Is something brewing?

[tdawg87]

Yes. Dealing from a position of depth for a serious need (not including Kohn as depth because he basically sucks).

[Redondo]

Also, I don't see the Marlins trading Cishek given that they are only 2.5 games out of first.

 

They might trade him for an impact bat but unfortunately the Angels released theirs a few days ago.

 

Lol.

[Turd Ferguson]

Kendrick for Holland.  KC gets a 2b that they desperately need and can slide Wade Davis into the CL role.

[YouthofToday]

Morin is clearly movable in the right deal.

I don't think there is any question Dipoto is going to have to make a deal for pitching before July 30; if not additional deals before August 30.

Since our farm system is so depleted it will be interesting to see how much value it has.

Stop with this ludicrous talk of trading Kendrick. Lindsey is simply not ready and questions remain if Green can be above average with the glove at 2B. That and the only teams that would be interested in Kendrick would be teams in contention this year.

If we wanted to Kendrick (and I don't agree with this thought process) really the only teams that make sense would be NL teams such as the Giants, Marlins, etc. why would they deplete a source of strength on their MLB roster (bullpen) though? This doesn't make a lot of sense.

We need to make a trade for some quality pen pitching if we are to make a serious run.........

 

when the deal is done a lot of folks here might not like it because we're not dealing from a position of strength so that means giving a away a quality player on the 25 man roster OR giving up a pretty good young prospect for some possibly very short term help........

 

but that is the situation we're in.

I'd hate to give up Morin. I just don't like trading a positive from a position of weakness to make it only slightly better. We've had some dealings with the Padres before, and I hope we can ship them a couple prospects for Street. I watched him throw from behind home plate while he was in college... Some of the most deceptive, cartoon-like stuff I've ever seen.

[nikkachez]

Huston Street and Joe Thatcher please

[disarcina]

Street and Bud Black  for Morin, Kohn and Mike Butcher.

[disarcina]

Ferguson -- no Kendrick for Holland deal -- for one, KC is in serious contention and next, Wade Davis is at the end of his contract and probably won't be re-signed by KC.....Davis' current contract was as a rotation guy; he got pulled from the rotation due to inconsistency of starts and has now performed so well as a set up and pre-set up guy in the pen, they're not moving him back into the rotation.......but he's not really a closer -- KC has an option on Davis for '15 that they probably will pass on and then he'll hit the F/A market............he's had a good two years as a pen guy so someone will over-pay for him.......hope it's not us. (We could use him, but not at what will probably be his asking price).

[ten ocho recon scout]

YOT keeps making a great point about howie. First, in house replacemorts for him are questionable (but doable if things go right). More important, the type of team howie would appeal to isnt the kind thats going to give us ML ready pieces. Howie would be good for a team like us, who wants to win today. Not a team whos looking towards next year or the next

[Lou]

I got some mud brewing

[bloodbrother]

They should trade for Sean Doolittle. Would help improve their pen while weakening the A's

 

it's brilliant

[Docwaukee]

We aren't trading Howie while we are in the race for a playoff spot.  Plain and simple.  That pretty much goes for anyone on the 25 man roster providing some sort of major league contribution.  

 

It will be two minor leaguers for a pen arm.  It will be like Yarborogh and Nate Smith for someone like Huston Street or a lesser deal to get Ziegler.  

[HaloNation]

In b4 another dipoto fail move

[ELEVEN]

Green and Navarro for Street and Benoit.

[stormngt]

Why trade you only successful reliever for another reliever? Talk about Ridiculous thoughts.

Party dude: "Man, this party is awesome.  Did you see the open bar?"

HaloNation: "Yeah, it's great!  Man, Dipoto sucks."

The beginning of your post you said Morin was clearly moveable. Since RP is our only need and all the talk was about RP I assumed you meant RP.

We have been unbelievably fortunate with the health of our starting pitchers. I don't expect this to continue.

Probably Matt LeBlanc.

Jim Bowden is the worst.  He is the King of vague captain obvious rumors.  I pretty much ignore everything he says.
