GGajewski18 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 02:02 PM) Sox fans should be happy with that haul for Cueto, as hopefully it raises the price tag for Samardzija. I completely agree. All 3 of those guys could be in the majors next year in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I love the nickname LaDunn. He is the exact same player, maybe even worse. Same selfish style for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 26, 2015 -> 02:01 PM) That is a great haul for Cincinnati. Wow. It's a great haul for Cincinnati but KC doesn't really lose anything. They think that Finnegan is a reliever long-term and they didn't have to deal Manaea, Zimmer, or Mondesi. Great trade for both teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Jon Morosi @jonmorosi 3m3 minutes ago Johnny Cueto is due a little more than $3.3 million in salary over remainder of this season. #Royals #Reds @FOXSports How much is Jeff owed the rest of the season? Jeff Passan @JeffPassan 2m2 minutes ago Reds did really well with getting three power arms in Brandon Finnegan, John Lamb and Cody Reed, but it's a deal the Royals needed to make. Is there a deal that the Jays really need to make? Have been desperate to get to the playoffs for a while now and have an elite offense. Do they overpay for Jeff?

Cueto's total salary this season is $10 million, Samardzija's is $9.8 million. As of right now, if Cueto has $3.3 million remaining, Samardzija has about $3.2 million.

greg775 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hmmm. Would they have taken Shark for Finnegan and Lamb, leaving out the third guy? Finnegan and Lamb both are ready to join the Sox rotation. Did we blow it in not making the deal?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-colum...le28783480.html Good, more in-depth story on the deal and its implications for the remainder of the season and playoffs. Of course mentions the caveat that acquiring Lester in Oakland and Price in Detroit didn't guarantee a thing for those teams. Don't discount the influence of countrymen Cueto and Volquez together with Ventura (and Duffy) as a much more formidable rotation for the playoffs that removes a lot of the pressure from Ventura to be the ace after his surprising performance in the postseason, named Opening Day starter to replace Shields, new contract extension, etc. “As I’ve said over and over, if you focus on what you’re losing or giving up or trading away, you’ll never make a deal,” Moore said. “And we felt Johnny Cueto was the very best pitcher for our team, the right acquisition and somebody we could put at the top of the rotation and move forward with. “If we’re getting the right player back, we’ve always tried to be very aggressive to win the negotiations.” False steps notwithstanding, that they did on Sunday. In one fell swoop, they could welcome Cueto to the team and, at least for a day, welcome back Ventura. And register a claim as the team to beat. Seeing the Cueto deal on the board as Ventura seemed himself, Yost said, was like “icing on the cake.” Read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-colum...l#storylink=cpy Edited July 27, 2015 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
