Gio Gonzalez: Now a Washington Natinal

[dim]

Glad that was cleared up.

[Namaste]

Good work boys

If Latos and Gio are returning this type of value, why wouldn't the Mariners just trade Felix for a team's entire farm system?

[jOOj]

Nobody in the other farm system would be as good as Felix.

AJ Cole and Derek Norris are 2 of the names that Oakland wants

Nothing on the Marlins making a run at him?

Gio Gonzalez made it clear that his preference would be to be traded to his home of Miami...but wants to go somewhere where he's wanted XM89

Too bad he isn't a free agent

[Big Z]

Oakland moving closer to a Gio Gonzalez trade, with the bidding down to two teams -- Washington is one, perhaps MIA or BOS the other.

Sounds like it's Boston.

@Buster_ESPN: Gordon Edes is reporting Red Sox very much involved on Gio Gonzalez, so it may be OAK now choosing between BOS and WASH offers.

--------------------
Heyman confirming the other team as the Red Sox. He thinks the Nats are the favorite, though.

@JonHeymanCBS: looks like it'll be down to nats & redsox for gio. nats offered 4 prized prospects for greinke last yr. call them favorite

Ya its Washington and Boston. Too bad we don't have a ML ready Catcher who can hit.

If we did we might be in the running for him

Washington deal is Norris,Peacock and/or Cole,plus more(4 or 5 prospects total)

Boston deal is Lavarnway,Ranaudo and pretty much want Oakland wants

I guess Norris or Lavarnway would be going the other way then...

[tjfla]

Ya each offer includes a C and a SP.

Other than that no clue-from what I heard is not alot of names are off limits.


If Skipworth was worth anything,we prolly could have sent them a Skip/Hand package for him

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Whoa...

@Ken_Rosenthal: Sources: #RedSox trying to get G. Gonzalez, Bailey in "monster" deal. #Rangers, #Rays also on Bailey. #Nationals team to beat on Gio. #MLB

I'm curious to see what all would be in that package going to Oakland.

No offense but, if we called Oakland and offered them Skipworth and Hand for Gio, all we'd hear is them laughing their asses off before hanging up the phone.

[tjfla]

O I agree- I meant IF Skipworth lived up to his potential. I could see them taking a Skip,Coghlan,Hand and Top 10 prospect for him. Instead like u said we would get hung up on before we could finish SKip lol


The feeling is Oakland wants to trade Gio to Washington(keep him out of the AL) and Bailey to Boston however Boston has started to mention Will Middlebrooks so they could get both
