Major League Baseball: 2012 Season

[CodeRedR51]

Diamondbacks may be making a huge move involving Upton. Won't be Garza. Can't see it being Shields or Josh Johnson. COULD see it involving Boston.

The update on this, according to mlbtraderumors.com:

12:46pm: The Diamondbacks are not currently discussing a deal with the Cubs involving Upton and Garza, reports MLB.com's Steve Gilbert. It was only Olney's speculation in the first place.

The update on this, according to mlbtraderumors.com:

I saw that, hence I said NOT GARZA .

 

[CodeRedR51]

Oh, well last I heard a deal involving Upton was "highly unlikely" according to Kevin Towers, so.....

Edit: Corbin scratched from his start in Triple-A.

 

[Blitz24]

Schierholtz and Seth Rosin in addition to Joseph going to Philly.

 

[Prosthetic]

Dawn or Dusk? I assume lighting.

Dusk I meant... Haha... I guess you could say my head is in the dawn.

I was worried for a moment because a there was an update saying that no Pence deal was finalized... But now that I hear he has past the physical it sounds like it is.

Also sounds like we are shipping Schierholtz and possibly a minor league pitcher. I wish the best for Schierholtz, a classy player and once power OF prospect ruined by the hand of Bochy. Consistent playing time is something he needs. You will find no better defensive player in RF. In simply has never made a mistake, its almost uncanny. Crazy powerful arm too.

Yep. 3 players for Pence.

Other news:
Dempster deal NOT official to LA. Falls through again.

Orioles and Phillies still discussing Blanton.

Denard Span may be moving while Cliff Lee likely won't be.

 

[Prosthetic]

Seth Rosin. Bullpen piece, he is a big guy with good stuff, 10.9k/9... That's almost Romo territory. Well at least good Romo when his slider isn't hanging. But he goes through these rough patches on occasions.


Good trade for both sides.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Craig Breslow to Boston for Matt Albers and Scott Podsednik?

Edit: Confirmed.

 

[Patrick]

Gaby Sanchez to Pirates. Pretty much a done dealio.

 

[Blitz24]

Mujica to St. Louis for Zach Cox. Heard that Broxton may be going to Cincy.

 

[CodeRedR51]

A local radio station was just talking to Kurt Gibson about the Breslow trade, and he said it's not final.

Edit: Dempster to the Rangers.

 

[Patrick]

Dempster to Texas.

 

[Ven0m]

Dempster to Texass.

Can't find for who.

 

[Patrick]

Casey Mcgehee to Yankees.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Can't find for who.

Two "Class A Players". No names yet.

 

[Ven0m]

Why am I getting reports of Lee to the Yankees?

 

[CodeRedR51]

I doubt it. I haven't seen squat about it.

 

[Patrick]

Christian Villanueva and Kyle Hendricks go to Chicago for Dempster.

 

[Blitz24]

Why am I getting reports of Lee to the Yankees?

I doubt it. I haven't seen squat about it.

Unless Lee is Casey McGehee he isn't going to NY .

 

[Patrick]

MLB Memes on Facebook joked that Lee was sent to New York. That's all I heard.

Yeah, he went to the Mets . For Jason Bay. .

 

[Patrick]

Neftali Feliz will need Tommy John surgery.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Think the Diamondbacks are done making deals.

 

[Blitz24]

Think the Diamondbacks are done making deals.

Well unless they plan to trade Upton via waivers.....

 

[CodeRedR51]

KT already said it's "highly unlikely" he's going anywhere, so I don't think you'll see anything unless it's for a REALLY good player.

 

[Patrick]

I've heard Upton for Garza.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Who knows. I just hope they don't try to acquire another outfielder to replace him. Parra deserves to be on the field every day.

 

[Blitz24]

I've heard Upton for Garza.

I still wouldn't make that trade if I were Arizona. I would prefer getting a decent pitcher AND good prospects for Upton, not a pitcher who's what? 30?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Pirates pitcher AJ Burnett is currently just over 7 innings into a no hitter.

Edit: With 2 outs in the 7th and on a 3-2 count, the Cubs finally got a hit.

Bummer.

 

[Max Powers]

Pirates pitcher AJ Burnett is currently just over 7 innings into a no hitter.

I was typing up my reply saying 4 outs left, and the pinch hitter just broke it up

still, it was a heck of a time watching this one out at the bar.

The last time I have seen a pirates team this good, I was 6 years old (that means it was 20 years ago, when barry bonds was still skinny)

sidenote...I love travis snider so far.
