Is that true? Can they do that? I don't know the rules as well as some of you so please don't laugh at me if I ask, I truly thought Marlins got screwed.

lol, I actually have no idea either.  it's happened before when a guy fails a physical, but I can't recall it happening after he's already played for the new team.

It really felt like Miami got jobbed, this guy just nonchalantly calls the trainers out and then he's on the DL. I've never seen this where a guy walks onto the team and starts and pulls up in the 3rd/4th inning fresh off a trade. If in the process of motion he had snapped something, then OK ont he Marlins but it felt like he knew it was an issue prior to arriving and then i read where San Diego was worried he was pitching too many innings...how does Sampson miss this stuff?

I'm right there with you. Friends cannot understand why I go and support this and run down to the stadium but I'm a sucker for good baseball. I wish a blimp would drop on this guy when the roof is open but unfortunately like the Dolphins we have another crummy owner but this one actually knows he is hamstringing his audience the whole way. I'm not sure Dumbo is actually trying to job the fans in the Phins case. 

It's horrible but what can you do? "Don't support it"

I understand...

 
Luis Castillo is headed back to the Marlins, according to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal.

And the Marlins will return injured starter Colin Rea to San Diego. It's a very odd and rare turn of events, but Miami's front office was apparently livid when Rea exited his first appearance in a Marlins uniform with an elbow injury. Castillo, 23, owns a 2.25 ERA and 84/15 K/BB ratio in 100 innings of High-A ball this year.

 
Rea sent back!

Marlins' Luis Castillo: Traded back to Marlins
by RotoWire Staff | Special to CBSSports.com
Castillo has been traded back to the Marlins with Colin Rea heading back to San Diego, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports.

Rea will head back to San Diego as he left the game in his first start for the Marlins with an elbow injury. The Marlins were unhappy with the Padres, so it looks like they compromised by sending both players back to their respective teams. Castillo will head back to High-A Jupiter.

Loria with his hand at his head delighted many haters but it was clear that something was wrong with Rea before he arrived...I think SD took him back just to keep their good name. You don't want to lose other team's faith even if you never do business with Loria again...

Castillo coming back, he's 23 years old and has a pretty nice ERA, this year especially he has been dialed in. He is not going to be able to give you more than 5-6 inning most games tops but is it time for Miami to do the unthinkable and just bring this guy up for the rest of the year?

He's not 19 years old, I don't think they will damage him. Turn him loose and see what he does as the No 5 starter until Chen is back off the DL...your thoughts?

7-3/2.25 ERA currently

2015: 6-6/3.20

 
The Giants acquired left-handed reliever Will Smith from the Brewers, tweets Yahoo’s Jeff Passan.  The Brewers will receive minor league pitcher Phil Bickford and catcher Andrew Susac, tweets Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports.

I realize I'm saying this as a Mets fan so feel free to disregard...but a 22 year old struggling in A ball and a team cutting bait so quickly screams "move him before his value implodes".

There is likely more of a chance he never makes the majors than does. But they gave up someone who will be a FA at the end of the year so its a no lose situation and I love the potential upside.

 
Posted on Twitter earlier:

2019 Yankees?
Sanchez 2
Bird 3
Mateo 4
Machado 5
Torres 6
Ellsbury 7
Frazier 8
Harper 9
Judge DH

SP: Fernandez, Tanaka, Sheff, Kap, Tate

 
I take back what I said if Herrera ends up in the deal to replace whichever low level guy had some bad medical history. They've had him penciled in as the starting 2B in 2017 for a couple years now, and he was why they didn't want to go beyond the one year qualifier for Murphy. Adding him to the deal at the last minute was pure panic by Alderson, IMO.

 
Niese back to the Mets for Bastardo.

I'm back to being cool with the Bruce deal as it's only Herrera, and he's not joined by Nimmo. Not that I think much of Nimmo as a player, but it would have been a horrible use of assets to move both of those guys together.

What's amazing to me is that all the local NY guys, and hell the national guys as well, got beat to the punch on these finalized moves by the guy who heads up the NYC part of Barstool Sports.

Passan's always been underrated as a troll. One of the greats.

At the risk of sounding like a real d-bag Yankee fan, what part of this looks like trolling? Harper, Machado, and Fernandez are going to be 3 meal-ticket free agents who are smack in the middle of their prime when they hit free agency. If the Yanks were willing to toss crazy money around for Tex, CC, and Burnett a few years after ARod's extension and with lots of other big money tied up on the books, why wouldn't they do the same for guys who will actually earn their contracts? By the 2018 offseason, the only real money on the Yankee payroll will be Ellsbury. I don't think getting those three is out of the realm of possibility for them, as ludicrous as it sounds to say out loud.

No problem GB, I know you all see the world a little different.  Here's how it looks to the outside world.

Let's start with the fact that Tex, CC and Burnett's contracts combined are less than what it will take just for Harper.

Then lets move on to the fact that thanks to the RSN deals and the MLBAM money and attendance and various other factors, everyone has money to burn.  This isn't the 1990s or early 2000s when the Yankees and Red Sox could double everyone else's opening day salaries. For example, Harper's current team is owned by a family that is far richer than the Steinbrenners and who has already shown no hesitation to spend big (Scherzer deal and Strasburg extension, to name two recent $200 million-ish deals) and whose team will be clearing several large deals off the books (Werth, Gio Gonzalez, Murphy) before Harper's free agency.

Fernandez is in a similar position.  Might the Yanks sign him away from Florida and all the other suitors?  Sure, it's possible. Is Jeffrey Loria, who just gave Giancarlo Stanton $325 million and whose team plays in Miami, gonna let a Cuban superstar go without a fight?  I don't think so.

Manny Machado might be the easiest of the three to acquire, but he's already a folk hero in Baltimore and Angelos is still dealing with the fallout of letting Mussina go to the Yanks (yup, still).

I'd give them a decent chance of signing each of these guys, maybe an uneducated guess of 30%.  But all three?  30% x 3 = 2.7%.  And that assumes the rest of the roster stays intact between now and then.

I'd be a little concerned why Nimmo failed the physicals, but Ya the trade is a nice value for the Mets. Not surprised though. Reds are pretty bad at this. 

 
Jim Bowden and Keith Law disagree, but I think the A's made the  best trade of the day. I like the Rangers move as well, pretty :yawn:  otherwise
