    It was a fun deadline. I'm going to miss Phillips. It was all Volquez's fault for injuring Springer :(

    They're just afraid of being made to look bad.

    In the end, most prospect for star deals favor the team getting the star.

    And they didn't have a bunch of "rentals", so if they weren't getting what they wanted they had no pressure to make a move, not like it's gonna affect their season

    Preller is a farce. Feel bad for Padres fans.

    Good luck making up that 7.5 games in the standings Preller. That ass clown has a decent shot to be fired by November.

    And there's always August. Doesn't it seem that every year that big deadline deals are rumored, that they never happen?

    Or tomorrow... I think he was still drunk after their improbable huge comeback rain delay win against the Mets yesterday.

    but they're going to get even less next year, while wasting like 8mill on him between now and then.

    Sweet. Extremely comforted to know that the front office won't budge from their valuations.

    Let's ride.

    Nice to know that Luhnow probably wasn't willing to give up Velasquez.

    If you trade for a player before the season whose a rental do you still get draft pick compensation? During the season no but if the former gets you a pick then the same value could be there.

    Do tell....

    I'm cool with standing pat.

    Preller is just further proof that nothing good ever comes out of Dallas.

    Maybe, maybe not

    And, this gives them a shot to come back next year and build a team that could compete. Look, i'm not saying I think the guy has done a good job. Nor am I saying he handled the deadline well. But if he wasn't getting the offers he wanted, I don't think it's dumb to hang on to controllable pieces.

    Now having said that, Justin Upton, Ian Kennedy and Will Venable will be free agents and should have been moved for something. All three could have brought them back something
