General FA: Beinfest Says Rotation Set

[MiamiHomer]

I'm looking at it as who are we looking to trade for rather than give away. Gio Gonzalez has obviously been someone that the Marlins have been rumored to be interested in.

Gaby? Or would he stay as a bench bat with Pujols here?

That would be pretty sick.

Could also be Nolasco to free up money to get all these other guys.

[Big Z]

I think it's the Gio trade that's in the works.

[Valid]

MLB Network would say it's Hanley.

[Erick]

:D.

Is Will Carroll a reliable source?

He works for SI. Most gives out news about guys injuries and stuff like that but wouldn't surprise me if he knew some people that would be in the know.

Still don't think we have enough to get him. He's still making the minimum. Only reason A's would trade him is to stockpile a bunch of young, major league ready talent; something we really don't have.

He's not making the minimum.

He's not making the minimum.

MLBTR has him projected to make $3.6 million this upcoming season.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Sorry. I didn't realize he's entering his first year of arbitration. I still don't think we have enough to get him. The A's want to restock their farm system, we don't have much that is appealing and part of what we made the front office changes this offseason (and something that Beinfest said would be a priority this offseason) was to restock ours. I don't see how giving away what little we have to get Gio does that.

Unless the MLB network was right and we trade Hanley...

[The Hanram]

So Volstad for Gio? Straight up! Right, Mibs?

[HUGG]

I fully agree with mibs on the Gio deal. It's a pipedream.

[MiamiHomer]

I fully agree with mibs on the Gio deal. It's a pipedream.

LoMo and Dominguez seem right up Oakland's alley. I forgot who said it but someone on MLB Network said that a scout told him they believe LoMo could be a left side of the plate Ryan Braun.

[HUGG]

I highly doubt they trade Morrison.
