heirdog Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 My only point in ever putting Prior and Contreras in the same thread was that they were the centerpieces in similar deals offered for Tejada. Cubs supposedly offered Prior, Neifi Perez, Patterson, and Rich Hill for Tejada and Bedard. So my thought was that since the Sox were probably offering a better OVERALL package than the Cubs, it seems that Bedard should be included in the deal. Somehow Rock Raines pulled off the part where I said we are giving up arguably the better "ace" (Contreras vs. Prior) and ran with it...who has more value to the Orioles... Â But in the end, does anyone else think that if this trade rumor is true, that KW will absolutely have Bedard included in any deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickman Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Not that my opinion matters but I would love this. Getting a top 10 player in the league is tremendous. I could care less about prospects. They are just trading pawns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Just after reading the first post, they can't do that. We don't even need a SS. We especially don't need to give up a starter and great prospects for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighurt574 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Since the Orioles asked for Contreras, I would think they wouldn't be asking for McCarthy as the pitching prospect. It's a little risky to make yet another drastic trade coming of a WS, but I like it, Tejada is an elite player in his prime and at about $12M per is worth the contract.

S720 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 About few weeks ago, Kenny has already mentioned on an article in the Sun-Times that he disliked the defeatist attitude, and that he will do whatever to not only improve the team to win it all again, but also to get rid of the second team in the city reputation. Â If he holds truth to his words, he will pull the trigger. Â Just close your eyes and envision the drawing attraction: Tejada-Konerko-Thome-Dye!!! Â Wow!

I'd do this trade every day of the week and twice on Sunday as long as the pitching prospect is not named McCarthy.  Remember, Contreras is of low value to the Sox because McCarthy is waiting in the wings AND he is a short-termer contract wise. Sweeney is a prospect at best - we are still waiting on corner OF power from him - and the pitching prospect would have to be a low level guy anyway (the Sox have traded all the good AA/high-A guys anyway). Put it at Contreras, Uribe, Sweeney and Liotta for Tejada and, say, an Oriole high-A IF prospect, and it's a deal for me (every day and twice on Sunday).
