Its hard to defend anything Beane does after this

He realized he needed to rebuild his roster once more, but at least initially he didn't envision the move he made Friday night: letting Donaldson go to the Toronto Blue Jays for third baseman Brett Lawrie, right-hander Kendall Graveman, left-hander Sean Nolin and minor league shortstop Franklin Barreto.

Arizona gets old friend David Hernandez from Angels

Texas is pretty dumb for not trading Darvish for something.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

The A's have struggled under serious payroll constraints and have had their share of injuries but they haven't done a good job with drafting and development.  Gray has probably been the best in-house player the Oaklands have had in the post-Moneyball era.

Tim Hudson pretty good but for my money it's Cupcake Joe Blanton.

Texas is pretty dumb for not trading Darvish for something.

Rangers want to re-sign him and that team is on the rise, even though they took a step back this year. 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Dodgers get a pair of Tonys for their pen (Cingrani/Watson)

 

[TLEF316]

Yeah, id be annoyed if the Yanks gave up those 3 guys and they were healthy. But they're not. Good deal. Matteo has huge speed and seems to be having a good year (compared to the last 2) but he's blocked at both SS and the outfield

On the other hand, Beane traded Rich Harden (and Chad Gaudin) for Donaldson (and parts) right before Harden died.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Kintzler to Nats 

 

[Eephus]

Maybe we should just name relief pitchers who haven't been traded today.

Gene Garber

 

[HellToupee]

Darvish traded by Rosenthal

 

[HellToupee]

To the Dodgers

Great job by the Phillies trading Benoit at deadline. Not sure who they got, but reportedly he has a pulse.

He's a 5'9" DH

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Poor Jay Bruce

 

[Good Posting Judge]

The best part of O.coliseum or whatever it's called are the churros

That could've changed if you had fallen over the rail and died.

Willie Calhoun going from LA to Tex in the Darvish deal. All offense, no defense second baseman.

also pitcher A.J. Alexy; and infielder Brendon Davis.

Great job by the Phillies trading Benoit at deadline. Not sure who they got, but reportedly he has a pulse.

His name is Seth McGarry.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Yankees hit Mikey Mahtook twice tonight. Some beef from when he was in Tampa?  

 

[Limp Ditka]

Moncada just collided with some random Garcia and bashed his knee square into Garcia's skull.

Its not pretty

 

[Limp Ditka]

Moncada being helped onto the cart. No pressure on leg

 

[Limp Ditka]

I hate baseball

 

[Eephus]

Chicago White Sox‏Verified account @whitesox

Injury update: Yoán Moncada – Day-to-day with right knee contusion. X-rays were negative.

 

[Limp Ditka]

No real sign of awkward movement, when they made contact, but i'll breathe easier when I know there's no MRI on tap.

The best part of O.coliseum or whatever it's called are the churros

The only good thing about that stadium is knowing it'll be torn down soon. 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I wanted to listen to Dodgers/Giants last night but their broadcast teams are so bad, I listened to the Doyers radio feed. Corey Seager es muy spectacular! 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Darvish

 

 

[Good Posting Judge]

No real sign of awkward movement, when they made contact, but i'll breathe easier when I know there's no MRI on tap.

Hearing on Twitter that he's passed. RIP.

 

[MattFancy]

The Orioles are going to screw this up and not make any deals today

Boy, I nailed that one.

Good thing we got Tim Beckham. The Yankees and Red Sox both make moves to bolster their teams and we trade for Tim Beckham and Jeremy Hellickson. Duquette thinks the division is up for grabs. What is he drinking?

Scherzer hits 3 run bomb, then walks off the mound the next inning and says I can't go.

@masnKolko: Scherzer threw one pitch, bounced it wide, then walked off. Told Dusty "I can't go." Looked like he was pointing to his neck. And he's done.

Austin Jackson with an amazing catch, flipping into the bullpen at Fenway

Austin Jackson with an amazing catch, flipping into the bullpen at Fenway 

yeah that was pretty awesome

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Markakis 2,000 hits.  Seems ####### crazy.

Jack Glasscock has 2040, that should really be his career barometer.  

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Astros had 22k tonight, nice job guys. 

 

[gump]

Longo getting that call brought a tear to my eye.

2nd cycle in Rays history! 

 

[gump]

2nd cycle in Rays history! 

History! That was cool though...knew he needed a 2b, rips one not quite down the line, gives it all he's got from contact, OF fields it clean, Longo slides in by a half second, called out of course...then destiny.
