Would take some of the workload off Watson, and creates a nice trio of watson/soria/melancon
scissormetimbers
I can’t believe the jays didn’t get him included

Reports that he vetoed. He only had three teams on his no trade. Toronto was one of them.
Monkey’s Uncle
Oh, yes, yes, yes!
Brixton
What are the odds that Worley is in the deal? Hes not an AL pitcher.

under the 24 hour mark left of the deadline, time for more action. maybe elias diaz straight up?
Ken M.
I must say…. there is a lot less bad information floating around this year.

I’m going to guess either Tony Sanchez or Wily Garcia goes to the Tigers in this trade. I can’t see them trading Alen Hanson since he will replace Neil Walker at some point in the future.
Keon Broxton and maybe Adrian Sampson are other possible names that could go to the Tigers. They were scouting the Pirates AAA affiliate the past week or so.

Like this move for the Pirates. Soria and Blanton really strengthen that bullpen. Would still like to see the Pirates go after a starter as well before the deadline tomorrow. Cashner would make me happy.

I’m not sure Blanton is a positive. I mean it’s nice that they got him for free but they really needed another reliable bullpen arm since Arqimedes Camminero and Antonio Bastardo pretty much suck at this point.

This means “Star Lord Wilson” is going to have a shot at being the Tigers closer… if you are fantasy player, just pick him up.
Amazing “throw in” in that Porcello for Cespedes trade. Wilson is much more valuable than a draft pick.

I would bet that Rondon is given a test drive. If he fails, then they will look elsewhere. In spite of his awesome season, Ausmus just continues to use Wilson in 6th – 7th inning. Just hoping he doesn’t try Feliz in the closer role!
