Cubs on the Verge of Acquiring Miguel Montero: Navarro Implications?

It might not come as a surprise that the DBacks are close to trading Miguel Montero, however, trading Montero will likely mean they are short at catcher. The expected return of the deal is rumored to be pitching prospects, so no real catching option will be acquired according to reports.

 

That leaves Dioner Navarro as one of the best catchers available on the trade market.

 

I have heard that Aaron Hill could be available, with Owings and Pennington manning the middle infield for the DBacks...Hill could be a real option for the Jays.

 

Thoughts on Navarro to the Backs and what the possible return could be?

I don't want any part of Hill unless the Dbacks are paying a HUGE chunk of his salary due injury concerns, his age, and eroding skills.

[Laika]

Navarro for Ziegler is even money + fills a short term need for both teams.

Hill is not good anymore, he's past his prime... I wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole

He was really good in 2012 and 2013. I'd be willing to give him a mulligan on 2014.

[LongTimeReader]

He wasn't really good in 2013, he was just okay. He will be 33 going into next season and he didn't fair well as a Blue Jays in his final time here.

 

And he's had a negative UZR the last 3 seasons, that's likely only going to get worse.

 

Not a risk I'd take.

His last year was when he was Dwayne Murphied though.

 

IF Dbacks ate a substantial part of his contract, Hill would be a nice upgrade on Goins at the plate. He could help transition to Travis, if he develops well.

He would be an upgrade over Goins at the plate, but would he actually be an upgrade overall? I'm not even sure... Goins defense is substantially better. Hill was an exciting player a couple years ago (again), but he likes to go into these funks, or age is finally catching up to him.

I've suggested this a few times elsewhere already, but I'd love Navarro for Evan Marshall.

Why would the Diamondbacks trade a young, controllable, pretty good reliever for a replacement level catcher?

[G-Snarls]

Cause he's so darn huggable

[TheHurl]

Why would the Diamondbacks trade a young, controllable, pretty good reliever for a replacement level catcher?

 

If they knew Navarro is replacement level would they ever have traded Montero? They still wouldn't deal Marshall for him, but in no way are the D-Backs buying into pitch framing values.

Because Dave Stewart is dumn! (just look at how he valued Montero)

 

Maybe he's not a realistic target. Maybe a reliever a tier below Marshall.

[Laika]

Ziegler!!!!!

Hopefully not Hill

[glory]

Yep, Ziegler seems most realistic. Cost is a wash and it fills needs for both teams.

 

I'd try to get Delgado, though. Aim high.

[jaysblue]

Delgado would be nice seems like a good old AA buy low candidate

His xFIP is better than Morrow's so that would be phenomenal if we could get him for that fat sack of s*** Navarro

He was solid out of the pen last year as a long man. Still is young enough and has the potential to be a decent starter.

They can't be that dumb to trade Delgado for Navarro can they? It would be a coup for AA.

[GD]

Doubt that's possible. Ziegler I could see though.

[Laika]

Never underestimate the stupidity of the DBags.

[Westfan]

. Navarro has little value at 5 mil but I guess if the Jays eat enough salary he might bring a decent enough reliever. I'm not setting my hopes very high.

[JaysRap]

I'd like to take Wade Miley too and stick them with Dickey. But they'd probably want us to take Hill at a minimum.

[jaysblue]

The DBacks have made stupid trades over the last two years. AA has been a true ninja this offseason, so if this is like the AA who went out and got guys like Morrow, Rasmus, Escobar when they were undervalued, then Delgado fits the bill.

Jays won't get Miley for Navarro
