2013 Offseason Player Transaction Thread

Could mean Holland is involved... (since the Royals want Holland).

As for Josh, I dont think its an either/or scenario. Could potentially have both in the outfield.

Gentry/Martin in CF
Elvis @ SS
Upton in RF
Beltre 3B
Hamilton LF
Kinsler 1B? (I hear its being thrown around)
Young/Murphy/etc DH
Soto/someone else C
Profar 2B

Yes please!



I do believe its Josh or Greinke though.....

agreed

Hold on to your hard guys. Sounds like things are about to come down the pipeline.

 

[romeo212000]

Hamilton talks are on "hold". Maybe until a couple of monter deals can get worked out.

yes

If Tampa gets involved I would hope we'd be the ones getting shields.

Yeah, for us to be giving up Holland we need a SP to come back. All of that stuff we give up (Olt and Elvis) better net Shields and Upton.

 

[fordman84]

the multi-team deal would have us trading Olt, Martin Perez, Cruz, Holland & 1+ second level prospects

That is ok as long as we are getting a good SP back and then sign Grienke

 

[fordman84]

That would be awesome.

Darvish
Greinke
Shields
Harrison
Ogando

Holy hell! We'd be favorites for sure!

Plus Lewis coming back late in the season to spell someone for rest, or in case of injury.

Yup. I'm thinking they told him "let us get a trade worked out and then we will get you your contract".

Still thinking 4 years $110M with 5th team option

like the idea of a 4 year with a vested option 5th

i had forgotten about Lewis

yeah, maybe vesting option instead of team. Makes it more palatable to Josh.

my thought exactly

It happens.


I just HOPE beyond all hope that we don't get RADickey. I just don't think he would make it here. I know he had a great year, but don't trust a pitcher that throws a ball that the best pitcher to ever throw it said he couldn't control.

 

[fordman84]

Many combinations discussed by 3/4 teams but word is 1 had upton going to tex, asdrubal to AZ and martin perez plus to cle

Heyman's tweet just now

 

[scotsman1948]

It happens.

don't want anything to do with Dickey.

 

[fordman84]

There is no way we get Upton without giving up either of Elvis, Profar, or Olt. I'd assume in Heymans rumor AZ would also get Olt from us. that would solidify their left side of the IF for a couple of years at least. If asking someone to give up the face and future of their team, they better get at least 2 MLB ready studs.

 

[bone3421]

well this could be one hell of a day............hope you guys are right

shields,upton and josh.....fuck yes if it happens

fine with giving up whoever it takes

what i heard was Arizona gets Cabrera (Cleve) + 1 second level prospect (Tex), Cleveland gets Olt & Martin Perez and Texas gets Upton

 

[fordman84]

Keppinger off the market to ChiSox. Thin out the 3B ranks please!

Would you rather shields+upton+josh or shields+upton+Grienke?
