BIGGEST names to be traded before deadline?

[leatherman]

I hear the Mets are looking at Mike Bordick again.

If Adrian Gonzalez is traded, expect a huge deal to please the San Diego fans. He is the "native son", and huge with the Mexican community down there so trading him would have to be a landslide deal for the future.

For me, I see Boston making the deal, and I would see a guy like Lars Anderson involved, along with some other big names. Again, it will take a huge multi prospect deal to land Gonzalez, and I would highly doubt that it involved any players with MLB service time, and MLB money.

More in reference to your first post: Why do you think he'll be traded now? I know before you were pretty sure he was staying in SD, and I tended to agree. And I also see Boston as the probable landing spot because of their prospect talent level. I was just curious as to why you changed your mind.

Also, if it is Boston, I could see Lars as a part of it, but then lower prospects. Definitely not any of the Bowden-Buchholz-Bard trio.

My main shift was simply due to the difficultly in moving Peavy. At this point, the Padres will probably be forced to agree to a trade for a smaller package than initially desired simply due to Peavy's no-trade clause. Any team that trades for Peavy knows that he is holding the cards, and the Padres want his salary off of the books.

That said, if the Padres are 2 years away from competing (which is logical), they will probably be looking for high ceiling high-A to AA prospects to be ready within 2+ years. Gonzalez will clearly garner more interest and value than Peavy...so moving Peavy won't get them over the hump...but Gonzalez could certainly help reload that system.

I may not be right, but if I was Boston...I'd been in discussion for him.

Troy Patton, Zach Britton, Brandon Erbe, Billy Rowell, and Xavier Avery for AGonzo! GO!

Then trade Huff for a frontline RP that can stick around for 2-3 years.

In 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2014 (the lost to the stinkin' Reds in 2013) they win the WS!

What could the Indians get for Cliff Lee if they shopped him?I'm not in a hurry to move him,but would have to say i believe they could get some serious offers for him.

Peavy isn't going anywhere. He almost went to the W.Sox and declined. I think Victor Martinez is way more likely to go somewhere.

He turned down the deal because it was the wrong Chicago team.

I can see him ending up here on the right side of town, and would be
more than willing to sacrifice Vitters, Fox, etc. in order to make it happen.

 

[trevordchi]

I would love to see the Astros deal Tejada, Valverde, and Hawkins and pick up some nice High-A or AA prospects in return. I would even be open to them dealing Wandy Rodriguez. His value will never be higher.

Nick Johnson

I hope not!!!
As probably one of the few people who actively collect Nick Johnson. I hope he stays in Washington. I don't think I would want him to go to a larger market team with fans that would pay more for his cards. It was tough when he was with the Yankees to get some of his better cards. I am happy getting his cards cheaply.

Why?The guy is overrated and WILL get killed in Wrigley Field.

That package would be instantly declined by SD. With how much the Pads value AG, the package for Gonzo would need to start with one of Adam Jones, Tillman, or Matusz.

I HOPE Chris Davis is dealt for either some SP help or bullpen and a bat.

Re: BIGGEST names to be traded before line?

I still think Adam Dunn is going to end up in Boston.

I hope not! :?

Who would take Tejadas place? Our our relief pitchers? We barely have a five man rotation and can't afford to move pitchers.

We gotta rebuild but lets not field a minor league team in the meantime.

Gonzalez isn't going anywhere, people barely show up now and if he's traded I doubt anyone will go to games anymore. Besides, he has two years after this one on his contract left, for a grand total of about 6 mil. And the new owner has already talked about giving him a new contract.

i would love to see him in atlanta but doubt he moves. i do wish we could somehow pick up peavy and get a serious outfielder with a power bat.

 

[thefasterblade]

I see no reason these guys aren't dealt:

Erik Bedard
Matt Holliday
Nick Johnson
