The Dodgers will announce on Wednesday the acquisition of infielder Hanley Ramirez and left-handed reliever Randy Choate from the Miami Marlins for starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi and Minor League pitcher Scott McGough, according to a baseball source. Wow.

Frayed Knot Jul 25 2012 06:14 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

While many media types in the pre-season were touting the Marlins based on their new park-induced spending spree, I remained on the wary side of the fence being skeptical of the team trying to spend their way not merely to get from good to over-the-top but in an attempt to leap directly from the bottom up to contending status. It rarely works and I didn't think it would this time either. So while I'm not going to claim that I saw this specific action coming, I'm not all that surprised except maybe at the speed in which it happened. You rarely see a team change course so quickly, going from big FA spending spurts to fire sale status in barely half a year.

metirish Jul 25 2012 06:25 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

And for whatever reason fans are not showing up to a brand new stadium. Did they get good pieces for Ramirez? I guess I am wondering if they shopped around and if they could have gotten more, hefty salary though.

seawolf17 Jul 25 2012 06:41 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

Eovaldi's not a bad pitcher, but he's not an ace either. I'm intrigued by what the Astros are doing; they're dumping everyone and just stockpiling young players. Carlos Lee, Wandy, Lyon, Happ, Myers all gone, and about a dozen new minor leaguers in.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2012 06:47 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

Just amazin' to commit overwhelmingly to Reyes and not Hanley. The Flushing grass musta looked mighty green from Florida. Or they have strong suspicions that Hanley will never be the MVP candidate (indeed, winner) they once had. Choate, though... who can really commit to Choate? He's the sort of guy that when a GM says, "The deal still feels a little light from your end --- can you throw in Choate?" and the other GM goes, "Oh, do we still have that guy?" He just floats out there, grows a goofy beard thing, and still nobody really thinks, "Oh, that guy is ours." He's like the Aaron Sele of LOOGys.

I know Boston was at least kicking the tires - which would be interesting because that's where he originally came from. Those rumors involved a whole expansive thing that, if true, made it a whole lot less likely to happen. Stuff like Bell & Hanley going in exchange for Crawford and someone else.

If Boston could have pulled that kind of deal off it would have been a stunner. Loria better not say this wasn't a salary dump.....LA Times The Dodgers will be paying all of what remains on Ramirez's contract. Ramirez, 28, is still owed about $6 million of his $15-million salary this year. He will earn $15.5 million next year and $16 million in 2014, the final year of his contract.

seawolf17 Jul 25 2012 07:21 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

I have a baseball game on my phone, and Choate is the one pitcher in the whole game I can't hit. He's (as far as I know) the only sidewinding lefty in the game, and his pitches just move so much that I can't get a handle on them. So I picture him to be vastly more unhittable than he really is.

metirish Jul 25 2012 07:23 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

That settles it, if Seawolf , one of phone games great hitters can't hit Choate then he must be brilliant.

smg58 Jul 25 2012 09:02 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

I had a feeling, given the way that they offered more money instead of no-trade clauses to their incoming free agents, that the Marlins would start dealing if they weren't contending. There are seven or eight obvious reasons why they haven't been a big draw, the first six or seven of which have to do with the economy, but Marlins fans (such as they are) had every right to be skeptical of Loria's intentions. As for Hanley, it's not a secret he's been underachieving lately, and there are defensible baseball reasons for deciding he's not worth his contract and passing him off to anybody who'd pay him in full. On the other hand, a mediocre Hanley still upgrades the Dodgers' infield. And it's not unreasonable to hope he's a change of scenery away from returning to form.

Ashie62 Jul 25 2012 09:39 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

It would be funny if they dumped Reyes...

Nymr83 Jul 25 2012 09:42 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

I saw a stat that, at -12 runs below average, Hanley is the 2nd worst defensive "contributor" in the league this year. His bat may no longer be justifying his glove and the fish may be happy just to get rid of the contract

Edgy MD Jul 25 2012 09:46 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

Sure, it's just funny how quickly policy changes. Is he giving you value on the dollar? Well, as much as Reyes, more or less, and a whole lot more than Heath Bell.

Frayed Knot Jul 26 2012 05:21 PM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

Braves have "moved on" from Ryan Dempster according to GM Wren - which may be a good thing for Atlanta seeing as how Dempster has recently broken his run of great games to the tune of 2 losses and 7 earned over 12 innings in 2 games. Brewers say they "will move" Grienke sometime before Tuesday's deadline.

Nymr83 Jul 26 2012 06:44 PM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

For the sake of my NL-only fantasy team, I hope Grienke is dealt to Atlanta or LA (also, robbing the Braves of a prospect for a 2 month rental in a year where the Mets aren't contending might be a decent thing.)

