    Horrible thought as there are people saying the Giants could get involved to help a team trying to block the Dodgers.
    Price, Morejon to Giants
    Betts to Padres
    Myers, B Crawford, Petino and $15M over 3 yrs from Pads to Red Sox.

    Red Sox reporter saying that the Sox seem determined to get a deal done with the Dodgers, though the chances of it actually happening have dropped a bit. There is apparently a scenario where the Sox have floated the Dodgers taking on more money and offering a lesser second prospect.

    Padres trade Manuel Margot for Emilio Pagan and prospect Logan Driscoll. This is fucking annoying as Pagan is one of the better relievers in baseball.

    The not annoying part is that Margot was a part of trade talks for Betts and this may be a sign that the Padres do not expect the Sox to re-engage.

    I don't think the sample size of elite is large enough to say that about him just yet. A lot of relievers have been known to have a really good year then flame out the next

    Meh, I don’t mind that. Gets Petino off the Padres, and Verdugo stays on the Dodgers.

    One final update from two late night reports:
    • The Red Sox are once again said to be prioritizing a deal with the Dodgers.
    • In the event that a deal falls, the Padres are seen as the favorites.
    • Multiple other teams have also been said to have jumped in since the news that things were getting rocky. Some have said they’d be willing to take on both Betts and Price. This shows that teams don’t care if the Sox fuck over the Dodgers.
    • The Sox have supposedly floated a package of the Dodgers taking on more money in the deal or some more money as well as a lesser prospect (guessing this brings the Twins back into the deal).
    • A deal by the end of Sunday is seemingly less likely now as things are still said to be progressing slowly.
    • The Twins/Dodgers and Red Sox had a 3 team conference call into late this afternoon that is believed to have not gone anywhere.
    • Multiple teams have reached out to replace the Twins in a deal.

    they made a deal and then backed up
    reminds me of making agreements to trade baseball cards and the douche down the block starts asking for more
    or doing business w pakistanis and persians
    no such thing as keeping to your word
    fuck the sox

    Agreed! I would love nothing more than for our FO to say fuck this BS. We work at a higher standard. This is Ameture hour and we want none of this bullshit. I dare you cunts to trade your fucks to our division rivals cuz at the end of the day... it doesnt fuckin matter. We’ll win anyway.

    Cheating fucking cunts!

    Maybe neither team wants to deal with Verdugo and the sexual assault issue. Had not been front and center but is becoming! Was 2015 when he was in the minors and he watched without intervening. The role of Gabe Kapler could have been better. With all of the other negative news and others now wanting to talk about this, do they need it?

    Heyman reporting that progress is being made in talks of a restructured deal involving the original 3 teams. Sides remain hopeful that a deal will be completed.

    i keep reading how the sox are justified in wanting more and why should they accept damaged goods...
    except they were working on the framework for well over a month, probably closer to two
    and then after the deal got finished they couldn't handle the inevitable blowback
    so this was just a convenient wedge in the process designed to make it stop
    Verdugo and Maeda were plenty for a year of Betts and that Price contract

    For Boston it was Verdugo and the kid from the Twins and Dodgers it was Betts and Price. For the Twins it was Maeda for their kid.
    Boston is balking on what they agreed to and this is all on them. They probably want one of our untouchables and to be able to declare a win in the trade.

    Sounds like 2 separate deals with Dodgers getting Graterol.

    If Graterol can chuck 100+, might be a replacement for Jansen. MGT have up on the last 100+ pitcher, Montas, and he had a pretty good season last year.

    Yeah... until that whole PED thing. Still would do that trade 100 times out of 100. I said this earlier, Graterol has a higher ceiling than anyone in our system outside of May. So if we could find a way to get him in this, I’d be thrilled. Our bullpen could be legit.
