really not sure why the barves just traded olivera for matt kemp?
― if young slothrop don't trust ya i'm gon' rhyme ya (slothroprhymes), Sunday, 31 July 2016 02:11 (seven years ago) link
just a trade of bad contracts, only one of which is attached to an abuser
― mookieproof, Sunday, 31 July 2016 02:28 (seven years ago) link
ah I forgot about olivera's DV-charge jacket, fuck 'im then
all things being equal the monetary burden on the barves isn't even that much given how thoroughly they've gutted the roster

Indians going for it: Lucroy and Miller

Lucroy has to waive his no trade and still no word if he's gonna yet.
Clippard to the Yanks.

@HaudricourtJonathan Lucroy has exercised his no-trade clause and vetoed trade from #Brewers to Indians. Details to come.
― Andy K, Sunday, 31 July 2016 14:59 (seven years ago) link
@BNightengaleJonathan Lucroy had every right to reject trade knowing that he's severely underpaid at $4.35M this year, $5.25M in 2017
― Andy K, Sunday, 31 July 2016 15:05 (seven years ago) link
@Buster_ESPNSources: Effort to convince Lucroy to change his mind and accept CLE trade will continue.
― Andy K, Sunday, 31 July 2016 15:17 (seven years ago) link
@JeffPassanSources: Jonathan Lucroy wanted Indians to rip up 2017 club option to get him to waive no-trade clause. Understandably, Cleveland said no.

cash undeniably making good moves - moves that nearly any GM ever would've made, but when you're overseen by steinbrenners one has to grade on a slight curve i s'pose

I got to wonder how much the Dodgers really want Puig. You would have to think the Marlins would be a likely location for him to land, if the Fish would want the salary (and or potential headache). They could use the bat.
I'd think the club that could be sharky and get Puig might be the Yanks as his outstanding salary is pretty affordable considering the upside.

Heyman says the Dodgers just aren't interested in trading him: http://www.todaysknuckleball.com/nl/los-angeles-dodgers/heyman-dodgers-not-desperate-trade-puig/ Still not sure why they're leaving him in the minors for the rest of the season though
― Immediate Follower (NA), Thursday, 25 August 2016 15:34 (seven years ago) link
Puig is clubbing at AAA. Only thing I can figure is he must be too much to handle and are trying to get him to chill out. Considering the lunacy some clubs will put up with at the big leagues, that has to say something.
