Last resort since they can't trust their staff in the playoffs. Go 5-6 innings then turn it over to Betances, Miller and Kimbrel.

You think Kimmy would be the closer when Miller has been lights out in that role all year? I mean it makes sense because then you have the lefty for matchups and Kimmy is a proven closer but that would be tough to yank him from that role with 0 blown saves and really never even getting into trouble

big fan of Gomez he seems slightly insane.

guy just plays with passion.

 

fuck the old white guys with their dumb baseball shit - it's like golf.

 

gomez shows emotion and excitement on the field and it rubs some of the morons the wrong way.

 

no one who has ever played with carlos has a bad thing to say about the guy. 

 

i would have loved for the sox to get him.

Girardi would prob go with the matchups of he had Kimbrel too. I personally wouldn't take Miller out of the role. Hated that the Nats did to Storen too.

Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that Alex Wood and Jim Johnson could be on their way to the Dodgers as part of a three team deal with the Marlins.

The Braves would be receiving at least Michael Morse and a compensation pick from the Marlins in the deal that would send Mat Latos to the Dodgers. This one appears to be gaining traction and a deal could be finalized before the night is through.

Dodgers Nearing Deal To Acquire Mat Latos From Marlins, Alex Wood, Jim Johnson, & Jose Peraza From Braves

 

7:59pm: Hector Olivera may also be involved in the deal, MLB.com’s Mark Bowman tweets.

 

7:53pm: The deal is nearing completion, Morosi tweets. Top prospect Jose Peraza could also be involved, MLB.com’s Mark Bowman tweets, and Sherman says that he will in fact be in the swap (via Twitter).

 

Wood could end up being flipped as part of a deal for David Price or Cole Hamels, Sherman and Rosenthal both suggest.

 

7:46pm: Alex Wood is the Braves pitcher who would go to the Dodgers, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports tweets. Reliever Jim Johnson is also part of the deal, Jim Bowden of ESPN.com tweets.

 

7:45pm: The Braves have emerged as another party in what will apparently be a three-team trade upon completion, reports Rosenthal (via Twitter). If the deal gets done, “significant” additional pieces will be involved and a young starter will go from the Braves right into the Dodgers rotation, Sherman reports (Twitter links). A reliever of some kind also factors into things, Jim Bowden of ESPN.com tweets.

According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, the Dodgers, Yankees, Giants and Blue Jays are the four main teams vying to acquire David Price from the Tigers.

All four teams have been in contact with the Tigers. In a move that came as a surprise to virtually no one, Dave Dombrowski announced Wednesday that the Tigers would listen to offers on their impending free agents, which immediately added another elite hurler to the trade market. With four big market clubs in the bidding, expect the Tigers to net a decent haul for the All-Star left-hander.
