I want to be mad about the Cubs fans saying Con"fart"o, but god dammit, it is brilliant.
Think it has cooled down today. Last I saw was they didnt think a deal was going to get done but that was this morning. Also, dont know if that meant a deal getting done today or at all.ATLANTA — The Phillies lost, 2-1, to the Atlanta Braves on Friday night.
The big news from this game, however, was that Vince Velasquez might have made his last start with the Phillies. A major league source told CSNPhilly.com that the Phillies and Texas Rangers are “pretty deep” in trade discussions involving Velasquez. The Rangers, the source said, also have some interest in Jeremy Hellickson, who pitches for the Phillies on Saturday night, but he appears to be a secondary target (see story).
It would take top talent to get Velasquez, a 24-year-old right-hander with a power arm. The Phillies acquired him over the winter from Houston as the centerpiece in the deal that sent Ken Giles to the Astros.
The Rangers had several scouts at the game, including Scott Littlefield, one of their top talent evaluators.
The Rangers’ interest in Velasquez was reported earlier in the week by Jon Morosi of MLB Network.
Who knows this time of year I guess.Think it has cooled down today. Last I saw was they didnt think a deal was going to get done but that was this morning. Also, dont know if that meant a deal getting done today or at all.
Ron Washington is probably available.I think Collins run should be over...not his fault, but teams need changes and the Mets need one. His handing of Familia bugs me.
Holla holla holla!Ron Washington is probably available.
Interesting. I was reading he wouldn't do that so he could play for a winner. Maybe he's trying to force their hand to NYM.Hold on, Cleveland. Lucroy exercised his no trade clause and vetoed the trade.
woooo! great move by both teamsCarlos Beltran to Rangers for Dillon Tate and another.
