BrianS81177 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Good god. That Yankee bullpen is intimidating. Adding Robertson and Kahnle to Betances and Chapman? That's a hell of a foursome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the Giants are going to bring back Sandoval if he passes medicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise about the Giants bringing Sandoval back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Quote The Seattle Mariners acquired right-handed reliever David Phelps from the Miami Marlins after the teams agreed to a trade on Thursday, according to ESPN and multiple reports. The Marlins reportedly will receive four prospects (Outfielder Brayan Hernandez, 19, and right-handed pitchers Brandon Miller, 22, Pablo Lopez, 21, and Lukas Schiraldi, 23) in exchange for Phelps.

Craig H Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Kato Kaelin has been losing his freaking mind over the Brewer's bullpen the last couple days. It's been a sight to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'm really liking the Mariners getting Phelps. Our bullpen has been ok recently but has been very up and down all year. Wouldn't mind seeing them trade for a good back end starter too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Yankees got for Phelps and Martin Prado were Nathan Eovaldi and Garrett Jones, neither of whom are even Yankees anymore. Eovaldi is now Tampa Bay's problem as he recovers from TJ surgery and Jones is playing in Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Yeah I got nothing for this one. I don't mind trading O'Neil (he was blocked in the OF anyway by Haniger, Gamel and Heredia) but I feel like there had to be something more out there besides a dude who's missed almost 2 years due to injuries.

RIPPA Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Chris Sale reached 200 Ks fastest than any pitcher in AL history last night He's not gonna challenge the K record though since the Red Sox are already trying to manage his innings better in the 2nd half of the season (considering he leads the league in IP and is averaging like 110 pitches a game - that is probably wise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grilledcheese Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Kershaw to the 10 day, will see a back specialist in the next day or so. It seems like it is less serious than the deal that cost him six weeks last year, Dave Roberts says: “There wasn’t any shooting pain down the leg or the sensations that he felt last year, so that’s encouraging.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Quote The Royals have announced an interesting trade with the Padres involving a whole host of pitchers, as Robert Murray of Fan Rag has first reported on Twitter. Kansas City will add starter Trevor Cahill, righty reliever Brandon Maurer, and southpaw Ryan Buchter. In exchange, the Pads will pick up southpaws Matt Strahm and Travis Wood along with infield prospect Esteury Ruiz. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/07/royals-to-acquire-cahill-maurer-buchter-from-padres-for-strahm-wood-ruiz.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 Quote The Twins have acquired lefty Jaime Garcia and catcher Anthony Recker from the Braves, per a club announcement. In return, Atlanta acquires young righty Huascar Ynoa. As part of the swap, the Braves will send $100K to cover a piece of Recker’s remaining salary, Jon Heyman of Fan Rag tweets. Minnesota is absorbing all of Garcia’s remaining salary, per MLB.com’s Mark Bowman (via Twitter); that represents just over $4.5MM of the original $12MM salary. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/07/twins-acquire-jaime-garcia-anthony-recker.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
