Potential Trade Targets in We're Buyers

[Angrioter]

According to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, the Cubs have engaged in long-term contract talks with Matt Garza.

It has been assumed for weeks -- no, months -- that the Cubs would trade Garza at this year's July 31 deadline, but Heyman says club officials "recently have broached" the possibility of keeping the right-hander around long-term. This could be a ploy to drive up the trading price for Garza or it could be a show of confidence by the Cubs in their suddenly-blossoming minor league system.

Rogers should buy the Atlanta braves. they look good...

[Caper]

Braves are keeping Gattis with McCann leaving for FA. They'd want to keep the brothers together as well.

 

 

Yeah I agree with you.

[Caper]

Ok. I got another one.

 

Anthony Gose & Emilio Bonifacio to Seattle for Dustin Ackley. We cross our fingers and pray he can reach his potential and they get a better center fielder... I'm not sure why they would want Boni.... just no need for him.

[Caper]

Even though Gose is having a down year, I'm not sure we'd win that deal..

 

Oh... either am I. If you had to put money down you would have to guess that Ackley doesn't meet his potential..... but it could be a gamble willing to take. Especially at 2nd base. I would also say the risk isn't huge... because Gose probably wouldn't be much better then Rasmus.

Our best trade fit appears to be the Tigers by a wide margin. Something along the lines of Janssen + Loup + Gose + Rogers FOR Castellanos + Smyly perhaps. Not sure that quite gets it done, but should be a good basis.

Hey kirk.. you still like Nate Schierholtz?

 

Can prob get him for peanuts and crackerjacks at this point. He's f'd my fantasy team the last couple weeks so I'm kind of sour on him now.

 

Absolutely. A little slump does not define a player. He has a plus arm, is a good defender, has a high baseball IQ and hits right handers well. He'd fit very well today in a platoon with Davis and would slide in nicely in the 2-hole. If Melky came back healthy I would view it as a good problem to have.

I think Detroit would be very hestitant to trade Catellanos but a trade for Smyly is something I have thought about for awhile

 

Perhaps Janssen + prospect for Smyly ... I would include Bonifacio or possibly Gose, if that is what is needed to make a deal

Padres got anything we want??

Chase or bust!

Chase Headley and Jedd Gyorko but Jedd ain't going nowhere. Jason Marquis has a 9-4/3.79 ERA but his WHIP is awful at 1.49 and dude's given up 17 HRS already and walked 63 in those 107.0 IP.

[Pete_7]

Marquis is awful

[G-Snarls]

Marquis is awful

 

Yeah we have enough guys who give up walks and home runs but maintain an acceptable ERA.

[G-Snarls]

Marquis is awful

 

A move to the AL East might end his career.

Austin hedges would be a good prospect to target.

[KSaw]

Watch AA pick up Bonderman. A typical AA kind of move. Surely Seattle is hoping that someone will trade them NOTHING and eat something off what's left on that contract.

[G-Snarls]

No thanks

Wait until the deadline, when hopefully Detroit are desperate for relief pitchers - this looks like a terrible trade for us.

Jays win! Lets get Utley!!!

[Caper]

Jays win! Lets get Utley!!!

 

hahahaha.

[Tuco]

Apparently Ruiz is available.

We need to find a better catcher for next year if we plan on doing anything.

[Pete_7]

With what's going on with Lawrie I'd say Headley is more likely

[KSaw]

Whether it happens or not, it seems obvious that Michael Young would be the target with Lawrie playing 2b. Philly is one of the teams that like Bonifacio and Utley probably gets shipped too, often rumoured to Baltimore. A meh prospect and Bonifacio probably nets Young. He has an expiring contract that Philly would like to dump if they're selling.

[KSaw]

They still claim they aren't selling and they've been winning of late but I just can't see them making a run. Btw, the Giants have tanked and will be selling. Lincecum will hit the market.

[Pete_7]

You would think they're selling with the big man Hitting the DL........it's hard to say with Amaro.

 

Knowing Amaro he'll aquire Garza and pay him 200 mill over 7 years, than overpay a reliever this offseason just for kicks

I'd pass on Young, but that's me

It would be nice to add a high OBP hitter and one who isn't just a mistake masher. Young hits good pitching and this team has a big problem in that department. They feast on mistakes and do nothing against good pitching. Sure it's an uphill climb to beat a pitcher who is on his game but it's like this team is altogether doomed when it runs into a guy who is on.

I suppose if you could get him on a 2 year deal it could work
