If so, you can say bye-bye to Taijuan.

[elpablo21]

Unless he changed his mind on re-signing in Seattle, I wouldnt do it.

That's a steep price for an rental

 

[a55a5in11]

**** Zobrist, I want Longoria

 

[proshares]

Man, you're gonna have to give up eeeeeeeeeeeeeeverybody for Longoria his contract is probably the most friendly contract ever given to someone of his talent. He doesn't make $15 million until 2020 :x

 

[finnns2003]

Team has huge holes in the lineup and we're looking at acquiring the one strength this team has already.

 

[omega 8]

Price would make us all but unbeatable in a 7 game series.

Plus, imagine all the freshwater Jordan **** he'd have

Zorilla is a great addition because he's a legit stick and versatile.

I dont mind it

back end of the rotation is still iffy

Unless... Z has an embarrassing photo of TB's GM on him
Boom! Longoria for Jesus Montero, bag of balls, and a Rodney arrow

 

[a55a5in11]

Kemp said today he wants to be traded to team so he can be an every day player. Come on Z!! Bring a top 3 favorite player of mine here

 

[DsLee]

+1 for Kemp. One of my favorite current players too.

 

[651akathepaul]

He was in and out. Came just to say I saw him, but was a bit late and only saw 1 1/3

 

[booradley]

I like Kemp, but his injuries are a huge red flag. Zobrist would be nice, but I think the team will end up getting Byrd.

And we need to get rid of Smoak now. Dude needs a change of scenery if he's ever go to live up to potential.

 

[elpablo21]

Pax?

 

[a55a5in11]

Hope you took advantage of those $2 beers

 

[Sinner]

Byrd being 37 though... 

 

[elpablo21]

Byrd being 37 though... 

And he wants an option to pay him until he's 39

 

[651akathepaul]

Yeah, Pax.

My bad...I'm in front of a damn pole so the best picture I van get is his follow through.

$2 beers are like half a beer and for the line they have it just wasn't worth it. Ended up paying full price for 2 20 ounces instead.

 

[a55a5in11]

Haha the game I went to I just made my girl go get my beers 2 at a time

 

[elpablo21]

Haha the game I went to I just made my girl go get my beers 2 at a time

I remember you saying you did that last time

 

[finnns2003]

I swear if this team doesn't acquire some pop at this deadline, if we don't get some of these .200 hitters up outta here

 

[651akathepaul]

Ran to grab some coffee and briefly heard some callers on Brock and Salk saying they "absolutely" need to look at trading guys like Taijuan and DJ.

I think that's how you get yourself in a world of hurt down the line. It may be worth it, but most of the times it's not. The farm system is everything. Give someone the poo-poo platter deluxe with guys like Smoak, Ackley, Montero, Almonte, Franklin (still has trade value because he hasn't completely bombed yet). You can't get rid of multiple top prospects though. D.J. isn't even that far off from being a big-leaguer.

 

[elpablo21]

Yup

I know that's how the game is played but I feel uneasy giving up top prospects for players who are up there in age and already showing decline. (except Price) and the value they may bring over to Seattle isn't a garuantee to make it your worth while in the long term.

Like you said throw out the poo poo deluxe

and see if you can get a solid return....There's pieces in the bullpen we can move and pitching prospects outside of Tai/Pax that have upside
