MLB Chise Trade Talks

[Lanteri]

I need a leadoff hitter in my Rangers franchise.

Preferably a SS or an OF.

Suggestions?

Uhh, Willy Taveras maybe? He isn't that great but he's fast and it would be fairly realistic considering he's been pushed out of a starting spot in Cincy.

[Lanteri]

Juan Pierre FTMFW lol...but forreal, he hits for contact and is hella' fast.

That's actually a good call. He has a big ass contract too so the Dodgers would love nothing more than to dump his ass too.

How can I get Iwamura out of Tampa?

All I want is a 2B/SS

Martin Prado from ATL.

[goDawgs1433]

I'm thinking about a deal for Ryan Ludwick in my Braves 'chise. Would that be realistic? Any other ideas for a slugging outfielder?

wouldnt be realistic, how about ankiel instead?

[goDawgs1433]

Not realistic? Did you follow the Braves this offseason? We were close to dealing for Ludwick.

[chazmaniandevil]

dont see the cards giving up ludwick after an all-star year

i only see this happening if the cards get escobar +

[goDawgs1433]

They need 2B more than SS, but really need a 3B and RP as Cudi said.

And it's not like Ludwick's been great all along, he just had one good year. I'm not sure that they're still completely confident that he can produce at that level and stay healthy.

lol if you wana do the trade do it, but im telling you how its going to be realistic, btw the only way this deal was gunaa get done in a peavy deal, they wont trade him without getting escobar, he can play 2B

[goDawgs1433]

Fair enough. I still think it's fairly realistic based on r/l, though.

And Peavy has caught my attention more and more, though. I'm not sold on giving up Escobar yet, but I need to keep Hanson

[FirstTimer]

The Ludqick to Braves rumors were mostly just that and and never had real legs. The Ankiel to Braves rumor was more realistic and more viable for the Cards because Rasmus could come in and play CF.

The only reason Ludwick even came up was because of his contract status. Ankiel was WAY more realistic of a deal and the Cardinals wanted a starter for him if they traded him.

[goDawgs1433]

Thanks for the input, Firsttimer...always droppin that trade knowledge!

[goDawgs1433]

Double post, but...

What about Nate McLouth? Any chances of the Bucs trading him? They've got McCutchen coming up behind him, keep in mind. And if so, what would they most want in return?

[goDawgs1433]

I guess you would know...he of the random Pirate fan dad, lol.

How far away is he from being in Pittsburgh?
