07 Dec 2013 18:49:00
Mets get: Matt Kemp, 32 mil (mets would pay 16 million per year)

Dodgers get: Daniel Murphy, Rafael Montero, Wilmer Flores

Dodgers need to trade an OF and now have more money to sign Price and/or Tanaka

Mets get an all-star outfielder for relatively cheap considering the market this year.

Here are options the Yankees should consider for pitching, Rotation and Bullpen:

RHP Bronson Arroyo

RHP Bartolo Colon

Yankees-A's trade
Yankees get: Brett Anderson
A's get: Brett Gardner, Slade Heathcott, PTBNL

RHP Ervin Santana

Yankees-White Sox trade
Yankees get: Addison Reed
White Sox get: Brett Gardner, JR Murphy

RHP Grant Balfour

Yankees-Tigers trade
Yankees get: Luke Putkonen
Tigers get: JR Murphy, Dellin Betances

RHP Fernando Rodney

Arroyo is a posibility. Colon I don't think would happen. I think Anderson is possible. But they aren't trading Gardner, I also don't think they would put Heathcott in that deal. Santana is ok and isn't worth the money. Reed would be a nice acquisition. but I still don't see them parting with Gardner. I do Balfour happening. I don't know who Putkonen is, so no.

Yankees fan.
Arroyo would be AWFUL
Colon is ok but not my first choice
Bad trade
Bad idea
Bad trade
Yes
Bad trade
Maybe

07 Dec 2013 16:28:17
Trumbo to Reds for Bailey and Marshall

Hah! You'd have to add another prospect JUST for Bailey

07 Dec 2013 15:05:07
Red Sox: Mark Trumbo
Angels: Felix Doubront

First of all, the Sox just re-signed Napoli, so they no need Trumbo. Second, Trumbo is not available. Third, it would LIKELY take more for Trumbo.

I think Boston would prefer to send a RH pitcher such as Dempster or Lackey rather than their only LH starter. Otherwise, I think this could be a benefit for both teams.

However, the Sox really need another option in CF, which is certainly not Trumbo.

LongtimeBaseballFan

Lackey is a left handed starter.

^ Lester is a lefty

I'm sorry, I meant Lester.

Lackey is right handed and Lackey is right handed.

First of all, TRUMBO is available for a starting pitcher for the Halos. Secondly, Lackey is NOT a left-handed pitcher. He is right handed. Some people out there just do NOT know their facts before spewing out false and useless information. Get it right folks before you start to post

07 Dec 2013 12:37:20
2014 Pittsburgh Pirates

Pirates signings
(Sign) James Loney 2 years $17 million
The Pirates need a first basemen and Loney is the best option (that won't cost them any of their blue chip prospects).

(Resign) Clint Barmes 1 year $2 million
No Pirate fan in their right mind wants Barmes back, but he is Hurdle's son so he will be back.

(Sign) Paul Maholm 1 year $6 millon
The Pirates are familiar with Maholm and unlike his first stint in Pittsburgh, he won't be asked to be a 1 or 2. Just fill out the back end. Maholm is also a cheap option until Taillon is ready to take over.

Pirates get: Ichiro Suzuki, OF

Yankees get: Andy Oliver, P and a Mid Level prospect

With the recent signings of Ellsbury and Beltran, the Yankees now have a surplus of outfielders. So they will probably be looking to unload either Gardner or Ichiro.

Ichiro gives the Pirates a short term answer in RF, until Polanco is ready.

2014 Lineup
1. Starling Marte, LF
2. Ichiro Suzuki, RF
3. Andrew McCutchen, CF
4. Pedro Alvarez, 3B
5. James Loney, 1B
6. Neil Walker, 2B
7. Russell Martin, C
8. Jordy Mercer, SS

Bench
Gaby Sanchez, 1B
Clint Barmes, SS
Jose Tabata, OF
Chris Stewart, C
Josh Harrison, UT/ Jaff Decker, OF


Rotation
1. Gerrit Cole
2. Francisco Liriano
3. Charlie Morton
4. Paul Maholm
5. Wandy Rodriguez/ Jeff Locke/ Brandon Cumpton

Bullpen
CU. Jason Grilli
SU. Mark Melancon
LHP Tony Watson
LHP Justin Wilson
RHP Vin Mazzaro
RHP Jeanmar Gomez
RHP Stolmy Pimentel/ RHP Duke Welker/ RHP Bryan Morris/ RHP Miles Mikolas

The Yankees will probably look to dump Vernon Wells also.

