With just over a week before the trade deadline, the Rays have made a big move in acquiring slugger Nelson Cruz from the Twins. As officially announced by the Twins, Cruz and minor league righty Calvin Faucher will head to Tampa, while Minnesota will pick up right-handers Joe Ryan and Drew Strotman. ESPN.com’s Jeff Passan (Twitter link) was the first to report that the Rays were acquiring Cruz, while Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times (Twitter links) was the first to report that it was a four-player deal also involving Stotman.

That would be a mistake for Seattle. They are not making the playoffs this year.

They could sneak in with the East beating each others brains in. 1-1/2 back right now.

Plus Merrifield is under contract through 2023 at a reasonable price, and can play 2B/RF(/LF)

This dipshit Hoyer still sits idly by, he's clueless without Epstein.

I think Kimbrel will be the only player moved, with maybe Davies and Tepera as well. Ricketts will insist on keeping as many fannies in the seats as possible for the rest of the year, and there doesn't appear to be enough value in the others to make a trade worthwhile.

The teams still in the playoff race face two challenges beyond finances and all that shit:

1. The 2nd wild card means that if you don't win your division, you could be renting guys for a one game playoff. That's deflating prices.
2. There is no more August 31 waiver trade deadline. In the past, a rental like Rizzo could easily be acquired as late as August 31 if they had a big enough contract to clear waivers. That's inflating prices.

To think his name was being floated as a possible Cubs target a few weeks ago.

If he does go to the Padres and they are a wild card, who do you starts that game: Scherzer, Darvish, or Snell?

Can't believe the M's make that trade...they are one game back in the wild card. And to the Astros, of ALL teams?

Yeah it's nuts to me.

But then they also say they're not done adding pieces so who knows what's going on.

very dumb move.

I like Seattle. Buncha blue collar players who somehow mesh well and win games.

Hard to believe fuckin Joe Smith is still around. Why would the M's want him?

Seattle isn't worried about catching Houston. They want to catch Oakland.

And how does trading away their best reliever get them to Oakland?

It's not official it's a white flag. They picked up a starter from the Pirates who's been pretty damn good lately.

Which makes the Houston deal even more confusing. Are they in or are they out? It does not even seem like they know

I think they're in. Still got 2-1/2 days. But In my view, the WC game isn't the playoffs. It's a play-in game for the playoffs. You don't let a play-in game dictate what a trade should be. If you feel you're stealing lunch money dealing your best reliever, you do it, despite a play-in game.
