TitoMB345 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 09:34 PM) PTBNL can't be traded within the same league. For some reason I always thought they couldn't be on the major league roster, but I guess they technically can be. It turns out on time, a player was traded for himself (he ended up being the PTBNL). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Chiti#Career This has actually happened three times.

GreatScott82 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Reliever Brandon League is a popular man in these last hours before Tuesday's trade deadline, with the White Sox, Dodgers, Giants and "more than a handful of other clubs" contacting the Mariners about him, according to CBSSports.com sources. League has a track record of success and is headed for free agency this winter, making it likely that the Mariners will deal him by Tuesday's 4 p.m. EDT non-waivers deadline. Oakland's surprising Renaissance this season is making things even more bleak for the Mariners as their long and laborious rebuilding process continues. Suddenly, not only is the gap between Seattle and AL West Superpowers Texas and Los Angeles vast, but the Athletics this summer have pulled away from the Mariners as well. Seattle desperately needs hitters and likely would require young position player prospects in return. The Mariners have scored only 412 runs this season, 13th among the 14 American League teams. League, 0-5 with a 3.63 ERA in 46 appearances this season, has been a dependable workhorse. His 180 appearances since the start of the 2010 season rank tied for first among AL relievers. He ranked second among AL relievers last season in games finished (60) and third in saves (37). Since June 13, he's allowed only two earned runs over 16 1/3 innings pitched. The Rangers are among the other clubs believed to be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noonskadoodle Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Sox still going after League. Possible bullpen down the stretch Lefties Thornton Septimo Liriano (Possibly) Righties Reed Crain Myers League Jones That would be a pretty strong bullpen, although instead of League I would prefer another lefty.

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 How far the Dodgers have come.... to think they started the season with Mike MacDougal in League's now-spot in the bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