Angels pay 14 of 18 million that is a great prices for a 4th outfielder

I think other teams will be in play for Ichiro, specifically the Giants, Diamondbacks, and. Mariners?

LongtimeBaseballFan

It is a great price, but they have a bunch of outfielders. I think he will not be apart of the Yankees next year.

07 Dec 2013 08:52:14
Ichiro for Marco Scutaro

Doesn't make sense for the Giants because Blanco hits lefty and they are looking for another platoon partner for him, and they need Scutaro's offense.

I think the Cano signing will create a ripple effect for both the Yankees and Mariners.

Seattle will need to fill other holes and likely trade a couple of young guys such as Franklin.

The Yankees need to find a 2B.

How ironic would it be if the two clubs dealt Gardner for Franklin?

LongtimeBaseballFan

It would be ironic, but I don't think they are going to trade Gardner. Wells and Ichiro are probably gone. I see them signing Infante or trading for Phillips, most likely signing Infante.

07 Dec 2013 08:33:31
Ok I think everyone is forgetting a few things with Cano going to the Mariners

1-They need to find a few outfielders, another starting Pitcher, and bullpen help

2-They didn't really need Cano. Yes he will bring fans to Safeco, but Franklin could of been a great player with us. But we will never know

So with that being said I have a solution for everybody

Trade

Sea-Phi

Seattle recieves: OF Dominic Brown, CL Jonathan Papelbon, $8m, mid level prospect

Philadelphia recieves: 2B Nick Franklin, SP Brandon Maurer, 2 mid level prospects

Seattle gets the outfielder with some power that the mariners absolutely need. Yes Franklin might be a bit much for Brown who has only had one solid season. But I think for the Mariners they should have the courtesy to let Franklin go play somewhere were he will be able to start soon (has to sit behind Utley for a few seasons) rather than sit behind Cano for the next 10 years.

Free Agency:

Sign SP Ubaldo Jimenez
Resign Kendrys Morales


2014 Seattle Mariners
1-SS Brad Miller
2-3B Kyle Seager
3-2B Robinson Cano
4-DH Kendrys Morales
5-RF Dominic Brown
6-1B Justin Smoak
7-CF Abraham Almonte
8-C Mike Zunino
9-LF Dustin Ackley

Rotation
1-Felix Hernandez
2-Ubaldo Jimenez
3-Hisashi Iwakuma
4-James Paxton
5-Taijuan Walker

Another thing. If the Mariners trade for Price, it will be the dumbest thing they will ever do. They won't be able to give him a deal like Felix and he will leave for 1st rnd Pick in return (woopdie ****in Doo) and give up 6 years of Walker who can become the next great pitcher like King Felix or Price. So that's why I felt comfortable trading Franklin because I don't think they should pursue price

07 Dec 2013 06:20:15
Now that the Mariners have signed Robinson Cano (wont be official until monday) they need to worry about their other needs in the winter meetings.

Free Agency

Sign SP Ubaldo Jimenez to a 3 year deal with a team option for a 4th for $45m (4th year for another $13m)

Sign OF/DH Nelson Cruz to a 4 year deal worth $68m

Sign CL Grant Balfour to a 2 year deal worth $16m

Resign DH Kendrys Morales to a 2 year deal worth $30m
Trade

(Mariner are willing to go over their average $90m salary)

Sea-Phi

Seattle recieves: OF Dominic Brown

Philly recieves: 2B/SS Chris Taylor, 3B/OF Stefen Romero, mid level prospect

2014 Seattle Mariners

1-SS Brad Miller
2-3B Kyle Seager
3-2B Robinson Cano
4-RF Nelson Cruz
5-DH Kendrys Morales
6-LF Dominic Brown
7-1B Justin Smoak
8-C Mike Zunino
9-CF Abraham Almonte

Rotation

1-RHP Felix Hernandez
2-RHP Ubaldo Jimenez
3-RHP Hisashi Iwakuma'
4-LHP James Paxton
5-RHP Taijuan Walker

I think these moves are believable after the mariners getting Cano. I think he will attract more people to want to come and play for us. The downfall of all this to me is 2B Nick Franklin. I liked him a lot and felt he could of been a great players for years to come. I just hope we trade him to give him the chance he deserves. He is going to be a very good player in this league one day.

