To some degree, but but don't you think most exec view the same guys, though the order might change, as the top 75 or so. It's not like we're just talking 10. Do we really think a bunch of teams have a guy at 25 and he doesn't appear on the baseball ameica or pipeline top 100?

There's is near 0 reason to bring him up before September. Carpenter and Greene need ABs. There is no reason to risk loss of draft pick or starting his clock for two extra weeks .

You take a 96 mph cutter on the hands and hit it to second

So you have a 'very hard time' believing that an east coast team wasn't offering something. But at the same time can't believe that maybe Erod was OK with everything until 4 pm yesterday. As I said, its just painting Harris as a baffoon when we really we don't know enough to make all your assumptions.

Welcome to sports journalism today. Where you can be wrong and there is no consequence. It's all about the latest rumor and just running with it without any vetting or consequence all in the quest for Twitter followers (hell its not even clicks anymore)

A) no it doesn't B) did anyone think he had east coast teams on his no-trade too? C) maybe the east coast teams offered piddily So many fans are making so many assumptions that paint Harris as nothing more than a complete baffoon.

Let's be fair, you were just gonna complain no matter what happened.

How in the hell would gm in name only made a difference?

Flaherty to baltimore

and he could tack on 2 years and 60 million to his deal right now and have that security instead of risk FA. Plenty of reasons to want an extension today instead of taking a risk of Free agency even though its just months away, like you suggested.

he could also blow out his arm in two months.

maybe he did. You don't know that he waited till it was all complete reviewed meds then went to E-Rod. Also what do you expected Harris to do beforehand? He knows E-Rod has him on the no trade. He might have given him a heads up, but when they finally reached a deal went to E-Rod to see and he said no.

Wouldn't you want to make sure you get a trade you wanted before going to a player and being like what to do you think? Why go to him before you have a deal you like? You already know what teams are on his no-trade.

Jeff Passan @JeffPassan · 59s The Los Angeles Dodgers and Detroit Tigers had a trade in place for left-handed starter Eduardo Rodriguez, but Rodriguez invoked his 10-team no-trade clause that included the Dodgers and the deal is now dead, sources tell ESPN.

Don't worry Cruizer, you weren't the only one...

Hey maybe Mize was the right choice Jon Morosi @jonmorosi · 2m Joey Bart has been mentioned in the Giants trade talks. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 Draft could be moved in the next 2 hours. @MLBNetwork @MLBPipeline

Jon Morosi @jonmorosi · 49s Eduardo Rodríguez and Jack Flaherty have strong markets, with a little more than 2 hours left to the deadline. Dodgers, Braves, Reds, Orioles, Marlins, DBacks all looking at rotation upgrades.

Eduardo, Dodgers you're up next

hey Im trying to get work done here too and hand't refreshed. So we'll call it a tie.

its the legit one. I don't follow the fake one

@Tiger337 Lee is a heck of a prospect to return. Great contact and walk, few Ks. He is clearly a No. 2 hitter in the future that will be like Altuve lite and will no doubt be a solid bigger leaguer. (just thought I'd be the first 😉)

Jon Morosi @jonmorosi · 21s Tigers are close to trading Michael Lorenzen to the Phillies. Infield prospect Hao-Yu Lee is part of the proposed return heading to Detroit.

Astros No 1. and No. 4 prospects heading to New York. I feel Lorenzen is worth about the same....
