David Price 4 Trumbo+Bourjos?

[mota_madness]

Could we would we? If so for who? We need pitching rumor has it he's gonna be on the block. I would love to have Price as weave no longer has ace ability. Your thoughts.

 

Price

Wilson

Weaver

Vargas

Richards

 

I think we'd compete.  

 

[xboom28x]

Trumbo and Bourjos would net Hellickson.

 

We don't have the pieces to trade for Price. Won't happen.

[Sully151]

Buster Onley was on ESPN radio and said the Dodgers were rumored to be after Price. Can you imagine a rotation of Kershaw, Price, Greinke?

[Angels]

I wouldn't trade Bourjos or Trumbo for Hellickson. Hellickson's peripherals have always been scary and it seems to have finally caught up with him this year.

[xboom28x]

So has Trumbo's

[HaloCory22]

Kendrick, Bourjos, Borenstein plus Mancini's first born for Price.

[Angels]

So has Trumbo's

 

Trumbo is who he is.

I would make that trade if we could extend Price.  It would be to much to give up just as a rental.  AND it may not be enough for Price.  Trumbo is going to get expensive and I would think TB would want players who are pre arbitration.

Exactly.  The conversation would start at Callhoun.  Then the Rays would say "and", and the Angels would have no answer.  We don't have the pieces that Tampa would want for Price.

[wopphil]

Price isn't the type of guy we should be going after.  We need cheap, club-controlled pitching. 

[wopphil]

The White Sox have two good young arms in Hector Santiago and Jose Quintana.  And they desperately need offense.  Although Trumbo alone definitely wouldn't get it done for either of those guys, perhaps Trumbo and/or Kendrick could form the centerpiece of a deal. 

[Angel Oracle]

Or pitching that requires ZERO player movement and ZERO draft picks lost (coughTanakaandtheBeardcough)

Kendrick should get you more than just one pitcher!  Could Trumbo and Kendrick bring both?

[wopphil]

No way.  Those guys are both really young and have at least four or five years of club control remaining.  I am sure the White Sox would have interest in Trumbo, but who knows if they would even have an interest in Kendrick.

Halos don't have the ammo to get Price. If Rays make him available, there will be other teams with much better prospects to offer

Agreed.  Bourjos will be 27 next March and has played a grand total of one full season in the majors--and he's about to enter arbitration.  Trumbo is about to enter arbitration, too.  Sure, the Rays would have 3 years of control of both guys, but they're about to get a lot more expensive than they are right now--which kind of defeats the purpose of what the Rays are trying to do here.

[SoWhat]

Won't happen. Dodgers can offer Pederson, Lee, and more. Angels can't compete with the offers TB will be getting from the Dodgers, Mets, D'backs, etc

[Troll Daddy]

James Loney will be a free agent. I believe that will be the first choice if they can get him signed early at a affordable price.

If not ... then Trumbo will be affordable for a team who wants to win now . You throw in Bourjos then I like our chances trading for Price. These are two solid ready to go players in return for Price.

Although I think they may prefer Calhoun over Bourjos.

Read the rest of the thread. TB doesn't want players in their arb years. They'll want prospects in any trade for Price. When they traded Shields last offseason, they got back Wil Meyers and other prospects. Edited October 10, 2013 by AngelsAndRamsFan

I don't see Bourjos getting that expensive with ARB.  As you said, he only played one full season. 

[NorCal Halo]

Not only are those players not enough for a perrenial Cy Young candidate, I don't think outfield and first base are what the Rays need.  Loney had a nice season for them. Zobrist is a free agent but he is a fan favorite.  Escobar is a free agent but I think the Rays still think his upside is worthwhile.  What the Rays need is catching.  I could see interest in Ianetta but then what?  Ianetta, Kendrick (if they don't extend Zobrist), Trumbo (if they don't extend Loney), and Aybar (if they don't extend Escobar).  I think loosing our middle infield for a pitcher would cause Dipoto to balk at such a trade.

heres the thing angels cant afford another year to experiment on pitching they need to go after GOOD pitchers with proven track records.  And price would be for 2 years.  right?

exactly why bourjos will be good trade bait just because he is going to enter arbitration doesn't mean he'll win and with his lack of innings played his value is weaker but he has a great upside on potential. 

[Angelsjunky]

In before the "let's trade five spare parts for a Cy Young contender" suggestions that are based upon a complete inability to be see beyond homerism.

 

Let's trade Shuck, Romine, Carpenter, Shoemaker, and Mathis for Price. That's five for one!

[HaloCory22]

Trade Kendrick to LA for Lee and Withrow. Flip Lee along with Trumbo, Calhoun, and Borenstein for Price.

 

Or... just keep Lee.
