I think only a hand full of teams can pull off a Strasburg trade cubs and redsox and two of the handful with the best group of young players and prospects along with most likely looking to make a splash and fill a need. I think sox would have to give up Marrero one of the lefties (owens,johnson,rodriguez) Betts to get a deal do e right now. ItIt's a high price to pay. I do think it's possible the return does not include Betts/bogaerts/one of the lefties/swihart. But it would result in giviving up more prospects overall that is more of a long shot. Cubs need to give up baez at least if they want him and I'm sure they move baez in a deal for strasburg if they can. But who else they give up would be a good question. I no bryant ain't going no were. Russell is doubtful. Castro could be in a deal but not with baez. Solar isn't a fit. AlmorAlmora is t anuff and my be to much packaged with baez but likely they want both if they can't get Russell or bryant.
 
You were really losin steam by the end of that post b, Mike finish that off for ya? :lol: :lol:

AlmoraAlmora is t anuff has me so weak right now. :rofl: :rofl:
 
Strasburg is probably worth more out there on the market than Hamels. Think it'd be smart for the Cubs to pay up for him rather than wait for Price. I think he'd be worth Russell. There's not really a "hands off" kinda guy when it comes to Stras.

But then again, they have a lot of walk guys coming up and IDK how willing they'd be to give up one of the few guys they have control.

Give up Russell for a guy who's already had arm issues?

With all the guys that are going to be on the market (or potentially) on the market, I would rather just wait for one of them. Doesn't have to just be Price. Could be Hamels, Zimm, Cueto, Shark, Porcello, Latos, or anyone else that comes available from a team setting off a rebuild.

Theo's entire approach has been load up on "safer" talents and buy up vet pitching with fewer arm worries. Stras seems the exact opposite of that approach.

I could see Theo going after Zimm before I see him chasing Stras. Based on the last 3-4 years at least.
 
rather pay price than trade a top prospect for stras. not crazy about dealing a blue chipper for a guy that has a good chance at getting hurt.
 
1000

Strawberry's deferred compensation auctioned for $1.3M
ESPN.com

The Internal Revenue Service on Tuesday auctioned off the money owed to Darryl Strawberry from the New York Mets contract he signed in 1985.

A man, who did not want to be identified, agreed to pay $1.3 million to receive a check from the Mets of $8,891.82 a month for the next 18½ years. Assuming a realistic timeline for the court to approve the sale, the value of the deferred payments will equal close to $2 million.

Strawberry was forced to give a portion of the deferred money from the contract to his ex-wife, Charisse, as part of their divorce settlement in 2006, but the payments were never made. In 2010, Charisse filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection and, as part of the proceedings, asked for what was owed. But in September, a judge in the Northern District of Florida ruled that the annuity was the property of the IRS, not Charisse, because Darryl still had not settled his tax debt owed for 1989, 1990, 2003 and 2004.

The total value of the contract, which covered his 1985 through 1990 seasons, was $7.1 million, but nearly 40 percent of his $1.8 million team option in 1990 ($700,000) was deferred and put into an annuity with a 5.1 percent interest rate.

From 1987 to 1990, Strawberry failed to pay $542,572 in taxes, according to court documents. As of November 2013, Strawberry owed at least $80,000 from his tax liability from missed payments in 2003 and 2004.

The Mets famously bought out the final year of Bobby Bonilla's contract in January 2000 and deferred the $5.9 million deal into 25 payments of $1,193,248.20 that began in 2011 and end in 2035. By deferring, Bonilla turned the $5.9 million into $29.8 million after negotiating an 8 percent interest rate on the deferral.

The irony in the fact that the only move the O's will make this offseason involves getting a prospect back for DD is :lol:

*Jeff Hoffman is the name being thrown around...
 
Apparently Edward Rogers (son of deceased former owner of the blue jays Ted Rogers) is behind this.

**** MY LIFE.

Ted Rogers didn't even like baseball when he was alive, WTF is his son doing meddling in things?

I wouldn't give up a real prospect for BILLY GOD DANM BEANE. But were gunna do it for Dan Duquette??!


I hate everything and everyone.
