This rumor is bulls***, but if you can get a Hunter Pence for Jordan Danks and Nate Jones you do it and then worry about where you're going to play him after he arrives.

Yeah, I'd rather have Tank even, all things considered.

 

Pence is making 8 figures.

 

Tank is a a quarter that.

Yeah, but I'd much rather have Pence over De Aza.

Is Pence even CF eligible/good? I wouldn't want to move Rios.

And Pence is going into his FA year next year.

Just somebody bored & needing attention on a Monday night.

We will find out in like 16 hours! I loooove the deadline.

This is bull....nothing to see here

If this was even close to being true, then I'd think that Tank was being shipped to Seattle in a deal to get King Felix.

I'm not sure I'd want Pence anyway.

Pence hasn't played CF in the past 5 years, and isn't an ideal lead off hitter. His defense in the past 2 years, according to Fangraphs, is terrible. You are only getting marginal upgrade over De Aza when all things considered, if that. You are not going to pull a trade for a guy who is only a marginal upgrade over the player you are replacing, when the player you are replacing is an above average player, and the player you are trading for is due for $13 million next season.

Santiago Floyd Viciedo for Felix Hernandez & Jones Jor Danks for Pence

 

 

???

 

 

Profit!

This right here. As far as sports goes, this is absolutely my favorite time of year.

 

I will be hitting the refresh button a billion freaking times tomorrow before 3.

 

Pence really isn't that good. look at the ugly obp.

You've already seen his arbitration figures? That's incredible, actually.

You would think someone would have said something about this within the last half hour if it were even a remote possibility.

On MLB Network Brian Kenny just said that there may be another major deal in the works tonight. I don't think this is it but I wonder what he's talking about.

He may be talking about Garza.

Hunter Pence sucks, and there's no way Kenny would pay that much for a sub .800 OPS outfielder.

 

He might be the most overrated player in baseball.

Pence will be arbitration-eligible and will be in line for a salary in the $14-15 million range. His current production doesn't the match the cost nor the structure of the Phillies’ payroll. A trade to a team like the Pirates would make sense. Marte would become the Phillies' everyday center fielder, and Dickerson would give them a legitimate first-base prospect for the future. Pence's 2013 salary would make him a bit expensive for the Bucs, but it would be only a one-year deal, which would make it palatable.

Think ur right w garza . Reds are talking to Cubs about Garza

He may be talking about Garza.

 

Oh I got crossed up. I thought they had already discussed that on the network, but it was on Twitter.

He may be talking about Garza.

how much could they reasonably get for him with his health? They'd be better off holding on to him in the off-season.

No chance of this Pence trade, I would hate it, where would he play anyway?

Yeah, but he isn't "owed $13M" next year. The Sox don't have to offer him arbitration.