Cabrera at 3rd what about Fielder, know your team before you post

Cabreras at 1st fielder in long gone to rangers

Really, where have you been. Fielder was traded to Texas about 3-4 weeks ago. SO know you info before you blast someone.

"Cabrera at 3rd what about Fielder, know your team before you post"

So ironic! lol Fielder's been long gone bud. Know you team before you post.

Conservative Buccos Fan

07 Dec 2013 04:44:47
Tigers get
Brett Gardner

Yankees get
Hernan Perez
Jake Thompson

Intersting trade

This is fair trade, but the Tigers need a power hitting outfielder, which Gardner is not.

Choo is their main target. Is he a power hitting outfielder? This gives a lesser Choo rather a slightly lesser Ellsbury without handing out a 100+ mil contract.

07 Dec 2013 03:05:52
Mariners offseason

Nelson Cruz 3 years 45 million
Grant Baulfour 2 years 14 million
Ulbado Jimenez 3 years 40 million
Shin-Soo Choo 5 years 100 million

Trade

LAD-SEA

LAD trades Matt Kemp + 80 million

SEA trades James Paxton or Danny Hulzen, Nick Franklin, and Stefen Romero

Lineup

C Mike Zunino
1B Justin Smoak
2B Robinson Cano
3B Kyle Seager
SS Brad Miller
LF Shin-Soo Choo
CF Matt Kemp
RF Abraham Almonte
DH Nelson Cruz

I know that the Mariners aren't getting everyone on there wish list but these might be some of the options they might have

Also going to trade for Price

I think taking out Kemp is better. Trade Walker, Franklin, and another minor leaguer for David Price. Use the money you would've spent taking the contract of Kemp for an extension on Price. Then y'all would look pretty good. Re-Sign Kendrys Morales 2 YR 20 Mill.
STARTERS:
1. Felix Hernandez
2. David Price
3. Hisashi Iwakuma
4. Ubaldo Jiminez
5. James Paxton
LINEUP:

5. DH Kendrys Morales
6. 1B Justin Smoak
7. C Mike Zunino
8. SS Brad Miller
9. CF Michael Saunders

^ I think trading walker and franklin for price is a little much, I feel like it would be one of the 2, plus a few other good prospects

If you compare this to the Rays trade of inferior players JS or MG, these 2 alone are clearly not nearly enough.

Very light for Price.

07 Dec 2013 02:15:45
Yankees-Tigers trade
Yankees get: Max Scherzer
Tigers get: Brett Gardner, Dellin Betances, JR Murphy, PTBNL

release Ichiro

Yankees Lineup (*=Free agent signing):
1. Jacoby Ellsbury, CF
2. Derek Jeter, SS
3. Mark Teixeira, 1B
4. *Omar Infante (3 years/$22.5 million)
5. Brian McCann, C
6. Alfonso Soriano, LF
7. *Shin-Soo Choo, RF (2 years/$16 million)
8. *Raul Ibanez, DH (1 year/$5 million)
9. Kelly Johnson, 3B

Roation:
1. Max Scherzer
2. CC Sabathia
3. Hiroki Kuroda
4. *Ubaldo Jimenez (2 years/$14 million)
5. Ivan Nova

Why would they get Choo now that they have Beltran

Choo will probably sign for about 9 times as much money. And if the Yankees keep spending at this rate, they'll have no picks in the early rounds of this year's deep draft.

Where is Beltran

This is nothing but a dream for Yankee fans. There is no way the Tigers trade Scherzer for that deal.

If that happened switch infante with choo

Choo is going to make more than 8 million a year. They aren't going to sign him now that they have Beltran.

You guys do realize I posted this before Beltran was signed?

07 Dec 2013 00:29:03
Indians get: Rafael Montero, Brandon Nimmo, and Domingo Taipa

Mets get: Asdrubal Cabrera

Mets then sign Bronson Arroyo to fill out the rotation

Mets would be giving up way to much

Mets giving up to much for a rental

A-Rod is suspended and they resigned Kuroda. Also, Toronto doesn't have much pitching depth

Sorry, but these are terrible.

