Cubs sign Mike Napoli this offseason. 5 years 75M. They can trade Soto and get two young players to help restock the farm system. I would go hard after Napoli if I were Theo.

17 May 2012 01:12:45
CWS: Kosuke Fukodome OF and Cash

for

SEA: Michael Saunders OF

17 May 2012 01:11:31
MIN: Tsuyoshi Nishioka SS

for

TOR: Chad Beck RP and Andrew Carpenter SP

The Jays have a good SS at the major league level and one who's ready at AAA. WHY ?

15 May 2012 18:48:43
Philles Trade: Hamels

LA Dodgers: Andre Either. Prospects

Also. after aquiring either, prospects. phills sign Oswalt. Then
Trade: OF Pence to

TOR: 1 high prospect. 1 mid level. and a RP

14 May 2012 21:44:39
Cubs and Angels Trade

Cubs get Garrett Richards, Ervin Santana, and Taylor Lindsey.

Angels get Geovany Soto, Carlos Marmol (Cubs send 8M of the salary), Chris Volstad, and Josh Vitters.

There is no way the Angels give up Santana AND Richards. If Santana is traded, then Richards takes his spot

I disagree with that. This is a good deal for the Angels.

14 May 2012 21:38:03
Cubs and Tigers Trade

Cubs get Andy Oliver and Nick Castellanos.

Tigers get Ryan Dempster and Dillon Maples.

I know we would have to trade some to get some but never castellanos cause we can still use him

yeah he is behind fielder and cabrera at the depth chart at 1B and 3B but he said when he gets to the majors, he will like to play in the outfield or infield

well have castellanos play at 2B

Stupid trade rumor. If the tigers were gonna trade Oliver and Castellanos it would have been for Gio Gonzalez from Oakland. I don't know what the tigers plan to do with Castellanos but he's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Well that really doesn't make sense since they have no place to put him and they need to win soon. Players getting old!

O's get Cole Hamels and prospect
Phils get Hammel, Jones and Arrieta

14 May 2012 16:58:54
Phillies Trade: OF Shane Victorino
INF Michael Martinez
RP Joe Savery

Blue Jays Trade: OF Jake Marisnick
OF Rajai Davis

Good trade for Jays and Phils. Gives Jays a solid outfield of Bautista, Rasmus, Victorino with Thames off the bench. Adds a good prospect to the Phillies farm system, who should come up in a year or two.

14 May 2012 15:25:31
Rays get Domonic Brown and Erik Kratz
Phils get Jeff Keppinger and mid-level prospect

14 May 2012 01:25:55
Orioles get Halladay
Phillies get A.Jones and J.Arrieta + prospect

Phillies sign Wright and Swisher as free agents

Phillies starters
Hamels
Lee
Arrieta
Worley

Phillies 2013 lineup
1 Rollins
2 Utley
3 Wright
4 Howard
5 Jones
6 Pence
7 Swisher
8 Ruiz

Looks like an interesting trade for both team. It could give the O's what they need for a playoff push and the Phil's a chance to rebuild with out blowing the whole team up. Would not make the trade if Dylan Bundy is the prospect that is being throw in.

14 May 2012 01:19:22
Phillies trade Halladay to

Baltimore for A. jones and J.arrieta and a relief pitcher

Phillies sign Wright and Swisher in free agency

2013 starters Hamels Lee Arrieta Worley
Lineup Rollins. Utley. Wright. Howard. Jones. Pence. Swisher. Ruiz

14 May 2012 01:14:34
Tigers get Halladay and victorino
Phillies get fister a.jackson p.coke and a prospect
Phil's use freed up money to sign Jamel's and d.wright

SMH Tigers Fan SMH

Phil Coke has even less trade value than Joe Blanton.

Im a huge tigers fan and i would like halladay but why get 1 much needed player but create more needs

victorino wont be better then jackson for the tigers, halladay may be the best all-round pitcher in baseball (not named mariano rivera) but we would need bull-pen help after this trade even when we needed it before

I am a huge Halladay fan and I still think he has some good years ahead of him. To give up Fister and Jackson would be way to much. Not to mention the Tigers have nobody to fill the Phil Coke gap. Maybe the Tigers could go after Greinke if the Brewers are out of it at the deadline. Unfortunately they would never be able to sign him long term with Boras as an agent.

14 May 2012 01:09:46
Phillies Trade; SP Cole Hamels and OF Shane Vicrtorino.

to

Boston: for 3B Will Middlebrooks. SP Clay Buckholz. and a top 10 prospect. along with cash

Yeah because Boston will be buyers at the deadline

Personally as a red sox fan i wouldnt like this deal middlebrooks is the 3B of the future.. im pissed that youk is coming back and they are sending will down to AAA..horrible trade in my opioin

13 May 2012 17:59:06
Reds trade OF Chris Heisey

13 May 2012 03:54:29
The Jays could use infield help at third, short and first, the tigers could be shipping Cebrara later this year. It would be cool to see him a Jay.

To: Toronto
IF Miguel Cebrara
P Michael Castro (prospect)

To: Detroit
2012 2nd round pick
P Casey Jansen
IF Adam Lind

The Jays have Lawrie at 3rd. This kid is going to be an all star. They have a future gold glove SS in Hecchavaria

Play him at first

U can't trade draft picks

The Tigers would never trade Cebrara. There is no chance this could happen. Verlander is the only one on this team that is more untouchable. The Tigers need players that are going to make a differance now. No prospects or wannabes.

