Brewers in on Gagne? - Final: to Boston

According to the foxsports article, "The Rangers would receive left-hander Kason Gabbard and an additional player or players in the deal, sources say."

 

If that is all that they needed, I would have much rather traded the Inman package to the Texas for Gagne rather than for Linebrink.

---

 

The big differences I see are:

 

- Gabbard is left-handed and has already made several nice starts at the major-league level

 

- Linebrink will bring the Brewers two high draft picks next year, while Gagne most likely will not bring the Red Sox any. DM made it clear that getting the draft picks was a key to the Linebrink trade.

"When has Francisco Cordero...Turnbow...Wise...or Villanueva?"

 

You just made my point Stevo. Have you watched that group recently? Their collars are about 3 sizes smaller than they were in June.

 

The attraction of Gagne is that he's pitched in big situations and that is what the Brewer pen lacks.

[Oldcity]

Fair enough, but it's sure hard to say the reason Turnbow, Cordero, et al are struggling is because they haven't pitched in a pennant race...

[prince of roy]

There is nothing on the Red Sox website about acquiring Gagne. They do have the cards getting Pineiro. So I dont give up hope on the dream bullpen.

What they lack is people who are able to throw off a mound not in Milwaukee.

Maybe the Red Sox are going to do a 3 team deal with us and the Dodgers? ...Just putting options up.

[Nader Raider Tim]

I keep hoping that deal falls through with very little time before the deadline, making the Rangers try and furiously find a replacement team for Gagne.

Well ESPN seems to be acting like its official.

[bklynbrewcrew]

Gagne for Gwynn and Turnbow would have been an awesome trade but Im glad the Brewers arent getting Gagne if the price was Parra, Villanueva, or Weeks.

[BrewCrewForever]

Come on DM! Pull it out you still have time.

[prince of roy]

rotoworld is saying its Gabbard, Murphy, and 17 year old Beltre, For Gagne. How would the rangers not take Vargas, Gwynn, and a package of Bratwurst instead.

That's also what happens with ESPN and their East Coast/Boston bias.

 

If this does happen, I'm a little disappointed. The pen is run down (thanks, Vargas/Suppan/Capuano for not being able to get out of the 5th!) and could have used the help.

[BrewCrewForever]

It would have been so nice to get Gagne.

[prince of roy]

Getting Linebrink is just not enough. I wanted bullpen help and moving mench or vargas. So many teams wanted ready starting pitching. Why was it hard to move a guy who is 9-2. I just wish i had dougs phone I would get things done.

Duh... it is the Red Sox and ESPN.

[bklynbrewcrew]

The Brewers really cant afford to trade vargas at this time, not with Sheets on the DL and Suppan sucking it up.

[BrewCrewForever]

Seeing Gagne don the #38 uni in Brewers colors would have been so nice.

 

I doubt were going to make any move now. 30 minutes.

[prince of roy]

If you dont think Vargas was moveable because of injuries your an idiot. Parra could start because when sheets comes back parra is going down unless the baseball gods blowout spurlings arm in a bullpen session.

[aracko]

When did the espn crowd come over here. Is this kind of crap really welcome here?

I'm pretty sure that type of response is not allowed.

 

In response to your "point", Vargas has been fairly consistent this year, even though he hasn't gone deep into games. The Brewers have a good record in games he pitches. He also must be doing something right to garner a 9-2 record. He's been one of the few constants this year, in that you know what you're going to get when he goes on the mound.

If you're going to calll someone an idiot, don't use the wrong word in front of idiot.

I have to think Brian will consider that strike 1.

[GormanHarvey]

Good call JoeHova!

No offense, but people said Wayne Franklin was also a "winner" because he won more games one year than Sheets.

 

Vargas is what he is. A serviceable starter capable of keeping the bottom of the rotation together until Yo/Villy can be inserted full-time (next season). Which also makes CV the older expendable after this year... and depending on what the remaining SP options are for this year, he could be expendable, well, now.

Sorry to all the sensitive ladies we have here in the chat room. I should have used you are uneducated in your information. Your brain is unable to handle the ability to be smart. Wow and the grammer checks as well, if I wanted to deal with that crap I would go back to school. If you are not giving any real info to the conversation like the Red Sox Gagne deal is done the only thing left is Gagne has to waive his no trade clause, then turn off your computer.
