Official Mark Trumbo Trade Chatter (DEAL DONE)


Recommended Posts

6:52pm: The Diamondbacks are in the hunt for Choo, according to Rosenthal (Twitter link). As we heard earlier, Arizona is also very much in the mix for Mark Trumbo, so as Rosenthal notes, it appears the club has several options, including trying to sign Choo and trade for a pitcher, or acquiring Trumbo and signing a free agent pitcher.

Crap

If there really are 12 teams interested in Trumbo, and it keeps Choo out of the AL West, I would be fine with this.

Some context people might not remember. Angels drafted Skaggs with the 40th pick the in 2009 draft (Trout's draft). Diamondbacks had the 41st pick and apparently really liked him. Local kid from Santa Monica who dominated in high school. 6'5" lefty now.

I believe the Haren for Saunders, Skaggs, Corbin and Rodriguez was Dipoto's first deal almost immediately after he took over as GM. It came out how much the DBacks loved Skaggs and how he was a key to the deal. Corbin becoming a stud was not really expected.

So don't be surprised if Skaggs is a big component of a Trumbo deal. Both Dipoto and the Angels organization loved this kid at one point, we just fooled ourselves into thinking we were so close to competing and gave up three decent pitchers under control for years for a market rate pitcher.
