The 2012 MLB Trade Deadline Thead (JULY 31st)

[HHR]

Justin Upton not only available but being SHOPPED?

The extra WC spot has a lot more team believing they're in contention, so selling teams might benefit despite the new rules regarding offering arbitration....

We'll see...

Biggest names on the market

Upton
Greinke
Hamels
Garza
Dempster
Headley
Quentin
Scuttaro

trade deadline you mean?

 

[HHR]

Sure....I meant that this is trade season.....

 

[Captain Crunch]

I really want Upton, but I don't want to get rid of our young pitchers

You know the convo will start with Wheeler or Harvey plus a ML ready player like Tejada

We should pass and go after someone like Cuddyer.

 

[HHR]

You can have Cuddyer for a few packs of gum

any word on the Blue Jays' endeavours?

 

[HHR]

Jays are likely to be sellers, imo. Too many teams ahead of them and their pitching has been pretty poor all year.

Could move Johnson or Encarnacion. I'd suggest moving EE, could get a decent package in return as their aren't many bats on the market

Wonder what it would take for the Yankees to get someone of Upton's caliber?

Probably Banuelos and Campos + a position player (Gumbs/Williams/Culver)

Sanchez is their top prospect, but the DBacks just locked up Montero so it's not a great fit.

I rather have a pitcher.

 

[Professor Polo]

Yanks should definitely go pitcher...they dont need upton, esp if Gardner comes back

Swisher will be a free agent next year, so Upton could replace him. Plus the Yankees have enough pitching depth, there is no need for one via trade. If we don't have to give up Sanchez then I contemplate on making that move that HHR proposed.
