2011 Trade Deadline Discussion

[MiamiHomer]

Wheeler for 2 months of Beltran...

WOW great get then for the Mets. I heard it was Brown and Culberson or Francisco Peguero
--------------------


I know LAA offered Izturis or Callaspo for Nunez and Frasor got dealt for Teahen so not as much as we thought

Frasor did not get traded for Teahen. Deal was basically Stewart and Frasor for Edwin Jackson. In fact Teahen brings negative value, pretty sure was just salary dump by White Sox

what the hell is Kenny Williams doing

[Miamarlin21]

Stewy is a great player and a really good guy.

I hate those kinds of tweets because they have likely done "background" work on almost every available player.

[DropkickAlex]

Would anyone trade a Yelich or James if it meant grabbing Ubaldo? I mean our farm is thin but I think I'd do it in a second.

[Miamarlin21]

I'd trade Yelich and maybe even James. The only reason why I don't want to trade the latter is because he's a lefty and we are quite thin on those at the moment.
--------------------
But we honestly don't have the prospects to deal for Jimenez.

They can have both. And more than that.

[Miamarlin21]

Beltran gone!

I love this time of the year.

[Ramp]

fm, you're a few hours late there

unless you mean that it's now official

which I will then say, yes

[Miamarlin21]

Official.

It makes sense on both sides. The Rays need a first baseman for the future and the Reds have Yonder Alonso who is attempting to play left. Yonder and catcher Yasmani Grandal would be a good starting point.
--------------------
Also, Rockies had a scout at the Reds Double-A team. Watched game one of the double header which had catcher Yasmani Grandal in it. Didn't stay around for the second game when Yas didn't play.

Why the hell would the Nats move Storen.
