2011 Trade Deadline Discussion

[Branch]

Oh. That was not very helpful.

MLBTR has a post saying the Sox traded for Erik Bedard.

I am displeased at this turn of events.

Fuck you, past Moss. Do your research.

Bedard has lower FIP and xFIP #s for his career you stupid asshole.

I am OK with this turn of events pending what we gave up and whether Bedard stays healthy.
--------------------
C prospect Tim Federowicz reported to be going to Seattle. He is not too impressive to me, there must be more to this trade.
--------------------

3:14pm: Details: the Red Sox get Bedard and outfield prospect Trayvon Robinson, the Dodgers get Tim Federowicz, Juan Rodriguez, and Steven Fife. Joshua Fields and Chih-Hsien Chiang went somewhere. We'll clear it up when possible.

Eh.. What?
--------------------
Robinson is having a great season in AAA this year... me likey
--------------------
MLBTR post has been updated to read "3:14pm: We know the Red Sox got Bedard. The rest is still being sorted out."

So what happened to the Harden deal? My friend texted me last night telling me about it, then I checked ESPN this afternoon and saw it had fallen through. Any chance it still happens?

He failed a physical. That killed the deal.

Robinson is going to Seattle.

[Branch]

Red Sox get: starter Erik Bedard, reliever Josh Fields (both from Mariners)
Mariners get: outfielder Trayvon Robinson (from Dodgers), outfielder Chih-Hsien Chiang (from Red Sox)
Dodgers get: catcher Tim Federowicz, reliever Juan Rodriguez, starter Stephen Fife (all from Red Sox)

Gave up depth in areas where the Sox are strong. I love this, as long as Bedard can stay healthy.

[Metes]

He won't

[Branch]

Then I hate it.

LeBatard said just now that the Blue Jays kept calling the Marlins on Hanley Ramirez constantly.

[emkayseven]

Would think we would have heard that somewhere else

[MiamiHomer]

Why's that? He said a bunch of teams kept calling on Hanley but that the Blue Jays were the team he heard the most about since they seem to not care about the "misfit" player ex. Escober and Rasmus.
