2015 Trade Deadline Targets Thread.

[GD]

I wonder if the Dodgers would do Rollins and Ethier for Reyes?

 

Maybe Rollins and Crawford

Is taking on below replacement level players on big contracts the new market inefficiency?

Friedman: f*** no!

[GD]

It doesn't have to cripple payroll. Outside of Donaldson, Bautista and Martin all the big contacts will be off the books. The lineup will have Stroman, Osuna, 2+ more young arms, Travis, Pompey/Alford/Vlad, among others still in their arb years. IMO if they can clear short-term money they'll be fine in the long run.

 

We'd need other pieces, at least. Kemp is an awful player with tens of millions remaining, at least Reyes gives you SOME performance.

Ethier has put up 1.7 WAR so far this year, is plus defensively in LF, and saves 4M / year over Reyes for the same term. Rollins is just flat out struggling this year offensively, but it's the final year of his contract and he has an excellent track record. Maybe getting him out of a pitcher's park will get him going. If not, play Goins. From the Dodger's perspective, Reyes is an upgrade over Rollins (at present), and Guerrero can take over in the field full time. I think it makes a certain amount of sense for both teams.

[GD]

Words used in that paragraph. "[...] play Goins. [...] it makes a certain amount of sense for both teams."

[DuckDuckGose]

I don't think it is. It cripples our salary for the years beyond Reyes' contract. If you take out the rest of the pieces besides Reyes that we'd be giving up it gets a little better. Maybe include Renfroe too.

For now but barely. He's only getting older, injury prone and playing on the turf. How long before he's a burden? Next year? Or in August when he inevitably goes down again?

I just looked at Kemp's profile, he's somewhat similar to Vernon Wells in terms of contract and playing style. Vernon was worth roughly replacement level over his last 3 years and cost 21 million a year.

 

In summary, I'll pass.

You make a deal knowing that

Bautista Encarnacion and Such should be traded this year for young mlb ready controllable pitching. This and this alone is the way to Jays Salvation.

Both can veto trades, and neither would have a reason not to.

So basically, they should trade the best of what they have, at positions where they have nothing else, for what they already have in excess? That and that alone is the way to Jays salvation?

I don't necessarily agree with trading those two, but how in the world do the Jays have an "excess" of MLB ready young controllable SP?

[Brownie19]

Wouldn't the reason be to escape the bloody abyss that is the Toronto Blue Jays to join a contending club and chase the dream of winning a World Series?

[HERPDERP]

Lots of scouts eyeing our prospects

Those starters include right-handers James Shields, Ian Kennedy, Tyson Ross and Andrew Cashner. The Padres also could trade relievers Joaquin Benoit and Shawn Kelley, both of whom are in the final years of contracts, not to mention position players such as left fielder Justin Upton.

 

Dodgers are also scouting us.

 

gimme Kershaw pls

[HERPDERP]

So realistically expect one or both of Hoffman and Norris to go

It would be hilarious if we traded real assets for Shields.

[TilsonBritoFan]

Honestly, if tomorrow AA packaged Reyes with Edwin to get rid of dat contract, and then dealt Bautista, Buehrle for prospect porn I would be very happy. We might make the playoffs with this team but have zero chance of winning a series with it.

[RealAccountant]

One starter is not going to save this team. It will be the difference between finishing 7 games out and 5 games out. Please no prospect trades

[BlueJayWay]

this guy's quoting rosenthal

 

[DuckDuckGose]

I'd give up an asset to get Shields + Upton, if San Diego eats some of the 2015 money.

 

I doubt the Padres move Shields this year though, that would be bad business. Shields likes it in San Diego.

 

I can't see SD moving Shields, Upton maybe but AA doesn't seem to interested in rentals.

They're only 2.5 games back now and have the best offense in baseball. I find it hard to believe that adding some pitchers would somehow make them worse.

[DuckDuckGose]

Well if they move either of those guys it will be for a very good player with control and a contract they can afford. I'd prefer to keep them both but for the right piece I'd move either or both of them.

We move Norris and we lose more of our female fanbase. We lost a chunk when Arencibia left.

Why?

Shields has not stepped free agency in years, Amirite?

For now. Yankees pitching is far superior. They actually have good mlb starters

[RealAccountant]

Christ I wouldnt take shields for his contract alone now

Is Norris considered attractive? I find him goofy looking. If they want to attract the ladies they should bring in Matt Kemp

If my cellmate it goes, i will go with him.

Jays have scored 83 more runs than the NYY in 3 extra games. They do have better pitching but the Jays offense is far superior. And lets not forget that the Jays would be bringing in a pitcher to improve their staff. They don't need an ace they just need a couple more serviceable arms. Doubront/Norris/Sanchez probably fills the 5 spot and BP for the 2nd half. Bring in a guy like Ross, Shields, Hamels and this team should make the playoffs.
