Feel like it's almost that time of year when the braves sign Julio Franco for the remainder of the season. And then it'll be the time of year that I always wonder how the hell is he still more reliable than 80% of the players in the league.

Well...coming off the high of sweeping the Nats last weekend, I'd have signed up for a 4-2 Mets road trip and that's what they got.

But knowing it should have been a 6-0 one (blew 3-run leads yesterday and today) makes it pretty frustrating.

Padres get swept by the Phillies. They've been creamed by last place teams back to back series. To think ownership vetoed every potential trade Preller supposedly had ready to go at the deadline is infuriating. What they were thinking by stopping their gm from many any moves at the deadline is a fucking mystery.

Kinda glad it's all blowing up in their faces. Should teach ownership to just write the checks and let the people they hired do their job.

Ownership was the reason all those bad trades were made in the first place. Their plan of action was to acquire name value and payroll.

If they think he sucks then fire him but reality is the current state of the team is on ownership for mandating such awful moves in the first place in a attempt to quick fix a team into contention.

I see. Cubs has an issue with that in the past. Crane Kenny told Jim Hendry to spend as fast as possible which is why they bid against themselves for Alfonso Soriano. It's frustrating when non-baseball people stick their nose in baseball decisions because they think having an MBA means they can do anything.

Yep. As all Yankee fans feared, we got swept by the Blue Jays. A blind man saw this coming miles away. What was once a nice and comfortable 6 game lead, turned into 1.5.

If this isn't a reality check for Cashman and Girardi, I don't know what is. But I guarantee ya WFAN and ESPN radio are gonna be pretty busy fielding calls from Yankees fans saying that doing NOTHING at the trade deadline was the wrong move all day tomorrow.

I thought people stopped posting in this thread for some reason. Also, mostly house shopping. I had mostly just gotten tired of the talk around it and am somewhat glad Tulo is somewhere I like and somewhere that he can maybe win more games.

Think Tulo was a bit of a health risk and that perhaps the Rockies wouldn't deal in division.

James Shields has cleared waivers. Fans from New Yawk are clamoring on Facebook to acquire him. If they can get Kimbrel through waivers, Padres may have a chance to pillage the Yankees farm system by sending a package of Shields and Kimbrel over. Cashman had previously pushed a trade of shortstop prospect Jorge Mateo for Kimbrel and taking on Jedd Gyorko's contract. Shields, being an actual need, may improve that return.

Wish the Cardinals would show any signs of slowing down so that the NL Central race would be closer with the Pirates and Cubs.

The Cardinals are the best ran organization in the game. Despite the constant success they draft well, develop well, make good trades and signings. It disgusts me because their market and financial situation is no different than the Padres', yet the Padres have never had their version of the cardinals way, other than "let's change direction every five years".

Waiver trade question: why would the yanks want to strike a deal with the Padres now, after the first trade deadline? What prevented them from trying before? Is it having extra leverage in being the only team that could aquire Shields/Kimbrell assuming they are awarded the claims on one or both?

I'm also fairly sure no one really knew Tulo was available for any sort of trade with how secretive the Rockies were about it.

My only logical guess would be desperation. They legit tried to acquire Kimbrel before the deadline but Padres ownership nixed that and any other deal, sources say.

I do think there's leverage for the Yankees in terms of what the could return. There's not a ton of teams who are willing to be on the hook for just under $40 million over three years for a guy who throws 60-70 innings a year. The Padres are in a bind trying to figure Kimbrel out in a trade.

With Shields, the pitching market for free agency being so deep hampers what the Padres get in trade. Teams can go buy James Shields or his aggregate in free agency without giving up prospects.

I'm just being a blind hopeless optimist in trying to find the light at the end of the tunnel for this team. They're in a bad situation that's gonna get worse once the offseason hits, brought upon themselves by ego and ignorance. It's ok to admit you got it wrong, Padres ownership.

Cashman and Preller were in the same boat at the deadline. Both did nothing because both believed that their teams were good to go all the way.

There's really nothing the Yankees can do now. Unless Sabathia agrees/voluntarily goes to the bullpen, can't go after a starting pitcher. Can always use bullpen help, but who's out there now? Only thing we can use is probably a 2B. But, who's out there who can hit a lick and play solid defense? Bulldozier is the golden boy but Minnesota ain't gonna get rid of their centerpiece of their restoration.

Brewers GM Doug Melvin is stepping aside to take an advisory role within the organization. Melvin's decision apparently, not the team's. Search for a new GM is underway.

Dave Dombrowski's phone is probably ringing right now.

I have a friend who is inexplicably a huge Brewers fan but also kinda follows the Tigers because she's from Windsor. I think if DD went to the Brewers she'd lose her shit
