Jays in on price?

[SAAviour]

Did I miss this posted somewhere from mlbtraderumors:

 

The Mariners, Dodgers, Angels, Pirates, Rangers, Diamondbacks and Blue Jays all have interest in David Price and believe they could put together a strong enough package to convince the Rays to deal him, Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan writes. The Mariners would be especially interested in Price if they also acquire Robinson Cano, and they might be willing to include Taijuan Walker to make a deal happen, Passan reports. Earlier today, Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik told the Tacoma News Tribune's Bob Dutton, "[A]lways have felt there would be a time where we have to augment this club. I think we’re at that time" (Twitter link).

 

Price has two years remaining before free agency, and MLBTR projects he'll make $13.1MM in the arbitration process this winter. The Rays aren't in a position where they must trade him, Passan points out, so they won't be desperate in negotiations. They could target a big-league-ready pitcher to step into Price's place in their rotation, Passan reports, and one would think that Walker, one of baseball's top young starters, would fit the bill. Walker, 21, posted a 2.93 ERA with 10.2 K/9 and 3.6 BB/9 in 141 1/3 innings between Double-A and Triple-A in 2013 before making three starts at the big-league level.

Stroman and Sanchez are the starting points, plus 2 more prospects.

 

If it only takes one of the 2 I'm in, for both ++ I'm out.

[Angrioter]

NO, GOD NO

 

Tai Walker available = Jays are out

[TheHurl]

Question is who does the Rays play at third if they get Lawrie?

[Dylan]

No thank you, too big of a price.

[jays_fever]

If the Jays trade anything substantial for a SP at this point after he confirmed on air that the Jays inquired about Fister, im going to lose it.

[Vdubfan]

The M's desperation I hope is something AA is willing to exploit. They have a GM who NEEDS to win, and a fan base who NEEDS to gain interest in the team again. I have been hoping for dome type of Bautista for Walker/Franklin package. Put the Bau $$ into a FA OF.

 

Having Price in TO would be sweet, but I'd dread that cost. Plus, he's actually scoring good money the next 2 years through arb, so he isn't ridiculously cost effective either. In 2 years, we'd either pay him 23/year, or let him walk. Say NO AA

[jays_fever]

NO, GOD NO

 

Tai Walker available = Jays are out

 

If the M's trade Walker for Price, that GM should get canned ASAP

[admin]

A deal with the Rays?

 

We'd be looking at Sanchez, Stroman, Osuna, Norris to start.

[Dylan]

Pun intended? I love puns.

 

Just saw that now, sure

I've been thinking a trade with the M's could be coming. They have the $$$, a great farm and need to start winning.

They may take away Tinnish too and f*** us over even harder.

[Ziggyy108]

Id trade for Price in a heartbeat.

[Ziggyy108]

Would be very surprised to see Tampa deal Price inside the division.

[Ziggyy108]

Not if it's Stroman+Sanchez for two years of Price. Terrible trade.

 

I'd do that trade.

[Angrioter]

We need to trade for someone more controllable. AA says he's in on guys who aren't publicly known to be available. If one of those guys has 2+ years of control and is young, get him. Not Price.

 

Like -------------> Carlos Rodon?

 

We need Tanaka and Colon

[Frenchsoup]

I'd do that trade.

 

Don't do it AA!

[ElNik2013]

M's GM trying to be the Moore/AA of this off season, maybe AA can redeem himself to an extent by screwing him in a trade.

Franklin for Sierra.

[ElNik2013]

Franklin for Sierra.

 

 

I'd be happy with Ackley for Sierra, but if it's Franklin....haha. Thames trade 2.0

Thanks for Delabar, suckas

[G-Snarls]

Lol

[KingKat]

That would be way better than the Thames trade.

[G-Snarls]

Not gonna get Price and that's OK

[ElNik2013]

That would be way better than the Thames trade.

 

 

Oh I know, but it will hopefully become a series, imagine what Thames trade 3.0 would look like...Happ for Walker!

[G-Snarls]

Passan:

 

Rival officials told Yahoo Sports the Rays aren't necessarily inclined to go strictly for a package of young players, either. Were a team to offer an established major league player with a team-friendly contract as the headliner, the Rays have indicated they would consider that sort of a deal as well.

[SAAviour]

Rays/jays/mariners three way including Bautista and price.

 

Rays can't afford Bautista.

[G-Snarls]

Bautista, EE

 

I shudder at the thought of either of them in a Rays uniform

[G-Snarls]

Rays/jays/mariners three way including Bautista and price.

 

Rays can't afford Bautista.

 

Yes

 

Mariners get Bautista

 

We get Price

 

Rays get...
