General Offseason Discussion Thread

Sign both Iwakuma and Shark.

 

I don't see Iwakuma leaving Seattle. There's a reason ownership would not allow him to be traded. Shark would be an interesting target. We know AA likes him...depends on the $$ he's looking for. I doubt he signs a pillow contract here.

BTS trying to crush an ambitious young man's dreams, as usual.

All I want is for AA to ninja trade for Mike Trout and Bryce Harper. Is that so much to ask for? Just 2 little trades. That would give us an outfield of Trout-Pillar-Harper. Pretty sexy if you ask me.

Donaldson for Trout+Calhoun+prospects?

Donaldson for Trout+Calhoun+prospects?

 

Sounds fair to me. Trout had a career year and LAA should be looking to sell high.

[KingKat]

Seems like to org is lacking faith in him and he's gotta start hitting

 

If the org had no faith, I believe he would have been moved in one of the deadline deals.

[500LevelSTH]

Not sure if this has been answered elsewhere...

 

Since Tulo is a 5+ signed to a longterm contract, does He have the right to request a trade or be granted FA at end of season?

No, but he has a full no trade clause.

[Captainobvious]

I love both but we need to find ways to upgrade our starting pitching and it'll be hard to re-sign both in 16

 

1) Who would you rather keep if you had to trade one to fill other holes?

 

2) Any trade ideas as to what we could get in return?

 

Ex. A starting discussing of Edwin/Jose for Carrassco

 

2016 starting lineup

 

LF Revere

2B Travis

DH Bautista/Edwin

3B Donaldson

SS Tulo

1B ???

C Martin

CF Pillar

RF Pompey

[Terminator]

This team is win now mode. I wouldn't trade either.

[BTS]

Can we please stop talking about moving one year of Edwin/Bautista for 5 of cheap years of Carrasco?

[Jonn]

Nope keep both. They don't have as much value as people think they do. They control their destiny completely. Plus they are in the final year of there contracts. And we should be looking to bring them both back after that.

[Laika]

Both would be close enough in value to Justin Upton, I think.

 

Max Fried, Jace Peterson, Dustin Peterson, Mallex Smith.

 

Seems like a bad trade for Atlanta, in hindsight. They should have been able to get a better piece than anything in that deal. Bad for SD as well.

No, chut up! Don't ruin my dreams.

[L54]

Trade them both for middling B prospects

[GD]

Edwin + $5m for Strasburg

Edwin + $5m for Ross

Edwin + $10m + nothing prospect for Liriano

[BTS]

Edwin + $5m for Strasburg

Edwin + $5m for Ross

Edwin + $10m + nothing prospect for Liriano

 

Those are probably all fair, but I'm not sure they make the team better.

[baseballsss]

No, but he has a full no trade clause.

 

Did that kick in when he got traded?

[GD]

Those are probably all fair, but I'm not sure they make the team better.

 

Eh, what are we gonna do, trade him for a middling prospect? It's a really complicated situation. Solution might just be to let EE walk.

 

Or we could sign Gordon and move Bautista to 1B, lol

[Grant77]

This team is win now mode. I wouldn't trade either.

 

Precisely. We really only need one good pitcher and some insurance for Sanchez and Osuna. There's room in the payroll for that without ruining our lineup.

[Spanky99]

Yes.

[SaskJaysFan_2]

Precisely. We really only need one good pitcher and some insurance for Sanchez and Osuna. There's room in the payroll for that without ruining our lineup.

 

I think one really good pitcher, and another solid pitcher and we're good. I'd like to keep one of Sanchez and Osuna in the 'pen.

 

I wonder if Hutchinson would thrive in the 'pen?

Anyone know the likelihood of the dome having a dirt infield for 2016?

[Stangstag]

Anyone know the likelihood of the dome having a dirt infield for 2016?

 

I think it was already confirmed

[canadiansportsjunkie]

I heard 2017 for dirt...

[burlingtonbandit]

Honestly I don't even think I want a dirt infield. Seems the Blue Jays could use the turf to their advantage more without one. GB pitchers get an extra boost with the full turf field and if you put dirt on it, you might see a few more hits. Jays hitters are mostly Flyball hitters so I think it wouldn't impact them as much.

 

That is why I would love to see Brett Anderson in Toronto as I think he would be a perfect fit.

they talked about having dirt in the infield for next year. That would be a great plus. I hate the cut outs. Of course a real grass field would be the best option but it's a step in the right direction
