aadams_22 3 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Newest rumor I heard on XM today is Jose Reyes for Johan Santana, opening up the option for A-Rod to the Mets Link to post Share on other sites
Buckeye Hughes 0 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 One of the guys on ESPN radio last night was saying the lack of quality in the free agent pool is going to lead to a whole lot of trades in the offseason.If the Mets get A Rod and Santana, that would be nasty.

jeff_536 3 Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 the espn guys on teh web site are saying the trade talk is as heavy as it's ever been at these meetings, all because there's no pitching available in free agency.I know the Jays would love to deal AJ Burnett's contract.

eYank 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I cannot see that happening.neither can IBut Im very happy the Yankees will not trade any of the young pitchingThose guys are the future of the Yanks for a long time to come and have a huge amount of potentialAs for who will play 3rd base....

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 the days of dealing many prospects for one established star are long gone. Ain't nobody giving two huge prospects for one star. The BoSox ain't giving Ellsbury and Bucholz or Lester for Cabrera. It's just ain't happening Link to post Share on other sites
PMJackson21 0 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I'd rather the Dodgers overpay for Arod, then trade Kemp, Loney/LaRoche, Billingsely/Kershaw for Cabrera. He probably will have to play 1b in a few years due to injury/conditioning issues, and he seemed to have some attitude problems as well. Kemp will be a beast, Loney seems like the real deal, and I'd hate to trade young pitching like Billingsely and Kershaw (highly touted lefty in minors). LaRoche didn't really impress me however, so if we could somehow package maybe him, Ethier, and some other prospects I guess I'd be ok with that.The Dodgers are close to a spring training contract with Chan Ho Park...infuritating, funny, and depressing all at the same time.

I heart him.Meh.I'd really be reluctant to trade Kemp in any scenario, I just think his upside is huge...I think Billingsley will only continue to get better and better as well...LaRoche could end up being good, but the only thing he proved last year is that he had a great grasp of the strike zone. Grady Little didn't want to upset his veterans though, so Nomar played way too much and LaRoche didn't really get a chance to prove himself. He hit at every level in the minors though, and he does come from good 'blood lines'. Out of our prospects/young players, I'd be most willing to move him, Ethier, Delwyn Young, Meloan, etc. I'd hate to see the Dodgers trade Kershaw, Kemp, Loney, and Billingsley. I shouldn't even have to include Martin in that list because Colletti (or is it Bernie Lomack?) couldn't be that stupid. Link to post Share on other sites
Vinnie_Terranova 5 Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I really hope the Cardinals can make some moves. They need to get younger, and they need pitching desperately. Get rid of Scott Rolen if at all possible, and Edmonds too. Link to post Share on other sites

Would need to use blue chip kids to get him. I think the Dodgers are in the best spot to get him with good young pitching, cf and 3b in their system.With Collettis record of piling up veterans, Id be surprised if they dont do a big prospects for star veteran deal.

Pitching is at such a premium, and this guy is THE BEST. Of course, you'd want to be able to work out an extension.... Link to post Share on other sites

Theres is no way the new GM of the Twins will have his first two moves being losing Hunter to free agency and trading Santana. If the Twins can't work out a new deal, I could see them trading him in July, but no way he gets traded in the off season. Link to post Share on other sites

If the Twins can't work out a new deal, I could see them trading him in July, but no way he gets traded in the off season.The return value is way bigger in the offseason than it is at the trading deadline. If you want a good return for Santana, you have to deal him now. What will play into the decision is the health of Liriano. If he's ready to rumble to start the year, they'll make on last push to win. If he's on the shelf for the first half of the year or starts the year pitching badly (Liriano) Santana gets moved. For a team that relies heavily on youth, they need to pick up at least one prospect for him. Letting him walk at the end of the year, offering arbitration and picking up a pick ain't gonna cut it.

FHgrad99 0 Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I've heard about the Yankees and Angels possibly being interested in Scott Rolen. I've also heard talk of a Rolen/Juan Pierre swap. As a Cardinals fan, I'm not liking that prospect.I've heard that the Cardinals might try to get AJ Burnett from the Blue Jays. They came close to signing him two years ago.
