Meaning, "We'll take CJ off your hands for a 28-year old AAA-player and you'll need to throw in $10-12M as well."

Anything we'd get wouldn't be worth the trade.

I say if we can't package him then we need to keep him and hope for a sub 4.00 ERA

[AngelsLakersFan]

Keep him, if he does well and we're out of the race he will bring more back in trade by the deadline.

[tdawg87]

The only reason to trade him at this point would be to free up payroll to sign Fowler.

 

But that would actually kind of make sense, so they'll trade him and then call it an offseason because economics.

Yep. No sense trading any of these arms now with ST right around the corner.

On the 5? Let me know when that scout is spotted at South Coast Plaza.

it's been said before, but c.j. wilson has not been the problem with this team. at times, he's performed above expectation and other times below. that's been his career in a microcosm. he had this exact same surgery before and responded really well to it. i can't see how trading him makes any sense. just like i said last year, this teams depth at SP is a mirage and it will not hold up over the entirety of the season. they're good guys and they pitch to the best of their current abilities, sometimes over, but they need a #1 and a legit bullpen to make the organism healthy.

I might have believed it if the title was "Teams have thrown tires at CJ Wilson"...

I think there's a few teams waiting to see how he pitches during ST first.

His value might go up

Or if he sucks just stick him in the pen

kicking tires, while the angels get kicked in the nuts

[DailyHalo]

A potential trade involving the CJ's? What about Wilson and Cron for Brock Holt, Hanley Ramirez and $10MM?

[Ohtaniland]

What teams are probably saying..........the tires don't look so bad but we're not interested in the expensive rims that they're attached to.

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

Sad thing is Nibs has been probably a little better than Average for us since he's been here overall. But, we only remember the 4 2/3 inning starts while throwing 117 pitches 6 k's 8 walks!.... 

 

 

 

I guess there is some comfort knowing he's going to be either real good or real crap~ You just have to flip a coin each start to figure what you'll get.

It's amazing how this guy manages to contradict himself in two short phrases.

Trading Wilson ONLY makes sense because of money. If you forget that part, you'd see he's probably set to have a very good season because he's a good pitcher and is fully healthy and rested.180 innings and a 3.50 ERA with a good k/9 should be about it. He's probably going to be our 3rd or 4th best starter.

We can afford to trade him, but I wouldn't unless someone is actually taking him for 8 million and we're getting a good prospect of player in return. But since teams likely aren't offering that, I'd actually be more inclined to trade Santiago, who I expect so the as good as CJa next year but likely carries a higher trade value.
