Trade Deadline Roundup: AL East

By charliewilmoth | July 31, 2015 at 6:23pm CDT

Here’s a roundup of activity from around the AL East, covering the last few days before this afternoon’s trade deadline.

  • The win-now Blue Jays made by far the biggest splash in the division, making not one but two blockbuster deals. They acquired star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and reliever LaTroy Hawkins from the Rockies for shortstop Jose Reyes and prospects Jeff Hoffman, Miguel Castro and Jesus Tinoco, then swung a deal with Detroit for ace David Price, giving up top prospect Daniel Norris and two other lefties, Jairo Labourt and Matt Boyd. They got outfielder Ben Revere from the Phillies for pitchers Jimmy Cordero and Alberto Tirado, and righty reliever Mark Lowe from the Mariners for pitcher Rob Rasmussen and minor leaguers Jake Brentz and Nick Wells. Finally, they traded lefty Felix Doubront to the Athletics for cash.
  • The Orioles acquired improved their outfield, getting Gerardo Parra as a rental from the Brewers for pitching prospect Zach Davies. They also got outfielder Junior Lake from the Cubs for reliever Tommy Hunter. They also designated Chris Parmelee and Bud Norris for assignment.
  • The first-place Yankees were connected to top relievers like Craig Kimbrel of the Padres, but weren’t able to swing a trade for bullpen help. Instead, they bolstered their outfield depth by acquiring Dustin Ackley from the Mariners for outfielder Ramon Flores and pitcher Jose Ramirez. They also designated Chris Capuano and Garrett Jones for assignment, later outrighting Capuano. They also announced that they would promote top pitching prospect Luis Severino.
  • The Red Sox showed at least some interest in big-name arms like Carlos Carrasco and Tyson Ross, but ultimately didn’t have a very eventful deadline. They traded Shane Victorino to the Angels for infielder Josh Rutledge, and they acquired reliever Ryan Cook from the Athletics, They also designated Daniel Nava and Jemile Weeks for assignment and claimed reliever Jean Machi from the Giants.
  • The 51-52 Rays made moves to deal a couple of veterans, although they don’t look massively different than they did last week. They traded reliever Kevin Jepsen to the Twins for pitchers Chih-Wei Hu and Alexis Tapia, and also dealt outfielder David DeJesus to the Angels for pitcher Eduar Lopez. They also lost catcher Bobby Wilson via a waiver claim by the Rangers.

    Man, the Blue Jays are all in. Hoffman, Norris and nine other prospects gone.

    If they don’t make the playoffs, AA is gone the day after the season ends. If they don’t win it all, AA is gone the day after they’re eliminated.

    And in the thick off all of this, the Phillies added 7 players to their top 30, and now have 6 prospects in the top 100 (MLB.com)

    Great coverage MLB TR there was a lot of information to digest and then turn around and get out.
    One thing though, what happened with Travis Snider. I swore I read that he was DFA’d and then Steve M from MASN told me he is still with us.

      Us? He is still with the Orioles.. It was misreported that Snider was DFA’d.. It was actually Parmelee that got the boot.. I am betting that the Orioles are wishing they still had Tarpley in their system though..

        True about Tarpely and it might be true about Josh Hader.
        I see he got flipped to the Brewers and a lot of people thought he shouldn’t have been thrown in with the Norris deal and now Norris is gone.
        Anyway, thank you for responding to me. Much appreciated.

    Cpl ‘pen arms for Boston. Cook could be one to help out and the farm system is still intact. Cueto won’t cost anybody a draft pick now, which will be to everyone’s benefit after the year, likewise Price. Many interesting developments last few days.

      Do you think Cueto will be able to handle a big contract and moving to a major market? I have read several posts from Cincy fans that say he is a head case that can’t handle pressure.. I will admit that I am not all that familiar with his career but he is lined up for a $150m+ contract and if he really is a head case that could be a big blunder for someone.. But then again a few years back they were saying Greinke was a serious headcase and that he would surely crack under the pressure of playing in New York.. He seems to be thriving in LA and has done well in high pressure games..

        Or Cueto could turn into an AJ Burnett. I don’t think many knew he was a head case before coming to the Bronx.