LongtimeBaseballFan

Dickey would be lit up in New York. Burhele would be a good fit. Yankees aren't going to trade Sanchez, yes they have McCann, but he can/probably would become a DH in a few years. Ian Clarkin was just drafted and cannot be traded. Ramirez and Campos aren't going to be traded either.

Both bad for the Yankees

Sanchez and Pineda

07 Dec 2013 00:13:49
THE TIGERS DO ONE MORE BLOCKBUSTER TRADE

IT WOULD INVOLVE 4 TEAMS (INCLUDING THE TIGERS) AND INVOLVE 15 TOTAL PLAYERS

DET - TB - CIN - MIL

- TIGERS GETS:
SP D. PRICE (TB)
SP J. HELLWEG + 3B A. RAMIREZ + $11. 0 M (MIL)
OF B. HAMILTON (CIN)

- RAYS GETS:
SP Y. GALLARDO + $7. 5 M (MIL)
2B B. PHILLIPS + $30. 0 M (CIN)
SP R. PORCELLO + OF JACKSON (DET)

- BREWERS GETS:
SP H. BAILEY (CIN)

2B T. BECKHAM (TB)

- REDS GETS:
SP M. SCHERZER (DET)
2B S. GENNETT (CIN)
OF D. JENNINGS (TB)

(MONEY TO OTHER TEAMS EXPLANATION)

- $11. 0 M FROM MIL TO DET
the brewers will pay $11. 0 million of $16. 0 million to the tigers which will give the tigers $5. 0 million to pay Ramirez and would pay the whole mutual option of $4. 0 million if excercised in 2015 and the brewers would save $5. 0 to $9. 0 million

- $7. 5 M FROM MIL TO TB
the brewers will pay $7.5 million of $11.5 million owed to Gallardo in 2014 but would be paying all of the club option of $13. 0 million in 2015 if its excercised

- $30. 0 M FROM CIN TO TB
the reds owe a total of $50. 0 million to Phillips over the next 4 years which goes from $11. 0 M to $12. 0 M to $13. 0 M to $14. 0 M over the next 4 years and the reds would pay $7.5 million every year which would have the rays pay $3. 5 M to $4. 5 M to $5. 5 M to $6. 5 M of the remaining contract which won't hurt the rays at all by paying it this way and saves the reds $20. 0 million

so in all, the reds save $20. 0 million and the brewers $18.5 million
==============================
TIGERS EXTEND CABRERA AFTER SAVING MONEY

2015: $27. 0 M
2016: $32. 0 M
2017: $27. 0 M
2018: $22. 0 M

miggy is owed $22. 0 million each of the next 2 years and then that would be erased so this deal can be used instead and Cabrera would be 35 by the end of the deal and then could be resigned to a 4 year deal for 2019 to 2022 seasons
THEY SHOULD EXTEND MIGGY THIS OFFSEASON AND THEN WITH PRICE COMING ON, THEY WOULD GO THRU ARBITRATION FOR 2014 AND THEN EXTEND HIM AFTER THIS NEXT OFFSEASON AT THAT TIME WHEN A FEW CONTRACTS COME OFF THE BOOKS (HUNTER, MARTINEZ)

Any four team trade is unbelievable.

LongtimeBaseballFan

No way the reds give up Phillips Hamilton and Bailey in any trade. Hamilton is too good of a prospect. Even if they did a trade that gave Phillips away then they move Hamilton back to infield (original position) and they still save money.

Phillips trade Hamilton and Bailey give a contact!

Shields isn't avaliable hence they lost myers to get him. if I was the mets i'd try to trade for hardy or asdrubal cabrera and sign corey hart to play 1st, trade duda davis

Love it :::::::::))))))))))

You have two lf. Add murph to the packege for mejia or familia

Yes, but I see no reason why mets or royals would want to do this. royals just got him and mets don't have a big time need for starting pitching. rather mets should assemble this type of package for an outfielder or shortstop.

Mets are far away from being over 500, Drew wouldn't bring them any closer. Shields isn't availabe.

