With the Toronto transactions, they will look absolutely foolish if they can’t pull ahead in the wildcard or divisional standings.

Thanks for stating the obvious regarding the Dodgers. Good job.

Time will tell of what the Dodgers were thinking.
BlueSkyLA
We don’t need time. We already know what they were thinking.

Note in all these trades,hardly any big name top prospects were traded.
Brixton
I don’t know what classifies as a big name prospect. Multiple top 100 prospects moved in many deals.
3 in the Hamels
1 in Zobrist
1 in Cueto
1 in Price
1 in Cespedes
1 in Alex Wood
1 in Tulo
2 in Gomez
Brixton
1 guy who should be in the top 100 next year in the brandon moss deal

Olivera, Finnegan and Norris are pretty big names. Maybe Alfaro too
citizen
Finnegan is a big name but none of mlb trade rumors big names, like servino, judge, saeger, Baez.

If only Amaro was traded to Texas, the Phillies might actually do well next year.
Brixton
Amaro has hit in the 1st and 2nd round in the 2013 and 2014 drafts to this point, made 5 really good rebuilding trades over the last couple months and hasn’t given out a bad contract in almost 4 years. Amaro really isn’t as bad as everyone thinks.
Matt St.
Except that he can’t stop himself from saying stupid things to the media.
mikejju
Exactly!
Vandals Took The Handles
Saying stupid things to the media does not make one a bad GM.
I’ve been following quite a few GM’s and team presidents that are wonderful to the media – quotable, co-operative, feed them inside information – and while they get good pub and their teams are written up well, those teams seem to underperform a lot.
All the complaining on here about Amaro “waiting too long” regarding Hamels that seems to go on multiple times a day for over a year now, seems to have been wrong. Amaro did as well with Hamels as possible.

Toronto is the 4th largest city in NA. Hardly mid market. Owned by a billion dollar corporation.

Sterotypes are hard to break.

philly-rangers deal was a classic win-win

Jays are owned by Rogers, maybe the wealthiest of all the team owners. Money is not an issue.
As for the Dodgers, they did well. They, like so many others, are looking into this off season which will provide gigantic pay days for some.
whitesquirrel
Except Rogers has often MADE it an issue. Ever heard of being cheap?
Lance
Interesting that Rosenthal describes Houston as a “mid-market” team when they are a top ten TV market.
sturt
EXACTLY, Lance. By any measure, HOU is among the largest markets in baseball. Yet the owner has gotten away for all these years with the illusion that it’s payroll was commensurate with the market.
