I have no knowledge here but I'm wondering if there isn't something off the field in play here.

 

We have a lot of access to numbers but very little on them as people.

If Dickerson wasn’t limited to LF, he would be a good pickup.

Yah there has to be a reason he was DFA’d. Tampa isn’t stupid.

Yeesh. If this is a reflection of Dickerson's value, no wonder we can't get anything decent for Santana.

 

I think the odds of Dickerson clearing waivers are virtually zero. This is just weird. Even if the corner outfield market is minimal, I can't imagine why they'd cut a guy like him. Isn't he one of the best hitters on their team? Is he a dreadful defender or something...like braun at 3b with one hand tied behind his back bad?

There HAS to be something up besides just clearing payroll.

 

BUt, if they are doing it because of that, it would be a good sign that Archer is out the door rather soon as well.

Such a perplexing DFA move with Dickerson. I am assuming there is more to the story since as a standalone baseball move it doesn’t seem to make any sense whatsoever.
Not just “at Night” anymore.

I would assume they already have a trade lined up. The DFA is just to clear 40-man room for Cron without getting rid of somebody else. Strange order of operations though, announcing this move first and by itself.

 

The have 10 days to finalize whatever they have cooking with Dickerson.

They've been pretty stupid since Friedman left.

Twins and Rays have a trade in place.

I assume this is from Jeff Passan on Twitter. His next tweet states that the Twins have interest in Odorizzi. This could mean one fewer option for the Brewers. It will be interesting what the Twins are giving up. They don't have much in the minors, except the shortstop Gordon. Gordon and Max Kepler for Odorizzi and Dickerson, perhaps?

It’s a done deal... Palacios(SS) is apart of the package heading back to Tampa.

Twins also made an offer for Archer a week ago. Could be an option too

Odorizzi going to Minnesota.

 

Good, didn't want him anywhere near Miller Park.

 

Me either. I don’t see why anyone would actually want him.

This is per Jeff Passan. Palacios is barely a top 20 prospect in a weak system. There have to be other significant pieces involved.

Were they able to land Max Kepler though? If not it still suggests the Rays are expecting to add an OF...

Wow, Bob Nightengale says that's the whole return.

 

I don't like Odorizzi at all, but I would have certainly taken him for basically nothing, if only to bump Miley and Gallardo.

Palacios was the only piece Minnesota sent. Are you telling me we couldn't send anything better than #24 in the Twins system? If this is all it takes to get Odorizzi then I dont think Archer's price is as high as people are saying it is.

This would have been a great addition for us at a bargain bin price.

 

Tampa is having a full fire sale. I hope Stearns is working tonight because teams are going to get some great deals.