12 May 2012 14:57:32
Phillies get D'Arnaud, Encarnacion, Perez and Thames
Jays get Hamels, Victorino and Kratz

12 May 2012 14:42:23
Phils Hamels and Kratz for LAD's top five prospects... Castellanos, Silverio, Van Slyke, Fife, and Erickson

12 May 2012 13:13:30
to Toronto: Cole Hamels
to Phillies: Travis D'Arnaud, Jake Marisnick/Anthony Gose, Justin Nicolino/Daniel Norris

This trades actually makes some sense because during the offseason the Phillies were trying to acquire Travis D'Arnaud who they gave up in the Roy Halladay trade.
Also, the Phillies who get 3 impact prospects to rebuild their farm system.
By: Mitchy@Go_Jays_Go

All that for a free agent?? aa would be a moron

Well whenever a team trades for a big time player they have an agreement in place before they finalize the trade.

12 May 2012 06:20:10
BOS: Kevin Youkilis 3B

12 May 2012 06:14:56
ANA: Ervin Santana SP, Alberto Callaspo 3B, Trevor Reckling SP and Trevor Bell SP

for

NYM: David Wright 3B

Reckling just got released

11 May 2012 22:18:00
Lind, Thames, Perez
for
Hamels, Victorino

It would take a hell of a lot more from the Jays... maybe their top 3 prospects also.

11 May 2012 17:51:03
Jays get Blanton, Brown and Frandsen
Phils get Bautista

Quit including Blanton in trades. No one wants him.

Jays already inquired about Blanton...

11 May 2012 06:02:00
Deadline Rumors

Kevin Youkolis

Possible landing spots

Los Angeles Angels
Los Angeles Dodgers
Philladalphia Phillies
Detroit Tigers
Washington Nationals
Milwakee Brewers

The Angels could possibly do this but that would pretty much mean the end of trumbo in Anaheim.

The Dodgers seem like an ideal fit for seeing as though they need a Thirdbaseman

The Phillies oviously need a Thirdbaseman .

The Tigers could possibly put him at Third but that would mean making Prince a 214 million dollar DH. So I doubt he will go there. Sorry Tiger fans

The Nationals I think will be one of the bussiest teams this July. They could get Youk and place him at 1st base.

And the Brewers I think could make alot of sence for them but I think they would hold back just because of their farm system

Thoughts. Where do you think he is going to. I will say he will become a National or Dodger. One of those two

Doubt the Nats want him seeing as he is injury prone and there are better options out there for a first basemen or in house options either one. I do agree Dodgers seem most likely to get him but this all depends on how well he's doing once he's back from his injury.

Tigers don't want him. Does Billy Beane still want him...

11 May 2012 04:11:16

11 May 2012 03:26:16
Josh Beckett to LA Dodgers for minor league pitchers Zach Lee and Alan Webster

I do believe Beckett will be on the move but the Sox are not going to get anywhere near market value for him.

11 may 2012 02:23:48
when is it enough john henry get off your ass a do something about this team. red sox nation is tired of watching their beloved red sox day in and day out loose here's a list of what you should do.
1. get rid of bobby v he sucks as a manager
2. get some pitching we need it bad.
3. spend some money for god sakes.
4. stop worring about that stupid soccer team and start worring about the red sox.

11 May 2012 01:08:23
Astros get Placido Polanco, Kevin Frandsen, Domonic Brown, and Kyle Kendrick

Phillies get Brett Myers, Chris Johnson and Fernando Rodriguez

Brett myers isnt coming back to philly unless its a 1 day deal when he retires

10 May 2012 21:23:09
Blue Jays have singed Vlad Guerrero to a minor league deal

10 May 2012 16:41:17
Phillies Get : Josh Hamilton, Ogando

Texas gets. Cole Hamels. Kratz. Dom Brown. kendrick

10 May 2012 15:13:09
halos/mets trade
trumbo and a prospect for david wright
we need a solid third baseman. callaspo sucks.
trade santana for anothe sp. he makes me nervous.

Have faith in Trumbo at third base. Beside Trumbo, in my opinion is a better hitter than David Wright. His numbers have gone down each year. T

10 May 2012 02:41:19
Prediction

At the trade deadline

The Dodgers will get either Kevin Youkalis or Justin Morneau

10 May 2012 00:23:37
Twins get Blanton, Brown and Savery
Phillies get Willingham and prospect

09 May 2012 16:21:52
Phils send Contreras, Brown and Schnieder
Cubs send Marmol and prospect

09 May 2012 00:15:59
Redsox get King Felix and a minor league prospect for Jose Inglesias, Josh Beckett, and Andrew Miller.

If Seattle, for some reason, trades Felix, they wouldn't want to take on extra salary.

If BoSox wanted the king, they would have to give iglesias, middlebrooks, lavarnway and doubront

08 May 2012 19:13:33
I hear the Reds are in serious talks with Cole Hamels because they need a lefty in their rotation and Hamels is actually good.

Reds get Hamels and Polanco

Phillies get LeCure and Cairo

They can't be in serious talks with him because hes not a free agent

Dude, stop making Reds fans look dumb. Were an educated bunch but posts like that make us look like morons.

Miguel cairo is a wash up he played for us before
