Official Mark Trumbo Trade Chatter (DEAL DONE)

[Maydab23]

Trade Howie in another deal for a DH and let Lindsey/Green platoon there. Howie is overrated and costs some money over the next two years.

Kendrick/prospect to Royals for Butler/Crow

A trade built around that might appeal to Royals as it would save them a few mil and solve their 2B problem. They would have added flexibility with rotating DH.

Essentially replace Trumbo and Kendrick with Butler and Green while upgrading SP and RP.

Why? We have like 5 guys here who are doing the work for us. This is the most fun I've had on here since..well last winter meeting lol.

Because its all about having the information first, if your not first your last.

Flip Kendrick to KC for Butler?

That would be so stupid.

[The_Outrunner]

Love days like today! Can't wait for this trade to happen! Can't wait to swing kendrick for something else

[nate]

If Howie were traded I would hope it would be for a good BP arm or prospects.  Otherwise don't do it.  No guarantee that Greene can do the job.

Are you drunk?

 

 

If they pull this trade off, my office will be.

Doesn't anyone else wonder about Santiago's 4.5 BBs per 9 innings in 2013?

Does he have a great arm?   Yes    Did he have a solid ERA in 2013?   Yes

But because of the control, he wouldn't be a true #3 starter yet.   The potential is most certainly there. 

 

I still don't want to trade Borenstein.   I didn't want to part with Grichuk, but at least Borenstein stayed.   Compact lefty swings with good power AND solid plate discipline DON'T grow on trees.

They can always move Hamilton to DH by some point in 2015, when Borenstein is ready.    

 

Borenstein seems like another Kole Calhoun. Which with Calhoun and Hamilton, will balance the right handed heavy lineup of Freese, Green/Kendrick/Pujols, Trout, etc. Zach could be in Anaheim in September if he kills AA the way he killed A-ball, as he is 22-23.

Source: #WhiteSox had asked #Angels about Conger this winter. Not believed to be in current 3-way trade proposal.

[seenoevil]

Good.. I rather keep Conger

[Amazing Larry]

Good.. I rather keep Conger

I'd like to see what Baylor can do with him.

[Mark68]

Flip Kendrick to KC for Butler?

Works for me.

[WallyWorld]

I highly doubt Kendrick gets traded if the Trumbo deal happens.

 

I can see them going out and signing a veteran FA SP to a 1-2 year deal to round out the rotation and add depth.

Marsaka hacked Chuck's account.

Jeff Fletcher finished his burger so maybe this trade will be done soon.

Move Richards to the bullpen.

You realize this will mean Dipoto has traded for Skaggs twice?

 

Dipoto likes him some Skaggs.

[seenoevil]

Why did Skaggs lose velocity on his fastball.

[jshep]

I think in a perfect world Skaggs starts in Salt Lake and is your first guy up WHEN someone gets hurt, so I would definitely like to add another starter.

Meh he'd be hurt in SLC.  I'd give him every opportunity in Spring.

[Halos of Anaheim]

Imagine a rotation of 

 

Weaver

Wilson

Tanaka/Garza

Santiago/Skaggs/Richards fighting for the last two spots.

 

WOW..just WOW.

Hell no. He needs an opportunity in the MLB. 5th starter.
