WOW!

[NJ Ave]

Wow that feels like we gave up very little.

[DPMOmaha]

None of the big four got moved. Allows for them to make an even bigger move if they want.

Yep.

   This really does feel like Rizzo just picked someone's pocket. but then again, according to Slate, those two will come here and fall off the cliff because of the pitching coach and Treinen is going to go over there and become elite.

[NJ Ave]

And both guys signed for very little through next season as well? God damn Rizzo did it again!

[NJ Ave]

And I think it's time for Billy Beane to be put out to the pasture of EPL manager simulation games.

[Smithian]

Have to start somewhere with the bullpen disaster. Good place.

Blake Treinen should take a step forward with a change of scenery.

[GuyFromCO]

Huge win for Rizzo.

[Smithian]

Neuse is a solid prospect. Reading on twitter Luzardo is good but I had never heard of him.

Would not be surprised if Treinen bounced back big but we needed this change.

[imref]

Still need another right who can close.

[GuyFromCO]

Luzardo was TJS paid over slot. Probably was a first rounder last yr if not hurt.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Wasn't Luzardo supposed to be in the trade for Robertson that the Lerners blocked?

[Expos]

Well that's a nice way to wake up! We get 2 quality relievers. Nice work Rizzo

[Slateman]

Yes.

If Doolittle stays healthy, this is a huge win for Rizzo.

Now he he needs a closer

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Yes.

Oakland was using Madson in higher leverage situations than Casilla.  They went to doolittle and Madson for the toughest hitters late in the game.  with these two, you may not need a closer.  Both have closed (before injury).

Doolittle is related to Jimmy.  Something remote.

Don't care. Want a proven closer. Window is now.

[HalfSmokes]

Why does any owner let their gm trade with Rizzo?

[monkeyhit]

Losing Treinen was additional by subtraction.  Neuse is a good prospect.

[ZimW1N]

Great trade. Now go get Robertson.

[mmzznnxx]

Not exactly sure how this deal got done, but whatever, I'll take it. Especially since it means no more Treinen.

[imref]

Great trade. Now go get Robertson.

That would be the icing on the cake.

[bluestreak]

That would be the icing on the cake.

[UMDNats]

Dang, great freaking move.
