gose for wallace was bad.
Don't include travis, because that's not how trades work.
Snider for lincoln was meh.

The non-waiver deadline is over at 4 p.m.
However, teams continue to make trades. The players involved will have had to have cleared waivers to be moved.
The real trade deadline (although, not really) is the end of August. After that date any players acquired can't be part of the playoff roster.

Are you talking about the Happ for Saunders trade? That was an off-season deal no?

AA"s track record before the 2014-15 offseason was not good at all.
His last 12 months saved his ass.

Really?
He traded prospects for a starting pitcher who is now a star (took awhile, but it still happened).
And he traded a nothing outfielder for a nothing RP.
Those are your examples?
Because Snider and the guys they gave up for Happ were such huge losses....

Meh, maybe. If AA was still around without Shapiro as the President I could see AA willing to trade guys like SRF, Tellez, Alford, etc. to make a big splash.

The Happ trade sucked regardless of what he turned out to be.

But in those last 12 months he put it on a Tee for Shaprio. Anything short of a world series ring is a massive disappointment in my eyes.
EE, Saunders, Bautista all pending free agents.
When you have an opportunity to win, you ****ing go for it. They don't come along often.
It is so realistically unprobable to be in this position next season

Who did they give up, that was such a big loss?
Happ is now a star left handed pitcher and they used him to get Saunders and then signed him back as a FA a year later.
Seems like a trade that worked out very well.

No. When you are in a playoff position and have a real possibility to do some damage in the playoffs, you do it. It's not the NHL where half the teams make the playoffs. The window in baseball is narrow and missing it means that it could be years to be in the same position again. What's more is, you go for it BECAUSE those three might not be here next year. They are a big reason this team is where it is.

No one. I'm just saying it appears to be a Shaprio Atkins thing to sit on our prospects because of who we gave up last year and not because we have nothing. We have good prospects at lower levels and would take more of them to acquire "splash" talent. Shatkins doesn't want to deal them but I feel like AA would. Doesn't mean we don't have the assets to make bigger deals just that we don't want to trade the assets.
Sorry if that doesn't make much sense, I may have stepped outside for a deadline day puff.
At the time the JAys we're rebuilding. Trading prospects away for Happ didn't make sense. Musgrove is a very good prospect

I don't get this argument.
It's not a good trade, because Happ wasn't a big star at the time of the deal?
AA traded a package of prospects for a pitcher he liked.
That pitcher eventually developed into a pretty good major leaguer.
Isn't that exactly the definition of a good trade?
