2014 Offseason Plans Thread

That doesn't make much sense to me. Why would he put 10 teams on there if he would only decline it to a few cities? I think the TX heat might have had something to do with it.

That's a question only he can answer. He's obviously happy to be here now, and that's all that matters.

I suspect - after he has a cup of coffee - he'll be on board. What's your take?

SHE will!

 

[BLeslie59Rangers]

Will be interested to see what Cardinals do now - our bargaining position just got stronger because we don't need to move Andrus or Profar....make us a deal we can't refuse Cards!!! I would still be listening...

Just saw the alert too and knew you guys would all be here. Best of luck Ian ... I suppose Mitch is next. Fielder is definitely a power upgrade to elite status at 1b and it cleans up the roadblock in the middle IF.

If there was any question about JD's focus on making trades that matter (none of us here of course) well the local print media buffoons need to go eat their shirts.

Fuck it get, let's go all out...sign Cano and trade EA for Miller and Taveres.

/sarcasm but only sorta

Yeah, MLB Trade was making a comment about moving Profar out and going after Cano. Crazy I know. But could you imagine having Fielder, Beltre and Cano in your lineup? And of course Napoli will probably not be coming here.

Problem is, you better have Cano ask but sown up or that will kill you when you go looking for a MIF to replace whichever of those two you traded.

Wow what a move, thats landing a big bat for sure!

Considering Fielders contract, that 10 team notrade list was real close to a full no trade clause, He just wanted his options open.

 

[romeo212000]

Man, is this the perfect example of a jd ninja deal or what?

Not crazy at all, other than blowing our budget....but what an awesome lineup we would have!!!

Way to go JD, keep it going. Still would like to see McCann here also.

 

[Windingmywatch]

I hope it's Choo. I've never been a fan of starting the year with Gentry, Martin, and Rios as the starting OFers. I doubt JD is done.

And starting Murphy in LF wasn't a very good idea either.

And I'm the one drinking too much scotch?

But ya know what, we'd do this in a minute, and the Cards would laugh out loud. IMO, they wouldn't trade either one of these guys straight up for Profar.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Interesting tweets: Jerry Crasnick - trade may have been predicated partly upon concerns of Cabrera being able to play 3rd. Jon Heyman - With Fielder as protection Braun and Cabrera won a combined 3 MVP titles.

Adam Rosales says what's up.

Or, Texas would have to really believe that Odor could be ready in 15

Not really interested in having that black hole in our lineup every day.

Well, I guess it's as good as dead now

If we could square up Choo, I'd happy calling it a day, if we could also get Cruz, awesome

Choo

Rios/Beltre/Fielder
