David Price to the Mariners?

[IowaAngels27]

Buster Olney tweet-"Asked three execs today to speculate on where David Price would land -- speculate, mind you -- and they all guessed: Seattle."

 

This could make the AL West even more interesting. Thoughts?

 

[Tank]

would not like.

[jshep]

Would not be good news.

[Sciosciapath]

Makes sense.  Taijuan Walker/Nick Franklin/etc for Price.

[Angels]

I would love to see the M's trade Taijuan Walker + for Price.

[Inside Pitch]

Better than having him go to Texas.

I would love to see the M's trade Taijuan Walker + for Price.

I feel the same way. Makes the Mariners better short term but Walker is going to be a stud.

Seattle would be way more of a threat next year but even if they got Price, I don't see them winning over 85 games.

Scott needs to Tweet: "Price likely going to M's" so it doesn't happen.

That's the thing. Even with Price, I still don't think they would be good enough to make the postseason. 

 

I would love to see them gut their farm system and give up some potentially valuable young players on their club for two guaranteed years of David Price.

This is a really good article that basically says that trading a top prospect like Walker for Price isn't very smart. They used Gregory Polanco as an example in the trade. If a young player is average for a year or 2, then develops into a 3-4 WAR player, which is very possible for Walker, that they're essentially giving away 100 million dollars worth of value for possibly 50 million dollars worth of value with Price.

 

And that's not including other players like Franklin who could be in the deal. If Franklin is an average 2b for 5 years and the Rays get another decent asset, the Rays come out on top looking like geniuses.

That would be a great move for Seattle. Especially if they can lock him up long term.

[m0nkey]

The same Taijuan Walker the angels passed on for Chevy Clarke and Ryan Bolden?

[Scott34]

The same the angels passed on for Chevy Clarke and Ryan Bolden?

 

Yeah that guy

[tennischmp]

At least they drafted Pujols

[jshep]

The same Taijuan Walker the angels passed on for Chevy Clarke and Ryan Bolden?

 

ouch.

[nate]

That would make the Mariners rotation insanely good.

Even if they did trade for Price Scott could shake his pitching hand in spring training next year.

This makes me sad.

[Tyler]

The Mariners should get Matt Kemp as well.

[cez]

I'd rather trade Walker for good offense.  

 

If we go after another starter, I'm hoping it's Tanaka.  It makes sense for him and for the M's.  

[Taylor]

This would be such a typical Dipoto move.
