Mariners & Rays & Indians working on trade

19braves77 · Jul 26, 2009

This one has a little bit of legs:

Seattle would acquire Kazmir from the Rays. The Rays would then receive Cliff Lee from the Indians and Cleveland would get Brandon Morrow, Reid Brignac, and Jeff Clement to Cleveland to complete the trade.

Pretty crazy. I'd like to see it.

What would Cleveland do with Jeff Clement? I could only see this move if they plan on dealing Vmart since they have Shoppach and C. Santana.

Why would Seattle do this?

thefasterblade · Jul 27, 2009

I just want to see Lee on the Rays.

This deal makes no sense for the Indians.

I guess it could make sense if Shoppach is not re-signed after the season. His contract is up and he's arbitration eligible in a market where the economy is really hurting. This would give them Clement as a 2nd option at catcher in 2010 until Santana's ready in 2011. Regardless, I'm not gonna like this deal should it happen.

Good for the M's imo if they can re-sign bedard and washburn

Pretty sure the Indians want more pitching in return than that. The Rays are apparently trying to get Texas involved as the 3rd team, where they would get Kazmir, the Rays would get Lee, and the Indians would get Wade Davis and one or more of the Rangers young pitching prospects not named Holland and Feliz.

Now this makes more sense to me. Starting pitching has got to be their return on either Lee or Martinez. It's clearly their weakest area.

The M's don't want Bedard back, unfortunately he's injured, so his stock is mighty low right now. Washburn is at his peak value, so he'd likely get a hefty contract, so he'll hopefully get traded while his stock is high.

this makes no sense for seatle.

I don't like it either from the Indians side.It would have to include more pitching coming to us.But with regrime,i wouldn't be surprised.
