Trumbo and Downs on the block

Calling utter BS on this. Dipoto probably learned in the past when he worked with the D-Backs that telling a young player he's on the trade block is a bad idea. You could clearly see how Justin Upton responded to all of that as a young player and I'm sure Jerry realizes that it's a poor decision to do this.

Usually the only players that are told well enough ahead are those who need to sign off on a no-trade clause before they're moved.

The Yanks are the only team in the AL that I can think of, that are desperate for a Trumbo type player (power-DH-1st/ OF.

Atlanta needs a starter and Hughes would be a good rental for them...

3 team deal?
So who do we get in return?
A package of prospects from both teams, maybe?

Dipo needs to get real creative with the dearth of trade chips he has to work with..

Trumbo and Downs on the block

 

 

Subject line ^

 

You should have said RUMOR. I would doubt they have any intention of trading Trumbo.

 

Who else does Dipo have to trade?

Unless you are OK with things as they are, or want to go the FA market again (lol)

You are going to need to trade someone.

At this point in time, Trumbo is the only player with any value to teams looking to bolster up for a stretch drive.

This is the time of year to get contenders to over-pay for "the piece".

This team needs to restock the farm, and they are out of the playoffs.

I'm not buying the Trumbo piece.  Downs, yes, because he is a FA.  In the AL, the team that needs OF and DH protection is Texas.  They are concerned about Nelson Cruz going bye-bye for 50 games.  They have inquired about K-Mo from Seattle and Pence from SF.

 

I doubt the Angels would assist Texas in their quest.

Trumbo would be fun to,watch in Texas.
