Yet another snooze fest. Fans are going to boo the shit out of both these guys the entire match. Literally nobody wants to see this for the fifth time.
My new and improved thoughts over the next 11 days on the deadline.
James Shields to the A's for RHP Xavier Altamirano
Jose Abreu to the Astros for 1B Yordan Alvarez, RHP Jairo Solis, and SS Jonathan Arauz
Joakim Soria and Luis Avilan to the Braves for LHP Kyle Muller and LHP Joey Wentz
Xavier Cedeno to the Red Sox for RHP Roniel Raudes
Thoughts?
Yeah, I've seen that. Pipeline won't update their org. ranking until late July/August I believe so idk there. But everywhere else has Fried ahead of Allard and that's crazy to me. Allard is 20 in AAA and doing good.
Agree here. Soria will definitely land an organizational's top 10 prospect imo and a flier. If they do package him with Shields, I can see an org. top 10 and 2 fliers.
I do think we can definitely do better than a Forbes like return for Soria. Remember, we got Forbes for 2 months of fricken Miguel Gonzalez.
I would compare a Forbes like deal to someone like Shields.
I'm not sure, you could be right. Looking at that deal though, Fried is the only real prospect and he's a 24 year old LH starter. Jackson has massive power, but no hit tool and Ruiz is eh.
What's even better about the unrealistic trade proposal is that it came from the Braves beat writer lol. Braves have so much pitching depth that this wouldn't even hurt them.
Heyman has tweeted that the O's are expected to get 5 players. Wonder if the O's are giving up more players, if not, who the hell are the Dodgers giving up?
Even if they don't put it on last, the crowd is gonna go nuts negatively. You know a beachball is gonna come out, you know they are gonna boo, you know they are gonna chant this is boring. I don't see how Vince sees this as a positive, yet keeps doing it.
The offer I've seen from the Phillies is Maikel Franco, JP Crawford, and Adonis Medina.
Guessing here, but I bet the Dodgers offer is Diaz, May, and another guy
You're not wrong though. 8 in 30 minutes? That's awful booking. I would of loved to see just one fall and have be within the last minute. Would of made both look great, but they went with 8 falls which was terrible like the show.
To be fair, it was a new match.
All in all, that show sucked. I liked two matches and that was the B team/HardyWyatt and Lashley/Reigns. The Rollins Dolph match was terrible. Two great wrestlers and that's what you come up with? Embarrassing.
