@stevephillipsgm Sources indicate #Jays close to a deal with Seunghwan Oh. Could happen tonight.

They might also be trading Happ soon.

If we're going to trade for Dozier, it'd be nice to do it before the coming series with him.

@stevephillipsgm Sources indicate #Jays close to a deal with Seunghwan Oh. Could happen tonight. It appears to be for 1B prospects Sean Bouchard and Chad Spanberger, the latter being 24th on the Rockies MLB.com's prospect list. Seems pretty light for a reliever on a $1.75M salary with a $2M club option for next season. JA Happ should be next.

Earlier they had wanted either Sheffield or Frazier for him, but that's not happening. They have lowered their asking price I suppose. Oh was a nice pickup by the Rockies. Wouldn't have minded the Sox getting him. He's a good pitcher.

MLB.com:
Brian Dozier, 2B, Twins Dozier is hitting just .223/.306/.410, hardly the line you expect from the slugger who hit .269/.349/.522 across 2016-17, which might mean he's played himself out of a qualifying offer, which might then make the Twins more likely to deal him. That said, there have been signs of life -- .247/.317/.521 in July -- and there are a handful of teams with second-base problems, like the Red Sox, who can't count on Dustin Pedroia to be healthy or Nunez (.252/.279/.354) to produce. The idea of the notoriously pull-heavy Dozier taking aim at the Green Monster is an entertaining one. Prediction: Red Sox
J.A. Happ, LHP, Blue Jays Happ has been linked to the Yankees for weeks, and we know that the Yanks desire a starter, since only Luis Severino could be considered "reliable" right now. Happ has been inconsistent lately and isn't really a perfect fit, but in this rotation market, no one really is. Prediction: Yankees

Oakland has been on a tear and have moved within 1 1/2 games of Seattle for the wildcard spot. That should impact the deadline. Manaea for a one game anyone ?

I think Dozier will cost more than a lot of us are thinking. The Twins have Mauer coming off the books next season and want to compete for the WC. Dozier is a guy I’d love to take a one year deal on the QO if I’m the Twins.

Dozier is a guy I’d love to take a one year deal on the QO if I’m the Twins. Dozier is a 1.1 fWAR player. I doubt if the Twins will take that risk, it would be a serious overpay if he accepted. I think the draft pick is a non factor.

I just disagree. They have less than $35M of gaurenteed money on the books next season I bet they’d love him back at 18-20ish million. Fangraphs has him worth 9.1 million this season and that’s with him slumping. I think the conversation would start with Groome or Chavis and probably adding a pretty good second piece.

In that article, Mike Petriello says the Giants will be sellers, even though FG has their playoff odds at 11.5% and BP has them at 9.8%.
If that's the case, then either Will Smith or Tony Watson might be available. Both are controlled through 2019 and Watson has an option year as well.
Smith leads all of MLB in jxwOBA by a fairly wide margin, at .198, and has a 51 WPA-. Watson's .265 and 38.

Drury could potentially be a decent player, especially if they figured out the migraines and accompanying blurry vision. He's only 25 and plays multiple positions.

Ken Rosenthal Verified account @ken_Rosenthal 3m3 minutes ago More #Yankees getting J.A. Happ for Drury and Billy McKinney, per @feinsand and @jonheyman. Drury alone would be quite a score for #BlueJays. He is 25 with three more years of control, albeit with nowhere to play in NY. Happ is 35 and a rental.

Yankees did a neat job buying high and selling low on Drury. I agree. I felt like the Yankees were begging teams to take Drury. He didn't have much value to them, and he was able to get a team to take him. I thought they were trying to get Baltimore to take him but no dice. I'd have rather seen the Yankees give up McKinney and one of their pitching prospects but oh well. I guess I'm also frustrated that McKinney was even thrown into the Chapman trade with Gleyber Torres.

The side effect of this is that Drury and Walker play the same positions and Walker is pretty much toast. This will hurt their depth. Happ has also been hammered recently. I was actually hoping the Yankees would get him rather than Fiers.

Happ’s been struggling lately and despite the K rate, I’m not so sure he’s all that much of an answer for them. Their rotation is in tough shape. Good to see them struggling a bit for answers and kinda overpaying.

Pretty cool to see the Yankees overpay like this after the Beeks trade. Liking it more and more as time passes.
