Rays-Angels trade

[Catching Trout]

Do you guys think we could pull off a trade to acquire david price and jeremy hellickson or maybe matt moore if the rays would be willing to trade him for a package centered around borjous and trumbo

[Tank]

no.

 

trumbo has too many holes in his hitting, and no way we pry away two of their starters. no way.

I wouldn't make any trade for pitching with Tampa Bay.

[eaterfan]

If you accidently mistyped "Trumbo" when you meant "Trout" then yes we could center a package around Trumbo and Bourjos to get Price and Hellickson. Otherwise there isn't much chance.

[Angel Oracle]

Hamilton for Price, Hellickson, Archer, Longoria, and Zobrist

If that's the case ... wouldn't that make the Angels a better team?

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

You couldn't trade Trumbo for Kazmir at this point, and I'm talking the 2011 Kazmir.

GMJr for Archer

I don't know why not. The last deal worked out really well.

Trumbo, Bourjos, and Richards for Price.  

 

Trumbo will become McGwire, Bourjos will become Mays.  Richards will become Verlander.  And Price will become what he was last night, on a regular basis.  

[Second Base]

The two teams have explored a Trumbo-Hellickson swap at least twice in the last two years.  It's making less sense with time though, Loney has done a good job at 1B for the Rays, they can't really use a DH-only type of player because they need that position to keep Longoria and Zobrist in the lineup every night and as a corner OF, Trumbo probably wouldn't be that big of an upgrade over Matt Joyce right now.  And for the Angels, if Pujols can't stay on the field the Angels either need Trumbo at 1B or would need Cron/Calhoun to come through and become everyday players.  On top of which, Hellickson, though he's a fantastic pitcher with upside, this season has really deflated his value to the point where you begin to wonder if you'd rather have him or Phil Hughes.  Hughes would cost more money but Hellickson would cost Trumbo. 

 

I saw the trade working out for both sides in the past, and it may still work, but it seems unlikely.  As for Moore and Price, untouchable.

LMAO   don't need to read any more......price and hellickson for PB and Trumbo........LOL

[HaloCory22]

I'd give my left nut for Matt Moore.

[Halos of Anaheim]

Literally laughed my ass off. Trumbo isn't worth a bag of kettle chips right now. Borjous and Kendrick would be the starting point. Zobrist has played many games in LF.

[YouthofToday]

Trumbo certainly has trade value. Not for price or Moore though.

[Catching Trout]

LMAO don't need to read any more......price and hellickson for PB and Trumbo........LOL

Is a trade centered around. Borjous and trumbo not for them

And for the Angels, if Pujols can't stay on the field the Angels either need Trumbo at 1B or would need Cron/Calhoun to come through and become everyday players. On top of which, Hellickson, though he's a fantastic pitcher with upside, this season has really deflated his value to the point where you begin to wonder if you'd rather have him or Phil Hughes. Hughes would cost more money but Hellickson would cost Trumbo.

Price isnt untouchable the rays probably wont be able to pay him and hes a free agent in 2015 i believe. As for moore i heard last offseason they were open to trading him for the right deal And for hellickson i know the angels like him so i thought the angels could possibly ask for hellickson to go along with price id they were offering a big package

[HaloMagic]

LOL. Classic. You asked if it was possible to get Price and Moore or Hellickson for a package centered around Trumbo and Bourjos and then when literally everyone responds and tells you it's not possible you come back with 'nah, it's possible.' Nice.

Have you seen Hughes this year? Talk about deflated values...

 

I doubt Hughes costs much.

[eligrba]

The Angels should limit trades to only teams with GMs dumber than ours.

What does Philly have to trade?

[James]

Saying Trumbo has zero to minimal trade value is highly inaccurate. They could pull a quality starter for him but not the type that is mentioned in the OP.

[YouthofToday]

I expect price to be traded this offseason. We don't have top prospects with 0 service time required to sign the final papers at your local Del Taco though.

I don't think we have any prospects actually. Only suspects.

Trumbo is not too much different than Mark Reynolds, who played for 3 different teams this year and was released by the Indians.  That is an idea of Trumbo's worth.

When did i say it would be possible i asked if it was possible
