What would Jason Hammel command???

I honestly wouldn't even deal with the cubs they just want you to overpay for everything.

Anyone trading away a SP these days wants people to overpay

 

(well, except for the Tigers it would seem. They'll apparently trade a #2 starter for whatever you have lying around)

I am in the Ian Kennedy boat but i don't think he would come tooo cheap either but Towers has made some Derp moves is his career so you never know.

[glory]

How about Gavin Floyd? Braves apparently willing to move him, and from what I remember he has pretty good numbers against the AL East.

Ruben Amaro “Kendrick has 64 wins. You know how many wins Garza has? 67.”

Kendricks > Garza = CJ Edwards, Grimm, Olt and Neil Ramirez

Damn those teams that want value in return. Why can't they just take poor project-able 23 year olds in A Ball that are putting up sweet numbers?

[RIPEXPOS]

No way do I give up both Sanchez and Norris. Let them pick one, plus Nolin, and DJ Davis. I think that package should be able to get us a good quality starter.

I understand why the cubs want a boatload. I would to if I was them I am just saying I would deal with other teams. There are a lot of guys out there.

[HERPDERP]

Although every now and then there is a trade that makes you wonder "you only gave that much?" The one I can recall is the Indians-Phillies trade for Lee.

[Chappy]

Honestly, unless if AA is going to extend a trade target, I would rather keep our young arms. We could have Hutch, Stroman, Nolin, Sanchez, and Norris all in the rotation mix come next season. Once Dickey and Buehrle are gone, we could have a really cheap and effective rotation.

[felinefriendly]

Doubt Jays will get anybody, just like how they failed miserably at acquiring Darvish.

 

Prove me wrong AA

[RIPEXPOS]

They wouldn't accept that. They would get a better offer from a different team.

 

Are we talking the Cubs and Shark specifically? Perhaps. But then I'd look to other options. Let them pick one of Sanchez/Norris, and then let them pick any 3 prospect names (roster, Pompey, and 2014 draftees not included). If that's not enough, you move on.

Bingo! Ignore Shark Ignore Price. Don't We could build a cheap rotation out of Stro, Hutch, Norris and Sanchez(hoping he cuts down the walks). Not so high on Nolin. That is how the Cardinals are contenders year after year. We have a good chance to make the playoffs with the team we have right now. I don't see selling 2 top pitching prospects as a make or break for the season.

[Frenchsoup]

Pompey might be a good sell high.

 

Yes but if you do that you have to believe in gose

[Angrioter]

[GeorgiaPeach]

Sanchez will probably be part of any deal. Logic dictates that's why they promoted him. They're hoping he spins off a few gems to up his value.

 

If Sanchez is a part of any deal it better be for one of the better SP's being named and not one of the weaker SP's like Hammel or Kennedy. And even then, if we're talking a premier SP, we're talking a couple to a few more prospects being tacked on to Sanchez.

 

This all-in push is stupid.

While I agree, you know it's coming. AA is in first place and accordion to his own statements, more players are available then they thought. I think it's only a matter of time before AA does something stupid.

Oh it's coming. He struck out on Dickey as an Ace so now that the team is where it is, they'll throw more resources at the starting rotation, you can bet on it.

"Source confirms Jeff Samardzija rejected a five-year offer from Cubs. Value was slightly more than $85 million, source said."

 

 

Shark isn't coming to Toronto

Why not? We'll take him for 1.5 years then QO and draft pick.

Maybe Alex want to extend Shark (ALA Dickey) before give 2 or 3 good prospects.

[Daniel Labude]

Make the deal, hope we make the playoffs and have a great showing, then see if Shark likes it here/wants to stay. Sign an extension or trade him before next season if it will return more than QO/pick

[G-Snarls]

Maybe Alex want to extend Shark (ALA Dickey) before give 2 or 3 good prospects.

 

At this point I think probably he would prefer to trade less away and just get the 1.5 years. Save more of the farm. Given all GM's now know how much money he wants, maybe the offers are less for trade.

[Boxcar]

I don't understand the purpose of scouting a single start...or even a few starts.

[xposbrad]

Ya, no thank you to Shark. He just rejected a 5yr85m deal, he's not worth 17m+, good luck to whichever team overpays to get him. Why didn't this team just spend the money on Darvish or Tanaka.
