2016 MLB thread. THE CUBS HAVE BROKEN THE CURSE! Chicago Cubs are your 2016 World Series champions

Austin Jackson must be happy as hell to get out of that 3rd world city

 

[proshares]

I'm not by a TV but it sounds like Dombrowski went into the dugout and pulled A-Jax out

 

[albooboo]

walker not part of deal

 

[phillyzphan]

There's gotta be a lot more to the Price trade. Now they're saying Taijuan Walker may be headed to Tampa also.

 

[cincoseisdos]

Time to trade for Kershaw.

lulzno

 

[Hahahaha]

Austin Jackson must be happy as hell to get out of that 3rd world city

Happy to leave a contending team, to go to a team that no one wants to go to?

 

[JCMojica24]

AL Playoffs are gonna be intense

 

[proshares]

There's gotta be more to the deal. TB loses big time if for a year and a half of Price they only get those two possibly average players. Compared to what the Cubs got for Shark, Friedman got fleeced.

Mariners aren't contending? You really believe someone would rather live in Detroit compared to Seattle

 

[proshares]

Zobrist is not dealt yet. Nothing confirmed.

Russell and Bonifacio got sent to the Braves apparently.

 

[a55a5in11]

Yup mariners only gave up Franklin

Wasn't/Isn't he their #1 prospect?

 

[proshares]

Heyman saying that Walker was NOT included.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

I would rather play for a World Series contender than play for the 3rd place in AL West and could make it as a 2nd wild card.

 

[phillyzphan]

Wasn't/Isn't he their #1 prospect?

Heyman just updated and said that Walker isn't included in the deal. But yeah he's there #1 prospect.

 

[651akathepaul]

Makes more sense now that Walker is involved.

Edit: Guess not...Robbery.

I've lived in Seattle for years, it's GORGEOUS. Most players don't want to go there. Detroit has been contending every year. Mariners aren't contending, they're dropping quickly.


Austin for Franklin is a good trade though.

 

[proshares]

Walker is not involved so it's:

Price to Detroit
Smyly/Franklin to TB
Jackson to Sea

As of right now.

Good deal for Det/Sea...not so much for TB.

 

[moe200069]

AJax..that dude just knows how to destroy the A's at the right times

 

[proshares]

As per Heyman, Yanks acquired Martin Prado.

 

[stillin729]

RAJ is the worst GM in the history of baseball

 

[jpzx]

Jack Curry @JackCurryYES 2m
Yankees have acquired Prado from Arizona.

Jack Curry @JackCurryYES 13s
Prado is hitting .270 with 5 HRs and 42 RBI. He played mostly 3B for DBacks, but he can play the OF and 2B.

 

[Hahahaha]

I feel like Detroit HAS to be sending a prospect or they just made one of the worst trades ever.

I like Prado but that contract is ugly.

What the hell did Texas want for Alex Rios????

Phillies didn't make a single trade. Whoa

 

[moe200069]

i guess i'm more content that Price didn't end up in the AL West with SEA...King Felix and Price?? dear lord..

 

[proshares]

Marlins getting Jarred Cosart.
