San Francisco sends Dan Runzler and Sergio Romo to the Fish for Dan Uggla.

Never going to happen.

How do you know? Do you work in the Giants front office? Do you have first hand knowledge of conversations within the organization?

Oh, you don't know any of that? You're just some ********* kid on a baseball card message board?

Yeah. Shut up

Why isn't anyone talking about the Tigers?

They were the first one linked and they need serious help at 2nd.

Marlins are looking for relievers and the Tigers could trade Weinhardt, Schlereth, Perry, Villareal, Oliver (not all of them though ;) )

No....

haha....

Seriously though, if the Marlins and Giants were to work a trade out for Uggla it would have been last year. I don't see a deal happening between the two clubs.

Mudcatsfan throws self out window for loss of will to live.


Seriously though, if he's not cool with 4 years and 48 million we DO have to trade him.

Jon Sanchez is a great matching piece in that San Fran could live without him, and the Gigantes need bats.

The point about Detroit having excellent relievers available is also a good one, as those are the type of matching pieces the Marlins need.

And since it would be great timing ( with Andrew Miller freshly traded away) for Dave Dombrowski to revisit the scene where he 'liberated' a future hall of famer for Miller and Maybin.

Someone has anger problems...why would the Giants trade their future 1B for Uggla? Belt is a lot more athletic and might be able to put up Uggla numbers while playing solid 1B/OF plus he is much faster.

I would like to see the Tigers get Uggla, he is a much better option than Sizemore/Rhymes/Santiago at second.

IMO, it would take a lower starter like Sanchez and high prospect like Wheeler to get him. If I was SF, I would hate to trade Sanchez but Uggla is SO good...

Again, I don't think Sanchez is a lower starter. Look at his numbers, he'd be a lot of teams ace and without all of his walks he's on the same level as Cain and Lincecum. He lead the league in BA against and hits per 9 innings plus he averaged over a strikeout an inning with over 200 K's this season. He's a number 1 or 2 on most staffs and Uggla has been inconsistant at times. After watching this post season I would rather have the top teir pitcher instead of the heavy hitting 2B.

He's had a couple of good years. His range isn't that great.

Giving Sanchez and Wheeler would be WAYYYYYYYY too much.

But I would still love to have him in Detroit, but giving Turner for him would be ridiculous.

The only way giving up Sanchez and anyone else is to much is if a extension cant be worked out with Uggla for longer then just next year. I would give up someone who "could hit 25-30 homers" for someone that is doing it.. especially at 2nd base. No point in over valuing your prospects... when you can get a legit hitter like Uggla.
