Matt Garza Trade Discussion Thread***Update, 60-day DL'ed

Rumor to take with a huge grain of salt, but this guy on BleacherNation called the Paniagua signing before I saw it anywhere else:

Grain of salt taken... but wow! That would be an incredible haul... though I don't see the FO trading off Vitters unless they are confident that Lake can be ready within the next year and a half to take over there. Or perhaps they envision Baez moving very quickly through the system.

I dont think this FO big on Vitters. I can see him going in another deal to get better specs

You could be right, but I'm not so certain. I've seen nothing to suggest they are down on him, but they also don't talk him up very often. However, I think the only way he gets traded is if they believe they have a 3B replacement that can reach the big leagues as soon, or nearly so, as he might. This, or if they manage to get another option for 3B in the trade.

Just a quick blurb as the Dodgers may have shifted their focus to Garza.

And of course now Garza has a right tricep cramp and is day to day.

That guy on BleacherNation gets a lot of cred if Garza does go in a Lee plus deal.

Gammons said to not hold your breath for a Lee-Garza trade.

Garza is not going to pitch until Mondy at the earliest. We have gotten so fucked in the past couple of days in terms of the two pieces that were going to help restock the system.

The front office waited too long.

I don't think a Garza trade is dead. I still believe he will be dealt to an AL team this week.

Dempster did screw things up a bit.

 

[DewsSox79]

is there any tid bits out there about a deal with him?

Nope, just the normal "interest" blurbs. Probably closer to Tuesday you'll see Twitter explode again.

Notta. The Cubs FO is pretty tightlipped about everything, and so I wouldn't be shocked if the Cubs had a lot of talks with the Jays and others about Garza that we haven't heard about.

The last I heard today was from Morosi, that the Cubs are still talking to suitors about a possible Garza trade.