Mets are going to be a wild card team this year

06 Dec 2013 19:42:16

yankees lineup after cano:
Sign Infante
Sign Tanaka
(already resigned kuroda)
1. Gardner LF
2. Jeter SS
3. Ellsbury CF
4. Teixeira 1B
5. McCann C
6. Soriano DH
7. Omar Infante 2B
8. Kelly Johnson 3B
9. Ichiro Suzuki RF

1. Masahiro Tanaka
2. C. C. Sabathia
3. Hiroki Kuroda
4. Ivan Nova
5. Michael Pineda

That rotation is a question mark, but it is probably the best NYY can do. Sabathia was awful last year, Kuroda hit a wall, Tanaka and Nova are far from proven, and Pineda has not pitched in the mlb for 2 years

Tanaka is staying in Japan. Yanks will have to turn their sights to Garza, Arroyo, or someone else.

LongtimeBaseballFan

I think the Yankees should try to trade for cliff lee. He is a great pitcher still and it would help their rotation.

But lee has a terrible contact

Phil's trying to trade paplebon. Maybe him and Lee to Yankees. They would have to give them Gardner but then the can sign Choo

That's true but if the Phil's pay a good amount of it it would be worth it to me.

Or barry zito??

Well its unknown if Tanaka will be posted because of this new system. But people think his team is bluffing. If the Yankees wanted Lee, the Phillies would have to eat a lot of his contract. and just no to Zito.

Think Yankees simply don't have the farm to get Lee, so I think you can count that out.

Yankees are strong in farm

Well, they really don't have strong upper level farm. The lower ranks of it is strong, but AA and AAA aren't really.

06 Dec 2013 16:29:51
Mariners sign Robinson Cano to 10 year/240 M dollars.

Huge overpay by the Mariners and Cano will grow tired of the Mariners losing ways and want out after 2 years ala Cliff Lee.

Mariners need players! Cano can play. Now, get FA Rajaii Davis, FA Colon, trade Franklin/Wilhemson to Dodgers for VanSlyke and Eithier plus cash Bring up Romero and get a hitter for DH (Butler) add 1 bullpen guy Balfor, and backup catcher (doumit) We are then competitive.

Cano deal means Price is next.

I just want to applaud the Yankees for not over doing it with Cano. 10 years was just to much for a 31 year old. If he were 26, I would've given him a 10 year deal. Its about time they didn't oblige to one of their own. they have learned from their mistakes.

06 Dec 2013 13:53:30
Yankees sign Robinson Cano, Mashiro Tanaka
NYY Gets: Brett Anderson
A's Get: Slade Heathscott, Nick Turely, JR Murphy

Brett Gardner, 7
Jacolby Elsberry, 8
Robinson Cano, 4
Mark Texeira, 3
Brian McCann, 2
Alfanso Soriano, DH
Derek Jeter, 6
Ichiro Suzuki, 9
Kelly Johnson, 5

CC Sabathia
Mashiro Tanaka
Ivan Nova
Michael Pineda
David Phelps

So you trade for Andersen and then don't even put him in the rotation?

What is your rationale for batting Gardner ahead of Ellsbury?

Why is Jeter at 3rd?

Canos gone

Jeter isn't at third. 6 = SS. Always has.

Jeter shouldn't be playing short. Not enough range to handle the position. He'll be Dhing.

See if Cano will waive the no trade clause.

06 Dec 2013 12:21:38
3-team trade: Pit-Cin-LAA

Pirates get Mark Trumbo
Reds get Starling Marte
Angels get Homer Bailey

There would probably have to be some minor league players added in, but I think it gives each teams what they need

I think the deal works for each team, but I am not sure the Pirates would make the deal, nor the Reds.

Absolutely not. 1) the pirats aren't going to trade Marte 2) Even if they were considering it, they wouldn't trade him to the division rival Reds.

Finally, a prosposal that makes sense! This addresses the needs of each team.

The Bucs get the right handed power bat they have been looking for and allows them to play Tabata/Snyder in RF until Polanco is ready.

The Reds also get a right-handed bat who can play CF in 2014 and move to LF beyond that.

The Angels get a quality young starter who, with their deep pockets, they can afford to keep. He would slot at #3 behind Weaver and Wilson.

I do think there would have to be prospects involved in the deal, especially to the Pirates, as they are giving up a young and controllable player in Marte. The Reds could include 1B Neftali Soto or other prospect.

