DeRosa Traded to Indians

[sleepyhead]

Talking now. For pitching prospects Jeff Stevens, Chris Archer and John Gobbs.

[Butcher]

Indiants?

This has to be part of a Peavy trade, right? Otherwise, it makes very little sense.

[rok]

Peavy had better be next, or else.

[Andy]

This almost HAS to be a precursor to getting Peavy. Doesn't it?? I can't imagine any other reason to get rid of DeRosa

Fixed. I was typing fast.

I agree, Peavy has to be next.

Jinx.

[Andy]

But I always thought DeRosa was supposed to be "part" of the Peavy trade. As in, we'd trade him to a 3rd team as part of the deal. Unless we intend to use these prospects as part of the Peavy deal??

I'd say it's either for Peavy or to use to trade for a RFer. I'd lean Peavy though with Bradley a supposed done deal.

[Captain]

Peavy is a pipedream.
This was another payroll cut.

The Padres wanted pitching prospects in the Peavy deal. We didn't really have much in that department. Now we do.

That would be my guess. I'm pretty sure it was said that the Padres wanted more pitching prospects and the Cubs didn't have many. I think the fact that we got all pitching prospects for DeRo certainly falls in line with that.

We're totally getting Roberts now too. Where's BART?

If we don't land both Bradley and Peavy now, or at least if that isn't Hendry's intention, then these deals make very little baseball sense.
