Jason Grilli will head to the Angels while Ernesto Frieri is sent to the Pirates.

 

[Plympton91]

Wow. That's very short term thinking by the Angels. I know Frieri has been inconsistent, but I have a strong feeling that trade isn't going to look good for the Halo's long term.

Absolutely agree. Grilli is old (and currently ineffective) and it takes guys like Frieri some time to harness their stuff. They are going to regret this one.

He also says Addison Russell name has been in talks... If he is included I bet CHC is sending a prospect or two the other way

I'm am now hearing that #Athletics are indeed talking to #Cubs about Hammel or Samardzjia, confirmed independently of Fox Sports' report.

Though most doubt a mega-deal likely, am told Cardinals have had internal talks about a very big fish. High-end prospects in play.
 
I say its Price

I think Stanton. Molina is gone for a while and Holliday and Craig have combined for less homers than Jhonny Peralta.

Taylor Lindsey, R.J. Alvarez, Jose Rondon and an unknown player for Street and Trevor Gott seems to be the final tally.

They want the inside scoop on Lester before trading for him.

RT @JeffPassan Sources: Dodgers floating Carl Crawford to teams. Still owed $69.25M thru 2017.
 
Good luck with that...

The Phillies really don't want to trade him, considering he is signed through 2018. They aren't making him readily available. And considering they are flush with money and have a new TV deal, his $22.5 million salary is no problem.Yet, according to one-ranking official directly involved with the talks, the Los Angeles Dodgers recently asked for Hamels. They were told the price would be three of their top prospects - center fielder Joc Pederson, shortstop Corey Seager and left-handed pitcher Julio Urias.
Sorry, the Dodgers said, but no interest.
The Phillies haven't dropped their price tag, and are insisting on three top prospects and a mid-tier prospect in any deal for Hamels. Yet, since no one else has come forward, they could lower the asking price if Hamels is packaged with bad, bloated contracts like ones belonging to Howard and Papelbon, clearing more than $150 million off the books

dude on MLB network just said Price WILL be traded today

 

[21st Century Sox]

MLB Network (Joel Sherman) reporting that David Price will be moved by 4pm today. Wow.

 

[Rasputin]

Joel Sherman, who is dressed in a very dapper shirt and tie combo, says Price is definitely going to be traded (on MLB Network.)

 

[Rasputin]

You both suck. No commentary on that shirt?

Well, like most people, I usually mute the tv when he's on, I guess he found a way to still grab our attention.

 

[MakMan44]

Dodgers and Tigers are popping up in the Price talks. 
 
Pirates and M's too.

I figured by saying "dude", you would have just assumed that means he entered his closet this morning looking for the most amazing outfit possible for the big day.

I'm dying to find out where just where we'll all be able to turn for a game kept pure by David Price.

Unnamed source says Price refuses to get out of bed and is "crying uncontrollably" and eating pints of "Chunky Monkey". Price : "Why don't they want me anymore?" 

 

[ScubaSteveAvery]

Joel Sherman, who is dressed in a very dapper shirt and tie combo, says Price is definitely going to be traded (on MLB Network.)

 
Joel Sherman used to be laughably bad at breaking news like this.  Price still may be moved, but Sherman has never been good at this stuff. 

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Vasgersian mocking Chris Russo to his face just now was pretty funny.

 

[hbk72777]

I'm trying to watch the MLB Network trade coverage, but they keep giving Russo so much face time.The guy is embarrassing himself today. Both crews have really called him out for it.

It's amazing how many people think that deleting tweets or closing accounts makes everything go away

 

[E5 Yaz]

Unless the Pirates are all in on Price, I'm just confused as heck as to why they haven't made a move

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

I guess all the recent reports of Toronto having no money to spend are true (so far).

MLBN reporting the Price deal that's close is a three team trade.

 

[ehaz]

Rumored to be DET, SEA and TB... wonder what's headed where.

 

[MakMan44]

Someone in the Sox deadline thread mentioned it might be the Tigers, M's and Rays. 
 
Weird combination.

 

[MakMan44]

Rosenthal says the Pirates and Marlins still working on deals. 

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Did Harold Reynolds really just suggest that Price would make it through waivers and that the teams might have another month to work out the details?
