If they are going to start trading guys minus well trade Manny, Jones, and Castillo. This team isn't going to compete next year with out 4 new starting pitchers.
I still am thinking we should sell, even if we're only 4 or 5 games out. I think this year is more of a sellers market and could probably get a good haul for some of our players and set us up for the next few seasons.Dan is busy sitting on his hands not making any trades.

Castillo and Britton for prospects. Done deal.
Yep, folks want to see Buck go as well, but I am not one of them. This is just the result of shitty FO leadership. Under MacPhail, this team was put in prime position to compete. He acquired Jones, Tillman, Hardy, Davis and several other key pieces. Who exactly has Dumpster Dan acquired to continue that success? Trumbo? Kim? Miley? Let Markakis walk when he could have still been a great leadoff hitter for us."The Rockies announced that they’ve acquired right-hander Pat Neshek from the Phillies in exchange for minor league infielder Jose Gomez and minor league right-handers J.D. Hammer and Alejandro Requena."
Because we can't use 3 minor leaguers. Dan continues to do nothing. Hopefully he is gone this offseason.
I would give oday or brach to me britton is a closer we need to lock up . if we get a bedard deal ok lets trade . as far as untouchable britton ,mancini , schoop , manny , gausman and bundy . in minors mullins , scott , sisco , mountcastle and hays . last I looked bridwell is doing well in the majors along with. drake davies and edrod . we have good arms in the minors to replace any bp arms except britton . btw Harvey is back pitching had his second outing in a week . wright went 3 in bb 5 k at aaaDan is busy sitting on his hands not making any trades.

From what it's sounding like now, probably the two teams that we'd be having dialog's with are the Dodgers and Astros for Britton. I just hope we don't make a trade just to make a trade (like the Bigbie for Byrnes trade over 10 years ago)."The Rockies announced that they’ve acquired right-hander Pat Neshek from the Phillies in exchange for minor league infielder Jose Gomez and minor league right-handers J.D.

Completely agree with the bold part. MacPhail made a huge impact his first offseason as the GM that would shape this franchise for years to come. All Dumpster Diving Dan does is add pieces here and there, tries to load the team with rule V guys and trade away international signing slots (which baffles me) for minor leaguers.Yep, folks want to see Buck go as well, but I am not one of them.

The main guys I'd keep would be Mancini, Bundy and Sisco. I'd like that to be our main nucleus for years to come. As far as anyone else, I'd definitely listen if something completely overwhelmed me.I would give oday or brach to me britton is a closer we need to lock up . if we get a bedard deal ok lets trade . as far as untouchable britton ,mancini , schoop , manny , gausman and bundy . in minors mullins , scott , sisco , mountcastle and hays . last I looked bridwell is doing well in the majors along with. drake davies and edrod . we have good arms in the minors to replace any bp arms except britton . btw Harvey is back pitching had his second outing in a week . wright went 3 in bb 5 k at aaa
See, I'm at the opposite end. I felt that they should have traded him in the offseason. His value was at its ceiling, and they could have gotten 3-4 solid/top prospects for a replaceable closer. Especially with Brach, Givens and now Castro, who could take his place. Just par to the course for Dumpster Dan...I would give oday or brach to me britton is a closer we need to lock up . if we get a bedard deal ok lets trade . as far as untouchable britton ,mancini , schoop , manny , gausman and bundy . in minors mullins , scott , sisco , mountcastle and hays . last I looked bridwell is doing well in the majors along with. drake davies and edrod . we have good arms in the minors to replace any bp arms except britton . btw Harvey is back pitching had his second outing in a week . wright went 3 in bb 5 k at aaa
Jeremy Hellickson is not going to be the guy that puts this team in the wild card. You're right, for a guy like Hellickson, we should be dumping guys on the main roster that are hardly being used like Kim or some minor league guy that's unlikely to go anywhere to start with.WTF. Why are you buying Dan? Giving up a minor league pitcher for Hellickson. WTF.
He's a free agent st the end of the year. You should be selling Kim smith and castillo
seems rumors are the major player is kim
Dumpster Dan is killing this team! No way is Hellickson worth that much! I still think this guy is holding a grudge for not letting him go to Toronto a couple of years ago.
Looks like it was indeed Kim that was the major leaguer that was shipped out.
