Nobody is bothered, We are looking for some friendly discussion. Your guys are welcome on the OH site as well. I think most would like to see a deal happen. White Sox fans would like to get as much as possible. The asking price by Getz appears to be astronomical. Elias has guys he isn’t going to move and Os fans are antsy for a SP to replace Gibson that is an upgrade. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens. But, I appreciate the objective opinions of some of your posters. Hopefully we have something to offer to your discussions as well.

They want bats and have extra arms. You can find articles if you go searching.

Ok …. So I took an article from one of their beat writers. COF is right or left.

Santander is in the final year of his deal. They aren’t resigning him and getting something for the future is a Rays type move. The Orioles owner is saying that is the team they want to model after. As far as Mountcastle, Holiday, Ortiz, and Mayo are ready or nearly. You have Gunner and Westburg so the obvious places to make room are by moving the veterans that we know they aren’t going to extend.

Hays 9.6, Mountcastle 14.6, Urias 7.7, Santander 4.4 (low for a 3WAR $12 million salary), and Mateo .7. lets say they’d be interested in trading Woo 28.5, and they could plug Santander and Mountcastle in at RF and DH. That’s 19 on the trade sim. A package of Ortiz, Santander, and Mountcastle would line up. Actually in the Mariners favor 32.6 to 28.2.

The White Sox rightfully have no interest in veteran players. The Mariners are trying to compete. Their offseason needs are listed as COF, DH, and SS. So maybe they value Santander, Mountcastle, Hays, and or Urias. Obviously they will want some prospect talent just not 4 good prospects with 2 being top 100.

Honestly, I think the Orioles match up better with the Mariners and Marlins. They seem to want to hang on to their top prospects. Those teams have interests in in MLB talent so guys like Mountcastle, O’Hearn, Urias, Santander, and Mateo could be part of a package reducing the number of top prospects they’d have to part with. Plus they have a cheap owner and need to trade their assets for guys with more controllable years.
