The Trade Deadline Thread

And if they're 5 games out of the wild card? No way you can scrap it. Potential playoff run puts asses in the seats and if they strike gold and make it, that's an extra whatever million dollars in revenue.

Besides, they can't get good enough value for Reyes to deal him.

If they can get rid of K-Rod, by all means trade his ass and get out from the $17 million he'll likely get next year.

If the team is in contention in 2-3 weeks, the only guy I'd okay trading is K-Rod.

The false hopes of the blind.
 
Mets shouldn't scrap it, especially when you have a glut named Jason Bay eating up payroll, along with Santana.

If anything the lone piece I could see them trading is K-Rod, then maybe acquiring a Mike Adams to close until the end of the year or until they feel Parnell can become that closer.

It's not like the Mets are OLD everywhere. They have Ike Davis, Tejada/Turner/Murphy, Reyes, Wright, Pagan, Thole, Gee, Dickey, Niese, Parnell, Beato as a solid core. These guys, outside of Wright and Reyes are cost controlled and mostly effective MLB players. And all, besides Dickey and Pagan are under 30 years old. (Dickey extended his career by about 5-7 years with his knuckleball effectiveness).

Most of this team is young or in their prime. If anything you re-tool and that's what I feel the Mets will do.

Reyes won't be traded...

Beltran...depends on how well the team is...if they are close, I think they will stand pat.


Obviously you want to add to the minor league system which is coming up slowly but don't deplete the MLB team unnecessarily...it would be stupid for a large market team to lose a player...IN IT'S PRIME. Either we are large market, or they operate like the Royals or something.



and I truly hope Pelf is traded although he's a workhorse...he's just too inconsistent and he's going up against the top pitchers in the game...

I never said they will blow it up, I just said I think they should, as in, my opinion.

They are the definition of a middling team and they really have no true hope to be any better than middling for the immediate future, in my opinion...big contract to now middling, past their prime players. Some young guys with talent, but no future studs.

From here, they can continue to be middling or hit the bottom sooner rather than later and build.
 
Marlins Get: Mike Cameron

Red Sox Get: player to be named later or cash

Marlins buying! I like when teams don't throw in the towel. Good for them.

There must not have been much interest in Cameron, which surprises me a little, unless teams were expecting the time period to elapse and then sign him as a FA. I'm assuming the Marlins were the only team to even make an offer.

McKeon really likes him, and they need some depth in the outfield right now. They could do a lot worse than Cameron.
 
Just read where the White Sox might dangle Carlos Quintin to the Braves for some pitching...(Beachy or Minor)
 
Just read where the White Sox might dangle Carlos Quintin to the Braves for some pitching...(Beachy or Minor)

I would be surprised if the Braves gave up either of them. I haven't seen much of Quentin this year to say, but is his defense still bad? If so, that's a bad deal for Atlanta.
 
What do you guys think the Nationals trade players are worth?

Jason Marquis
Lance Nix
Pudge

I think Marquis last two outings hurt his chances. Before that, he was having a career year. He was keeping the ball down and going deep in to ball games.

Nix is surpassing all expectations right now. .274/.315/.502 with 12 homers.

Pudge is still the veteran signal caller. A couple teams right now are probably interested in him (Giants are one I would assume)

The Nats need a couple things, of course. They need a leadoff hitter in the worst way. Someone who can get on base so that when Espinosa/Zimmerman/Morse hit home runs, they aren't solo shots.

Nats also need a shortstop who can hit AND play defense. Ian Desmond seems to be one or the other. Last year he had some pop but played like crap. This year, its the opposite.

I also think the Nats should consider trading someone out of their bullpen. Clippard or Henry Rodriguez. Both are future closers. But the Nats are set at closer with Storen. There's always teams looking for a closer or set up man for a late push. H-Rod could be cheaper than K-Rod.
 
I love the trade deadline. One of my favorite times of the MLB season.

Curious to see what the following do.

Phillies - will they add a bat, still wishing they wo
would have traded for Michael Young with all that bullshit going on in the preseason with him. I honestly cant see them doing anything here.

Angles - My honest opinion. They sit quite, save money and then go after Puljos in the offseason. He can DH and play first. Shame but Morales is never going to be the same.

Red Sox- I dont think they have any more money to spend

Yankees - always curious to see who they over pay for. This year they wont have the Pirates to rape for their star player.

Pirates - 1 game out right now. will they add a piece or stay put.
 
What do you guys think the Nationals trade players are worth?

Jason Marquis
Lance Nix
Pudge

Marquis - Someone will overpay for him. Teams looking for SP's tend to get panicky.

Nix - He will come cheap and go to a NL contender needing a LH power bat off the bench.

Pudge - PTBNL (C-level 25 y/o minor leaguer with no upside) & cash considerations
 
Jason Marquis - A nice mid-level pitching prospect and some change
Lance Nix - Low Ball playing prospect with upside...probably pitching.
Pudge - Someone who will probably never play.
 
I would be surprised if the Braves gave up either of them. I haven't seen much of Quentin this year to say, but is his defense still bad? If so, that's a bad deal for Atlanta.

The Braves have an inordinate amount of pitching prospect depth.

If they could swing Minor for Quentin, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I've heard this mentioned before. I'd probably do it but who the fuck plays CF when Chipper gets back and moves Prado to left?

Quentin/Heyward/Prado is a solid offensive outfield, and two of those guys are plus corner defenders .... but none of them can play center. Braves need a CF and leadoff guy primarily. I would love to target Michael Bourn and offer the Astros a few B-prospects. Their system is so bare that they'll take any high probability/low ceiling guys they can get.

JJ Hoover, Christian Betancourt and Carlos Perez for Bourn and Keppinger please.
 
Brad Peacock/Ross Detwiler + Derek Norris/Chris Marrero + H-Rod/Tyler Clippard + some other minor leaguer for Gio?
 
Hopefully the Reds really stumble out of the all star break, they have the pieces to trade for anyone they want. Just not the money.
