Official Mark Trumbo Trade Chatter (DEAL DONE)

[19HALO71]

Tweet silence = Wrapping it all up.

[Angels]

Trading Trumbo's a huge mistake, 30 home run/100 RBI guys don't grow on trees.  Trumbo's a hometown guy too and would have stayed here.  This has been one of the most poorly run big budget organizations in baseball in the last few years.

 

Besides being able to hit a lot of home runs, what else does Trumbo do well? 

 

Waiting...

Although I very much agree with you in regards to us being one of the most poorly ran organizations in baseball for the past 3-4 years, I can not disagree with you more. Trumbo's value is not very high, and when you factor in our need for pitching, and not only pitching..but young, cost controlled pitching (4 years and 6 years is what we're getting for these two youngsters), this trade is a steal.

That's all he is and nothing more.

Woohoo!! I love love love this trade. I'm a huge Trumbo fan, but he was our best trade chip to get good young arms, and we did. I wish him all the best in Arizona. 

[ten ocho recon scout]

I like how they worked in 'consummate' to go along with '3-way.'

agreed. Whoever wrote that is a cunning linguist.

[AngelStew43]

I agree with Fabregas.  Going to miss Trumbo.

sad. i wouldn't have traded trumbo. 

 

dipoto is too desperate

Trumbo can easily be replaced. He's not good, just average.

[Mark68]

I'm starting to hate that Morales trade more and more. If we move Trumbo he could have been our DH/1B, but instead we traded him for Vargas (a 1yr rental).

Right, but if you notice, K-Mo is also a free agent, so we'd still have the same dilemma, as it's pretty obvious we're not going after him now.

Don't worry Scioscia will be the first ever GM/Manager a year from now.

[Chimi]

We already have a guy in Cron that can do what Trumbo does.

Generate trade pr0n?

[force951]

Would be nice if someone else would confirm that the deal is done.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

I'm going to miss Trumbo's swinging misses at balls over his head.

[Halos of Anaheim]

It's funny when a guy with a sub .800 OPS is considered as some kind of messiah. Especially when he somehow nets us two young cost controlled pitchers.

You just can't help yourself, can you?

Trumbo is an asset. Has higher value than most thought. Taking advantage of this is what good organizations do.

Bourjos and Trumbo were my favorite players on this team and now they're gone. We need pitching though, so I can't really criticize. I still think it's a desperate move.
