Buster Olney reports that many people around basbball think David Price will be dealt during the 2013 season. Olney has speculated that the Cubs will be in play for him after the season. As he's getting too expensive for the Rays ... he just was paid a little over 10.1 million in his 2nd year of arb.
I think the Cubs would make an acqusition at next year's trade deadline for Price if made available. This is one player, the Cubs would trade 'spects to get. I think a trade next off-seaosn is kore likely, tho. I can't see them trading Price during the season, ezpecially if their still in the playoff mix. Which I seen happening, even with the AL East being tougher than ever.
It will cost the Cubs and I do think they won't be afraid to make a trade for him. He's only 28 (in August) and a CY winner.
Here's the question: Would you trade Jeff Samardzija for Price? I know the Cubs would rather have Samarzija and Price in the same rotation, but I think it'll be easier on the farm system if they did. Maybe Samardzija, Maples, Villanueva and Lake/Szczur for Price and another player possibly (Desmond Jennings, maybe or a 'spect).
Acquring both Upton and Price would be the best thing to happen in Chicago. But it's a complete pipedream. To me, Price is way more likely than Upton to come to Chicago.