Not a chance PIT trades Marte. Odd men out in the OF are Tabata and Snider if Pit even makes a trade.

Opens up polanco

Trade puig and ethier 1/2 of conact for cespedis

Even better:

LAD trades Puig and 1/2 of Ethier to MIA for 1/2 of Stanton and 1/3 of Fernandez.

Do we split them lengthwise? Who decides which piece each team gets?

SEA: SP Price, OF Joyce, C Lobaton

TB: SP Walker, 2B Franklin, 1B Smoak, SP Sanchez, OF Guerrero

Take out Lobaton and Joyce.

Almost 100% correct.

TB: SP Walker, 2B Franklin, 1B Smoak, C Marlette, OF Guerrero.

Lobaton is going to SEA. Rays won't keep him now.

They have to get rid of Lobaton since they have Hannigan and Molina

Seattle will not trade walker for a guy who wants to test the market!&

According to reports, the teams most likely to trade for Price are the Mariners, Pirates, Rangers, Dodgers, and Diamondbacks.

Here are packages that would fall in line with what the Rays would ask for:

Mariners: SP Walker, INF Franklin, SP Sanchez, OF Guererro

Pirates: OF Polanco, SP Glasnow, SS Hanson, SP Heredia

Rangers: SP Perez, 2B Odor, C Alfaro, SP Jackson

Dodgers: SS Seager, OF Pederson, SP Lee, SP Urias

Diamondbacks: SP Bradley, 3B Davidson, C Trahan, SP Stites

Of those trades the Rays (Price Joyce Lobaton) would only consider the Mariners:
Walker
Franklin
Smoak
Guererro
Marlette

I disagree. I think if the Dodgers made that offer, the Rays would think hard on it.

If I were the Pirates, I would not trade all those pieces for one pitcher.

Pirates aren't going make a trade for a guy that gets 15 mil a year. They are going sign mid level guy for a 1 year deal and AJ going sign in june or july for like 5 mil.

Dbacks not trading bradley for anyone

You just listed the 4 best Players in the Dodgers Farm system. they would never trade all that for Price. I agree to send Lee and Pederson and maybe one or two bottom tier prospects. but you cannot unload all those guys for Him. especially being that the Dodgers are in need of a 3b (Seager has been playing in the minors) Hoping they don't resign Uribe more than one year. with all of this producing players in the lineup. why not get seager in at 3b now?

Trade puig for price
Great trade win win

Puig is not nearly enough for Price.

4-RF Dominic Brown
5-DH Kendrys Morales
6-LF Curtis Granderson
7-1B Justin Smoak

9-SS Nick Franklin

Rotation
1-RHP Felix Hernandez
2-RHP Ubaldo Jimenez
3-RHP Hisashi Iwakuma
4-LHP James Paxton
5-RHP Taijuan Walker

The mariners would be stupid to trade walker to Tampa Bay for Price. We can have 6 good years with Walker for way cheaper, or two great years with Price and take the chance of him leaving.

Granderson wants 4. if all their offering is 3 hell go to the mets in ny where preferes to stay

You would be just as stupid to trade Miller, Pike and Diaz for Brown.

I don't understand why people don't get this, Brown isn't very valuable. He had a fluke month and even then still only posted an average WAR around 2 for the year.

I wouldn't trade Miller straight up for Brown and I'm not a Mariners fan.

Abe Almonte is not an everyday player

Cano to the Mariners just simply won't happen. His numbers would drop, he would become irrelevant like so many others out west.

If you're not giving Granderson the years he wants, you may have to up the ante a little bit.

And while he didn't have a great year, if you're going to put Ackley on the bench, you might as well put up another trade for a decent starter so that Jimenez isn't your #2 starter because that guy is erratic as hell.

Every Mariner fan knows that Walker is at least twice as good as Price.

Walker isn't proven yet. Yea he's had a couple of starts in the majors, but that doesn't prove anything to me.

St Louis gets C- Swihart Boston gets LHP-Freeman St Louis has no one behind Molina/Cruz. Boston has Breslow and Miller in the pen both FA after this year

I don't think the Sox will give up their potential future starting catcher for a reliever.

Swihart would be blocked by Molina then
