Scott Kazmir Traded to Angels for Alex Torres and MattSweeney - Halos Heaven Pitcher Scott Kazmir has been traded to the Angels. The Rays are receiving minor league pitcher Alex Torres and minor league power hitter Matt Sweeney.
Angels needed pitching so badly. I guess this helps a bit. But they still don't have enough pitching to go anywhere in the playoffs, that's if they hold off the Rangers. I guess it's a pretty good deal for the Angels, even if they gave up Torres who's a small dude but solid prospect.
Yeah its official... Apparently some sites don't know what the meaning of the saying "Deal has fallen through" means. Minor Leaguers is always a misleading title lol.
Angels' deal for Kazmir falls through ANAHEIM -- A proposed trade that would have sent Rays left-hander Scott Kazmir to the Angels for a pair of prospects has fallen through. Multiple reports had the Angels set to acquire Kazmir in a move aimed to bolster their beleaguered starting rotation. The Rays were to get pitcher Alexander Torres and third baseman Matthew Sweeney in return. Angels' deal for Kazmir falls through | MLB.com: News :dontknow:
it's official now Angels add Kazmir, bolster rotation | MLB.com: News After it appeared as though the trade fell through earlier in the day, the Angels officially announced during Friday night's game that they acquired left-hander Scott Kazmir from the Rays for prospects Alexander Torres and Matthew Sweeney and a player to be named later. Angels manager Mike Scioscia declined to talk about the trade before the game, but it was announced before the second inning began at Angel Stadium.
I guess the Rays have given up on this season... Freaking money dump at it's worst... I thought the Rays front ofice was better then this. To pull a midnight trade of one of our brightest stars? Bullcrap. I'm pissed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Y'all also got a pretty terrific shortstop prospect, Sean Rodriguez who I'd say looks better than Brandon Wood.
