Off-Season (non-NYM) trades

Frayed Knot Nov 29 2014 06:24 AM

Billy Beane continues to swim against the current by dealing the thought-to-be untouchable Josh Donaldson to Toronto for a package of young players headed by Brett Lawrie. Donaldson, turning 29 next week and not a FA until 2019, is coming off back to back seasons where he was a top-10 MVP (4th & 8th). Infielder Lawrie goes to Oakland along with pitching prospects Sean Nolin & Kendall Graveman, plus 18 y/o infielder Franklin Barreto.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 29 2014 07:36 AM Re: Off-Season (non-NYM) trades

Wow. Donaldson is a killer and fwiw Brett Lawrie always struck me as an asshole. Inasmuch as this trade makes it even more difficult for the MFYS to compete in 2015 I applaud but think Beane is probably still a mad genius.

Frayed Knot Nov 29 2014 10:30 AM Re: Off-Season (non-NYM) trades

Yeah, Lawrie was a fairly highly touted prospect IIRC, but seemed more interested for a while there to have his tattoo count keep up with his ML HR totals.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Nov 29 2014 09:27 PM Re: Off-Season (non-NYM) trades

Well, Beane's certainly selling high, and he's sure-as-William-Tell buying low.

Frayed Knot Dec 11 2014 06:45 AM Re: Off-Season (non-NYM) trades Edited 2 time(s), most recently on Dec 11 2014 07:20 AM

Just so I have this all straight: - the Dodgers, in what looks to be an intent to get younger & cheaper, traded Dan Haren (who they just signed as a FA one year ago) & Dee Gordon away in a seven player to the Marlins for all young players, part of which will have to get re-worked if Haren follows through on his threat to retire if he's not pitching in either LA or Anaheim next year - they then reversed that trend by flipping the biggest piece from that haul, pitching prospect Andrew Haney (#9 overall pick 2012 draft), to Anaheim for 2B Howie Kendrick to replace Gordon - they then continued that youth movement by signing Jimmy Rollins - they then (reportedly) are replacing Haren by signing 31 y/o Brandon McCarthy [32-41, 3.81, 1.25 over the last four seasons] to a 4-yr deal at $12 mil per (Haren was slated to make $11) - and there are rumors that a Matt Kemp swap to SD is getting close, possibly for catcher Yasmani Grandal Amazing how much retooling is needed for a 94-win team with a 1/4 billion dollar payroll.

Frayed Knot Dec 11 2014 06:53 AM Re: Off-Season (non-NYM) trades

The one side note to all this is that McCarthy was inexplicably good for the Yanx following his mid-season trade from Arizona and was a factor in allowing them to hang in the pennant race far beyond all reason. 2014 w/ARZ: 18 starts; 3-10; 5.01 ERA; 1.38 WHiP 2014 w/NYY: 14 starts; 7-5; 2.89 ERA; 1.15 WHiP ... so this signing w/LA leaves one more hole in the MFY rotation.

Benjamin Grimm Dec 11 2014 07:00 AM Re: Off-Season (non-NYM) trades

SAN DIEGO —The Los Angeles Dodgers continued their makeover Thursday morning by agreeing on a deal that will send outfielder Matt Kemp to the San Diego Padres, a high-ranking official with direct knowledge of the deal told USA TODAY Sports.

Frayed Knot Dec 11 2014 07:17 AM Re: Off-Season (non-NYM) trades

Well that was quick (especially seeing as how it's only 6AM in Sandy Eggo). Reportedly a five player deal with the Padres getting Kemp and catcher Tim Federowicz -- in exchange for C Yasmani Grandal, P Joe Wieland and a minor League pitcher believed to be Zach Eflin.

I'd have been in on Kemp at that price. He was 100% by the end of last season. The Marlins are continuing in a predictable cycle of going all in for one year followed by a fire sale the following year and mediocrity for a few years after that. I'm guessing it won't work this time either.

Of course guys generally project with greater upside the farther away they are. Haven't hit the pitfalls yet. I'm not sure how to feel about it.

He’s going to stay in their system until June 14th, in fact, meaning that he’ll spend the first two months of the minor league season playing for a team that actually traded him before Christmas.

Edgy MD Dec 18 2014 01:24 PM Re: Off-Season (non-NYM) trades

The Matt Kemp deal has reportedly hit a snag, as the Padres' physical has supposedly revealed that he is suffering from arthritis in both hips. It's a big snag, as the Phillies are in the mix too, as the Dodgers already sent one of the players they got in the trade, Zach Eflin, on to Philadelphia, so you can't just undo it. This might go to the league, who I imagine would insist that Dodgers throw some hip insurance money at San Diego.

Frayed Knot Dec 18 2014 01:26 PM Re: Off-Season (non-NYM) trades

Showing evidence of arthritis in both hips has the Padres mulling over whether to nullify the Kemp deal. That, folks, is why you always hear the phrase: 'Pending results of a physical'

SAN DIEGO -- The hits keep on coming for the Padres -- or at least that's the hope -- as general manager A.J. Preller has apparently landed yet another big bat for the team's offense. The Padres traded for outfielder Justin Upton and a low-level player to be named from the Braves early Friday, dealing left-handed pitcher Max Fried, a former first-round Draft pick, in addition to infielders Jace Peterson, Dustin Peterson and outfielder Mallex Smith, a baseball source told MLB.com.

Two guys named Max and Mallex; and two guys named Peterson. Maybe if we threw in Rick Peterson we would have had a shot.

If I just heard that name without context I would have assumed he was one of the Superhero guys currently in the polling battle in the other forum. Padres certainly upgraded their OF in the last few weeks with Kemp, Myers, and now Upton They were pretty much a mess out there last season, using 15 different starters with only Seth Smith starting even half the games at any one position (81 starts exactly in LF) or getting more than 81 total starts out there (118 overall)
