Sources: #Angels likely to keep Kendrick. Can’t find the right match for a starting pitcher. Could revisit in off-season.

Deal official: Kennedy from #DBacks to #Padres for Thatcher, Stiles and compensation-round pick.

Could have matched/topped that. Crap.

It's not worth mortgaging the future for a PO run for a team that is on the fringe of being in the hunt. A month from now could be a different story, which could lead to Santana being dealt if they fall out of the hunt or see them acquire a rental if they are a game or 2 back from a WC or the division.

The trading deadline is in 90 minutes. We can't deal Santana later unless he clears waivers, and there's no way that happens.

I wonder if DM was even sniffing it.

Balls.

SO excited for a little over .500, no playoffs, and a comp pick heading into 2014!

Frankly I feel like us winning 9 of 11 to start the second half completely sent GMDM into a tailspin. We play well and show signs of life at a time he totally didn't expect it, and he is caught with his pants down in regards to improving the team THIS season to make a run. Maybe (hopefully) I'm completely wrong and we'll make a move soon, but it just doesn't have the "feel" of us getting anything done.

Yeah, but that's how it's felt across the board today ... it's weird. So far today's highlight is a guy with a 5+ ERA getting traded to a 50-58 team.

We're in no-man's land. Close enough so that for business reasons we can't sell because the fans would freak, but we're not close enough to do anything too crazy for 2013 because statistically we're just not there, barring a lot of luck.

Typical Royals: Even when things are going unusually good, they're also going bad.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 10:21 PM.
