielder Hector Olivera, lefty Paco Rodriguez and minor leaguer Zachary Bird from the Dodgers. The Braves are also picking up Miami’s Competitive Balance Round A pick in next year’s draft (No. 35 overall). The Marlins will come out of this deal with three minor league pitchers — Kevin Guzman, Jeff Brigham and Victor Araujo — plus the financial relief of shedding the remaining $14.3MM that is owed to Latos and Morse.

Word going around is that Wilponzis backed out over financial issues. They are pondscum.

Bernie Madoff single-handedly destroyed the Mets franchise.  It's truly amazing.

To be fair, its not like the Mets were a model franchise before that. I know they made a WS in 2000, but  the Mets have always been pretty disfunctional. . . .
