2013 Offseason Player Transaction Thread

[Hambombs]

I think it might be more of a matter if are the braves willing to get fleeced in order to acquire Upton?

I think towers will take a lesser offer like he always does

He'll cut his nose off to spite his face.

Dbacks have what 6-8 starters already?

3 for sure
Miley
Kennedy
Cahill

2 possibilities
Corbin
Skaggs

2 injury prone/injured
McCarthy
Hudson

So ask yourself, would you be happy if 2 of your starters were unproven/health risks?

I think they know they might get 2 solid seasons out of those last 4 guys

And you can never have enough pitching

I still ask why don't we dangle Olt to Atlanta for young pitching. They need a 3b in a bad way.

Not if they get Upton, they'll just move Prado to 3B

Although, I'd dangle Olt in a potential 3 way deal and see if we get anything worthwhile offered

Seemed to work for the Indians

Tru. Also i think rangers need to include sardines in a trade to get it done i heard. I dont know why they would hold on to him he has no place here.

I'd have no problems with including both in a potential 3 way deal as long as we got something of value in return, even if it was young pitching that might not help us until next year

I'd have no problem with Profar playing 3B if Beltre went down for a time

This said, I'm not saying just give them away

Just saying what if JD jumped in the middle and fucked everything up for towers.

Profar is the future SS here most likely after andrus leaves.

A lot of things I've read about Sardinas has him at 2B long-term, even then we have Kinsler and potentially Odor long-term

 

[Hambombs]

1 more year till they decide what they fo with profar and andrus.

They could end up trading elvis this year for the right price.

I say for sure if we start off the season slow, which is a possibility, and go full re-boot for 2014

Yeah, its sad that rangers could possibly be not in it this year.

I'll get over it as long as the moves we make are in the interest of long term success

 

[romeo212000]

Conversely it's quite possible they could catch fire and make a run.

Rangers org. thinks Sardinas is primed for a break out year.... thus increasing his value.
