I move a very good pitcher with this scoring format for a couple of young guys.  Pie probably won't see much action until August, but with the way the OF is playing in Baltimore, he should still see some time.

Feliz is a wild card.  While a highly touted prospect, if he stays a reliever, his value greatly decreases, and with a very deep rotation, it might stay that way for awhile.  It's a gamble, as I was planning on resigning Pinero, so I hope the Rangers decide on starting him eventually.

This trade fills my strategy of looking toward the future, while Dan gets his need of attempting for a ring this year.

Thanks Dan-o, I'm saving my mom joke when you least expect it.

I think the only way I get a ring this year is if I reanimate Ted Williams

[Mr.TradeKing]

This is a good trade for both teams. Jake gets a good return on Joel although it is a risky one.

APPROVED

Approved.  Fits the needs of both teams.

I believe Pie still belongs to the Yankees until that trade is completed.

I believe Pie still belongs to the Yankees until that trade is completed.

I just accepted the deal, so as long as it is approved then both will go through.

   Nationals get more rebuilding pieces and Reds get another SP for this season.

Nats will release CI Roberts, Ryan, $0.5m (2010) to make room on the roster.

  Dan is on a trade frenzy.  I like the return the lowly Nationals receive here.  Feliz alone will make this trade worthwhile.
