ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Dbacks get P Justin Choate (undrafted, in A-Ball), and a PTBNL in exchange for David Holmberg and Heath Bell. Ouch, not liking that deal for AZ at all. I realize that they are shedding $5.5M of Heath Bell, but that hardly seems worth dumping Holmberg just to solve. EDIT: Strike that, they shed $5M, as they are paying $500K of Bell's salary. Edited December 3, 2013 by Chilihead90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 the Diamondbacks got rid of Heath Bell without having to eat any of his salary, which is a big win... similar to the Sox trading Mark Teahen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how much of a black hole a closer has been since Papa Grande fell apart in the playoffs/world series a few years ago, they probably view that as well worth it.

southsider2k5 Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Matt Eddy @MattEddyBA 17m #Athletics have shed four consecutive first-rounders since July: James Simmons ’07, Jemile Weeks ’08, Grant Green ’09 & Michael Choice ’10. So does that mean that prospects are now overvalued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Brett Anderson will be traded today. Probably either Blue Jays or Twins. Man, next weeks winter meetings may be as uneventful as last year after this crazy week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That deal's not a long one, so I think it's a very fair deal given how much closers get paid on the open market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that deal is less than $25 million, it just proves that the Sox are content with what they already have right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'm not going to get worked up about Hahn passing on him. I might have paid him that much, but he's a super-duper-high strikeout player that has had one good season in his career in a pretty decent lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have paid him that much, but he's a super-duper-high strikeout player that has had one good season in his career in a pretty decent lineup I really do agree. I thought he might have gotten a 4th year, but I guess he barely got a 3rd. I thought he might have gotten $10 mill too, but the $7-8 is still significant. I don't think the Sox liked the idea of Saltalamacchia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
