If You Could Trade Anyone For Anyone, Who Would You Trade and For Whom?

[Jntg4]

Can be realistic or not.


Here's Mine:
to TOR: John Grabow, Bob Howry, Esmailin Caridad, $20,000,000
to CHC: Jason Frasor

 

[daddies3angels]

mine would trade Spec to Indians for Wood

 

[EnjoyYourTiger]

how about gra-blow, homerun howry, big z, and a pack of big league chew for lincecum?

...and the sad part of this deal is the gum is the best part!

zambrano's not that bad, but the gum is better than Grablow and Howry.

Theriot for Pujols. didnt the cards say that they like theriots game alot.

Trade Grablow and Caridad for a pen pitcher, all i know is that we need one bad. thats why we got howry our of desperation.

 

[Jntg4]

Why theriot for Pujols when you can trade Baker instead? lol

ah sounds good to me, lets get er done!

 

[Jntg4]

Trade Larry Rothschild for Albert Pujols.

BTW: You can trade a coach for a player. In fact, the last Manager to be traded for a player was Lou Piniella.

[WCulbertson]

I'd trade any one of our starters for a solid bullpen arm.

 

[Jntg4]

David Patton (since he was DFA'D) for Zack Greinke!

 

[derosabomb]

trade lou for a stack of bats.

 

[tbo41fan]

Or a bag of balls

 

[Lefty]

Ugh, why do people insist on starting these kinds of "if we could grab anyone, who would it be" threads? There's really no point to them, both in the sense of the trades proposed being both realistic and applicable.

 

[tbo41fan]

just for fun

 

[Jntg4]

I don't know, I was hoping for realism, but knew it wouldn't happen so I just said they could make them unrealistic or realistic.

 

[Lefty]

And then there's the obligatory "bag of baseballs for A-Rod" shit that just means absolutely nothing and is a waste of everyone's time.

 

[Jntg4]

Good point.

I would try to get rid of Grabow and Zambrano. Come trade deadline time some teams are going to be looking to get some veterans no matter how bad. Zambrano would look good to the Yankees or the Red Sox and they could afford his contract. Grabow no matter how bad is a left handed veteran reliever and we could maybe get one or two low level prospects for him, and not superstar prospects by any means, but A level players who would cost us nothing after the season to release them.

Eh, if this was the last deal of Z's contract, or even if there was one year left, I could see the heavy hitters in the AL (Sawx, Yanks) being interested in Zambrano at the deadline. However, there are at least two more years of $17 million plus per year salary, with a vesting third year that may or may not be kicked in automatically should he be traded. IMO, that's way too much (even for the aforementioned heavy hitters) to commit to, even though they may be in need of pitching help.
