Jays and Rays discussing a trade involving Encarnacion and Price??

[The_DH]

This could help land a free agent starter. Price and Garza would be good additions. Melky could DH and Gose, Sierra or Pillar in left. Defense in the outfield improves. Or Youk as an addition.

[jaysblue]

Would trade EE for Cobb, but not Price.

 

Wow, I'd love to be in the fantasy league you're in.

You still mulling over Price trades in DDL?

Some of my finer work.

[jaysblue]

Edwin's K% is godly for a power hitter. Downright godly.

 

They are amazing. Usually guys with 35-40 HR power strikeout a ton, though EE's K% is just absurd for the type of hitter he is. EE for MVP next year - book it!

[jaysblue]

I was talking real life lol, fantasy value is not even close.

 

No way I do that deal still for Cobb.

[CHRIS]

If I worked for Rogers, I would use my knowledge of telephone systems to ensure that any time AA tries to contact Friedman, the call gets re-routed to an actor who can do an impeccable Friedman voice. Communication with the real Friedman should not be allowed under any circumstance.

Yeah, I'm working in close negotiations with one team, and something might get done later this week possibly.

Guys, he's going after LoMo and then this comes out. Wouldn't be surprised if he thinks LoMo is 1B insurance and trades EE for Price.

 

This wouldn't surprise me in the least. Ugh.

Notice how he is targeting all the "twitter stars". It's the new market inefficiency.

[Dylan]

If there is a trade to aquire walker and others from the Mariners... I'd surely think that path is the one the Rays would take

Well, he let one go. Gotta maintain the quota!

[connorp]

Omfg.. Who else could see something like this happening?

 

Short on time today..didn't read many replies so sorry if I'm parroting..

 

This makes no f'n sense..and I'm one of few on here that believe in Price..think he will age/perform like Lee

 

I would do Moore for Edwin without thinking twice normally... But the way the team is built presently..without any corresponding deals to aquire a big bat..I dont think I would even do that deal.

If I was the Rays. I would think Edwin >Walker. Honestly I would rather see Rays aquire Walker than a Edwin type guy

[Boxcar]

I'd love to see you defend the Edwin-Anderson comp, baseless premise.

 

He's just being petulant.

lol

I'd definitely be careful about throwing AA under the bus for a rumour like this... We all pretty much fell for the Bautista/Dom Brown rumour and that was completely fabricated.

Jonah Kerri is a pretty legit source for anything Rays related though. I doubt this one was completely made up.

His deals since the Happ one have people cringing on what comes next. It's his own doing that caused paranoia

[Boxcar]

Relax guys, EE isn't elite so he'll probably be just slightly above average next season

[Sammy225]

Friedman just throwing rumors out there to jack up the price. Now the Mariners will get scared and come right over the top.

It's one rumour. Heyman is an idiot but he thinks the M's, Dodgers, and Rangers are leading the race for Price.

 

Let's reserve judgment... But just the fact that this was potentially even discussed between the two teams is scary enough.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Wouldn't be surprising. AA isn't going to come out and comment on any rumours thrown out there. Would make perfect sense for the Rays to try stuff like that.

Obviously we'd have to see exactly what all the parts are and the payroll implications...

 

But if some how EE++ becomes Price and LoMo... the team is younger, possibly better (again depending what the ++ is). Not sure why everyone is going banana's on this. Price and LoMo are atleast <30.

 

What will be better EE 31-34 or LoMo + platoon partner 26-29?? Lot of issues... including the roster spot for a platoon partner.

 

LoMo will probably not ever have the season EE did at 29.

LoMo 26 + Price vs EE 32 ?? Should be a debatible topic.

[Nox]

Multiple bidders on Price?

 

This will not end well for someone.

[Abomination]

Maybe both their prices get jacked up, Mariners get both, and we somehow manage to nab Iwakuma and Franklin out of it. Yeah, probably not, but it's nice to dream.

Dear god.

 

Logan Morrison is absolutely terrible. Price is here for two years max.

 

Edwin is elite and is here for a guaranteed 3 years at below market value.

 

What the hell is wrong with you?

[connorp]

In plus news..this board is showing good signs of life with a 200+ post thread a couple hours after rumor. Lot of activity in other threads too. Maybe cause WM and people are on here checking in? I know I can personally count on fatcow and angrioter to give me the breaking news as it happens

[Atothe]

I have no reason not to believe they discussed a trade if Jonah Kerri reportsit. Jonah isn't much for speculation ala Jonny Heyman

LoMo suck. He's like JPA, twinting and hitting
