Official Mark Trumbo Trade Chatter (DEAL DONE)

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 3m

Sources: #Angels' Trumbo in play. Club officials view him as difficult to lose, but also as the piece who might bring them most in return.

Good.

 

I'll drive him to the airport if you give us some pitching, Diamondbacks.

Ah, so my trade proposals to Dipoto changed his mind I see.

[HaloCory22]

Shocking development, Rosenthal. 

[VariousCrap]

Lets hope he is traded to AZ for some pitching.

I'm not convinced you haven't replaced Dipoto. If he looks like Vincent D'onofrio in Men in Black, my fears will be confirmed.

Shocking development, Rosenthal. 

 

Actually, it is. We haven't "shopped" Trumbo, teams have inquired about him. Up until now.

True, but even before the season ended we knew Trumbo would more than likely be moved for an arm. The "we're thinking about holding onto him" statement JD made was just a ploy imo.

I'm Callin' my shot: Trumbo/Jepsen to D-Backs for Cahill/AJ Pollack. (Why Pollack? WHY NOT? Also: Trade Chip). 

[ELEVEN]

Pollack and Trout together at last!

Let's go bottom feeders let's go!

Jon Morosi reporting that the Pirates are also discussing multiple trade options for their 1B vacncy.

#Pirates looking hard at first baseman...trade options include Adam Lind, Logan Morrison, according to @jonmorosi. FAs include Loney

 

 

Another team actively looking for a 1B

And they supposedly called on Trumbo at the deadline too.

 

Diamondbacks would probably be my first choice(granted, with having 0 knowledge of what each team is willing to offer, but on paper), but Pirates have some nice pieces to offer too.

Trumbo for Jeff Locke

Sources: Phillies actively shopping OF Domonic Brown. Looking for controllable starting pitching in return. Idea is to sell high on him.

 

well this could be interesting if true. Another option for teams looking for that power bat.

[IowaAngels27]

Trumbo for Jeff Locke

 

Yes.

[Brent Maguire]

That's very weird if they're shopping Brown. That team is going in no direction. They didn't shop Lee or Utley, then signed Byrd/Ruiz and now they're gonna trade one of their best players? Stupid.

As for Trumbo, I would like to see him moved. I get the feeling that they want to keep him though in case Pujols needs to DH more than expected.

Although I would be perfectly fine with Calhoun at 1st for some games since 1B defense doesn't really matter as much.

Hell no on locke.

[YouthofToday]

Ruben Amaro has no idea what he is doing? Not surprising.

[Chuck]

The Phillies are going to cock block us. Damn!

[Brent Maguire]

Rosenthal was just on MLB Network. 

 

Basically he said he thinks Trumbo would net a bigger return than Howie due to his elite power. He also said Howie is the most likely one to be traded though because of Green/Lindsey and trading Trumbo could create a shortage of power if Pujols/Hamilton don't bounce back.

Amazing insight
