July 21, 201114 yr QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 20, 2011 -> 09:37 PM) Speaking of this...not a fan of trading Lexi but you could probably rape the DBags farm since Drew fractured right ankle tonight. We could buy our old farm back.

July 21, 201114 yr If we're throwing random ideas, why not the following moves: Quentin to Braves for Beachy Jackson to highest bidder for prospects, those prospects to Cubs for Ramirez Viciedo called up, Morel sent down New team: LF Pierre SS Ramirez 1B Konerko 3B Ramirez RF Viciedo C Pierzynski 2B Beckham DH Dunn CF Rios IF Vizquel OF Lillibridge UT Teahen C Flowers #1 Buerhle #2 Humber #3 Danks #4 Floyd #5 Beachy/Peavy CL Santos SU Thornton SU Crain RP Sale RP Peavy/Beachy RP Ohman RP Bruney Better offense and better bullpen. Rotation may or may not be better, but that's cause you're going from a six man to a five man rotation. Overall, I think these moves make us better this year and give another young starter to build around in the future.

No thanks.

July 21, 201114 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 07:25 AM) Do you really want to pay Aramis Ramirez $16 million next season? No thanks. Of course not, but I think he'd be willing to waive the option to come across town. Otherwise, I don't make the deal.

I guess it's possible, since he seems adamant about staying in Chicago, especially for his family. I don't know if the Sox have any prospects the Cubs would want anyway, but that's another discussion.

July 21, 201114 yr To answer the title question...the Site owner never liked having subforums. No good reason right now why we can't use the extant threads and forums for trade talk.

July 21, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 08:19 AM) He's already repeatedly been reported to be uninterested in being traded. So did D Lee last season for the exact same reasons(family). Then an actual playoff team came calling and magically D Lee left town. If the deal is right, ARam will agree to it. He doesnt want to go to Anaheim only to watch the Rangers run away with it

July 21, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 08:19 AM) He's already repeatedly been reported to be uninterested in being traded. Weren't the same things said about Derek Lee? Sometimes when an actual trade is agreed upon, a player will change his tune about not wanting to leave. If I had to guess, Ramirez would be willing to play for us, because he wouldn't have to move his family until he found a long-term home in the off-season. Plus it would give him a chance to win and possibly improve his value in free agency. Obviously some guys are stubborn, but there are too many reasons not to accept a trade to us in this case.

July 21, 201114 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 09:13 AM) Yeah, this is exactly right IMO. BUT, this doesnt tell me he would accept a deal to play for the Sox. IMO the Yankees make more sense for him right now with Arod being out for a month and a half(if not more)

July 21, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 09:36 AM) So that he can then be on the bench when the playoffs roll around? You say that like the Yankees don't have a history of having really, really expensive guys on their bench in the playoffs.
July 21, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2011 -> 09:36 AM) So that he can then be on the bench when the playoffs roll around? him and arod can rotate at dh, 3rd. there are plenty of optiions should he go to nyy

Might make sense from a pure numbers perspective, but I wouldn't want to have my at bats dependent on the Yankees willingness to bench Posada.
