The M's have a great bullpen. I'm expected to see who we receive, and also who we acquire to be our LF.

Man the Mariners have had them on their list for atleast 2 years.

As long as it's one of the relievers whose arms are attached, this is a good deal.

Good Lord. They've been talking to the Mariners about him for a year. One would hope it would be serious at this point.

It takes a long time to get somebody drunk enough that Viciedo looks good to them.

Carson Smith come on down. Wishful thinking

I'd really rather not trade him for a reliever at this point.

Don't you pour water on my dream.

If this is close, Rick has to have some inclination that he's going to get a LF from someone soon.

With all the relievers we are bringing in, I can totally see Hahn trying to get creative on a deal attaching one of Petricka, Putnam, Guerra in a deal with Danks to a team that needs starting pitching and bullpen depth and can take on Danks contract

I could see that too. I can see Webb on his way out with Danks to acquire a LFer.

Not a Webb fan. Wouldn't have a problem with it. I just hope its not Crawford.

Hearing not. Those talks seem to have cooled. @antreas_x mariners close to viciedo?is that true?

 

Battle of beat writers here. So who's right?

Yeah, I don't get why we'd want Crawford as our LF anyway. That would make more sense last year, before Adam Eaton.

Yoervis Medina plz

Nooooooo, don't do that to me. Please this needs to happen.

Hahn was saying they aren't going to be bringing in any "$20 million a year" guys this year, so if Viciedo is traded, unless they have something else lined-up, it seems to me Ichiro is next since Nightengale said they have already been talking. I'm sure they know what it would take to sign him.

 

One thing you do need at USCF is power. If you have Ichiro in LF, Eaton in CF, Gillaspie at 3B and Micah at 2B, IMO, Hahn is going to have to find someone to hit some HR who can at least split time with Ichiro and be able to play LF when Eaton is sitting down.

 

I know he had a really good year, but I would be really happy if the Sox did something at 3B other than Gillaspie. It is too bad Hahn couldn't have made the Samardzija trade bigger and picked up Donaldson.

Not a Webb fan. Wouldn't have a problem with it. I just hope its not Crawford.

 

I don't think it would be. My idea was that they would attach a good reliever with him to be able to clear all of Danks salary without having to pay any

Webb has close to 0 value at this point

I'm sorry, but if Merkin of all people is saying it, well then it's happening.

I don't think it would be. My idea was that they would attach a good reliever with him to be able to clear all of Danks salary without having to pay any

 

And then that money would pay for a LF or RF?

I'd be happy with Smith/Maurer/Furbush/Medina/Farquhar/Beaven

Makes it sound like they're stepping back for a bit

Hahn: "we are going to head back to Chicago, regroup & try to knock off a few more targets on our list. In our opinion, we're not done yet'

Yeah, Webb isn't a guy I'd look to move. Frankly, Petricka is more along the lines of someone the Sox would move, someone they feel is overvalued by the market.
