Article: Official Trade Deadline Day Thread

[gunnarthor]

Blue Jays moved on, it would seem.

[Bob Sacamento]

 

Hrmm.....Toronto trades for Scott Feldman from the Stros instead.  Thinking that probably kills Santana to the Jays.

That's what happens when you hold out too long...

[KirbyHawk75]

Scott Feldman to Toronto ends any chances of Santana to Toronto.  

[SwainZag]

 

That's what happens when you hold out too long...

 

Or when the other team doesn't give up what you want.  I'd rather see Santana as a Twin at the end of the day rather than a sub-par package for him.

[bluechipper]

Scott Feldman has started only 5 of the 26 games he has appeared in this year.

[KirbyHawk75]

I have said this before, if we do not get get a lot for Santana, it makes zero since to trade him.  He is our only MLB pitcher right now.

[bluechipper]

Hector Santiago rumors? What?

[KirbyHawk75]

Reports say Hector Santiago to Twins.  Not sure what for?

[whydidnt]

It will be interesting to see what they gave up for Feldman. I like Santana more than Feldman, but Feldman is a FA at the end of the year, so the financial commitment is a lot less.

But then again who cares how he's pitching on a sub .500 team.

[gocgo]

Feldman to the Blue Jays...so much for Santana.

[amjgt]

 

I agree, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Twins are thinking of exercising their option on Suzuki for 2017 if they don't get something decent this year. For whatever reason, it seems the current staff is higher on him than most of us. 

 

I'm not so sure 2017 is the Twins option. I know that has been talked about on here, but I've seen absolutely no evidence of it anywhere else. 

[bluechipper]

Looks like Lucroy to the Rangers is going to happen. Gallo is a nice return if it goes through.

[SwainZag]

 

But then again who cares how he's pitching on a sub .500 team.

 

If he was a free agent at the end of the season I would agree with you.  But he's not.....which means he has value BEYOND this year for the Twins.

Could you post the source?

 

I don't get why the Twins would want Santiago right now...

We are talking about the same Ervin Santana here right? The 33yo career average starting pitcher who's due 27M/2YR?  Twins fans are talking like this guy is a Cy Young candidate

Please let it be for Milone or Nolasco + whatever else. 

[KirbyHawk75]

LOL..I saw a few Angels fans are hoping we traded Kepler for Hector Santiago.

[nicksaviking]

The whole team needs to be placed on waivers at 3:01, hoping that some of these guys don't get claimed simply because the active teams are still trying to figure out their 25 and 40-mans.

[Loosey]

Nolasco + Meyer.  How in the world????

[KirbyHawk75]

Nolasco and Meyer to Anaheim for Santiago.

[DaveW]

WOW SANTIAGO FOR NOLASCO AND MEYER!

[Intramural Legend]

Wow - Meyer to get rid of Nolasco?  Holy cow!

[Comrade Bork]

Kfan said Nolasco and Meyer

[SirLoin]

 

 
Please let it be for Milone or Nolasco + whatever else. 

Rosenthal is reporting it's Nolasco and Meyer

[nicksaviking]

Rosenthal tweets it's Nolasco and Meyer.

 

So basically we gave up Meyer to dump Nolasco? Not sure I'm upset about that.

 

And Santiago could be a gem of a trade piece next year.

[Badsmerf]

What! I mean, yes! The baseball gods love Mark Antony.

[Vanimal46]

Thank the lord. NO MORE NOLASCO!!!!!

[wsnydes]

 

 
Please let it be for Milone or Nolasco + whatever else. 

How bout Alex Meyer and Nolasco?
