Toronto Trades
Dominguez
Oakland Trades
Valencia
Jays need that Vet that can spell Donaldson or Smoak.
Valencia is better as a roll player and Dominguez needs to play everyday.
This is a BB type of Trade and helps both Teams.

The Jays DFA'd Valencia last year. There not going to go and get him back. Also he is worth more than Dominguez.

Texas Trades
Chirinos
Rua
Toronto Trades
DNavarro
Tolleson
This is a Trade Proposal I would do when Saunders and Izturis get off the DL then send Pompey and one of Hendriks, Redmond or Hynes back to AAA.
DNavarro deserves to be a #1 Catcher and Chirinos is better suited as a backup, Tolleson gives Texas a Vet backup on the Infield and can play 2b, SS, or 3b, Rua platoons with Saunders and can Play Centre if needed as well, and Pillar can Play everyday in Centre which I believe is a smart move as he can flatout hit.
Thoughts?

Navarro isn't much of an upgrade over Chirinos. and I'm not really sure Texas needs an upgrade over Chirinos. He had a 2.4 WAR last year and is a solid defensive catcher.
2.) Why would Texas do that? Chirinos is better than Navarro, and has more team control.
3.) Why would they send Pompey down? Has the potential to challenge for ROY

Phillies Trade
Paplebon
Blue Jays Trade
DNavarro
TRedmond
DJ Davis
3 for 1 Trade that clears $7,475.000 off this Years Salary and $13,000.000 next Season for Philly, DJ Davis is the future Centrefielder for Philadelphia and that's what they are looking for in there rebuild.
Jays get there Closer without giving away the farm just Salary which you will have to shellout if you want a true Closer for the 9th inning.
Thoughts?

So a high quality reliever for a backup catcher they don't need, a mediocre reliever and a "Centerfielder of the Future" who has hit a career .228 in 3 years in the minors.
Based on the way you spelled Centerfielder, it's obvious you're a Blue Jays fan. although, based on these moronic trades, it was already evident.
The Phillies saw what the Braves just got for Kimbrel. they certainly won't settle for the remnants at the bottom of a trash can.
2.) So Paplebon at his age and declining as a Top Closer is in the same class as Kimbrel now.
It doesn't matter what I think or anyone else on here thinks, MLB is a business and winning is the obvious choice for keeping your business in a profit, right now Paplebon isn't going to sell or decline any "business" for Philly and he is going to cost $26,000.000 for the next 2yrs, I agree DNavarro, Redmond and DJ Davis even together are not worth Paplebon, my point is this is a financial Trade with the possibility that DJ Davis becomes a MLB Player in the future, so some people need to understand not all Trades that happen are not based on Talent, there is the business side to MLB

DJ Davis will not become a future CF. He's a fringe 25-roster man. and that's a stretch. If he's hitting .228 with minor league pitching, what suggests he'll get it together in the majors?
And even in the sense of financial trades, players still have value.
If I have two lamborghinis I have to get rid of them, I'm not going to trade them for a couple ham sandwiches. I could probably get a nice Pontiac Solstice or something. Shed payroll AND gain something strong in return.
If it was just about shedding payroll, the Phillies would have traded Hamels long ago.
4.) Cole Hamels will be Traded for less his value to, its about shedding payroll more then you believe or want to believe, and sorry you don't Trade a 26yr old Kimbel for that package either unless its about salary.
Lets just wait and see when Philly Trades Paplebon as well as Hamel and maybe orthers and what Philly gets in return.
5.) Closers are vastly overrated.
And, if the Braves are rebuilding, why spend that much on a closer anyway?
The Braves made out like bandits on this trade, but the Padres did well too, since they want to contend now.

Pinball,
Hamels might not get the value the Phillies are expecting. and neither will Papelbon. but you're thinking the Blue Jays will get a steak for a snack-pack in a trade. it's not happening.

Philadelphia Trades
Paplebon
Toronto Trades
DNavarro
TRedmond
Thoughts?

Papelbon has significantly more value than that.
2.) Paplebon has more Trade Value?
So did Kimbrel and Upton so we all thought.
Philly wants to dump Paplebon and DNavarro isn't a bad Catcher at all and Redmond is there 5th Starter.
Any other Team would want Philly to take Salary, not in this deal

No. you're right Pinball.
Everyone is going to give up a guy like Papelbon for a mediocre reliever and a catcher that no one seems to want. at all.
Cole Hamels will be Traded for less his value to, its about shedding payroll more then you believe or want to believe, and sorry you don't Trade a 26yr old Kimbel for that package either unless its about salary.