Frayed Knot Jul 28 2012 06:36 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

Well, as the old saying goes; 'Fuck your fantasy team' Milwaukee traded Zack Greinke to Los Angeles Angels for shortstop prospect Jean Segura and a pair of AA right-handers: Johnny Hellweg and Ariel Pena. Doesn't sound like a blow-away deal but the SS Segura is considered a good prospect, is also just about ready (was actually promoted to the majors earlier this week), and young (22)/good shortstops are tough to find. Between that and two high-minors arms it sounds like the Brewers did OK for themselves here in exchange for a two-month rental. And the extra draft [u:3pv39w2e]pick[/u:3pv39w2e] (no longer pick[u:3pv39w2e]s[/u:3pv39w2e]) that the Brews could have netted had they hung onto him for the rest of the season would likely have been a much longer shot than anything they got in the trade.

bmfc1 Jul 28 2012 08:13 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

Good deal for the Nationals--they were supposed to face Greinke tomorrow.

Nymr83 Jul 28 2012 08:38 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

That was probably as good as the brewers were going to get for a 2 month rental pitcher, so good job by them

Ashie62 Jul 28 2012 11:07 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

Zack Greinke in California. That could be interesting.

Frayed Knot Jul 28 2012 09:33 PM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

Rox deal (one-time NYM) Marco Scutaro to SF for an infield prospect.

Vic Sage Jul 30 2012 08:33 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

i know Scutaro didn't do much in NY, but i liked him at the time and was a little sorry to seem him go. He was one of those scrappy AAAA-type players who hung around long enough to get a shot in the majors, and then the more he played, the better he got. He was like a SuperJoe McEwing (also on the team at the time), but a better hitter. And when compared to Rey Ordonez and Robbie Alomar, i was excited for ANYBODY who would reduce their playing time. He peaked later with Toronto and Boston, and while he didn't really have the range for SS and didn't hit well enough for 2B, he did a bit of everything and seemed like a guy who helped a team, at least a little. A .270/10hr middle infielder who puts the bat on the ball, catches what he gets to, and plays with some spark, is surely worth something to a winning team. So, good luck to Scooter in SF.

MFS62 Jul 30 2012 08:41 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

I feel the same about Marco. And Jeff Keppinger, too. I wish them well wherever they go (except against the Mets, of course). Later

Vic Sage Jul 30 2012 09:12 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

here's why i don't have the same affection for Keppinger, though i totally understand why you or others might: * he was drafted in middle rounds out of a good college program (unlike Scutaro, who was an undrafted FA); * he came to the Mets with Kris Benson in a trade that cost us Jose Bautista, Ty Wiggenton and Matt Peterson (unlike Scutaro, who we signed for nothing off the scrap heap); * he came up to the majors at age 24, with his prime years ahead of him (not 27, like Scooter); * we later traded him for Ruben Gotay, turning that trade thread into a nightmare (Bautista > Keppinger > Gotay) * i don't think he ultimately got all he could out of his talents (Scutaro's major league numbers much more closely his minor league numbers; Keppinger was better in the minors) so Keppy leaves me cold.

Rumor had it the Mets were talking to the Cubs about him, prior to the July freefall.

Frayed Knot Jul 31 2012 08:42 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

-- The Braves acquired right-handed-hitting outfielder Reed Johnson and left-hander Paul Maholm from the Cubs in exchange for two Minor League pitchers, one of them heralded pitching prospect Arodys Vizcaino. I guess this was plan B after Dempster turned them down, but it sounds like they paid a heavy price. Meanwhile, last one out of the Cubs clubhouse needs to remember to turn off the lights. -- Dodgers trade two minor leaguers to Seattle in exchange for reliever Brandon League Also are said to be "working toward" a deal to get Shane Victorino -- Pirates picked up one-time uber-prospect Travis Snider from Toronto for reliever Brad Lincoln Snider, an OFer, was the 14th overall pick in 2008 who got to the big leagues by age 20 with plenty of fanfare but has never really panned out.

Swan Swan H Jul 31 2012 11:08 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

The Phillies have backed up the truck, thrown in the towel and given up the ghost, not necessarily in that order. Victorino to the Dodgers, Pence to the Giants. The Victorino deal is official and the Pence deal is not yet, but he's a goner, reports say.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 31 2012 11:10 AM Re: Trade Deadline Non-NYM Edition

And Cliff Lee may also be on his way out. Pence is signed through 2013, so he's a better get. Victorino is a free agent this fall. Might he be a Met? I have no idea how much money he'll be looking to get.
