BobDylan Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 If the White Sox could pitch an offer to the Yankees (and of course the Yankees would pick up a MEATY portion of his contract) what level would that pitch need to be in? And, is A-Rod a player worth having? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 QUOTE(BobDylan @ Oct 7, 2006 -> 07:30 PM) And, is A-Rod a player worth having? Yes. As for what it would take to get him, I have no clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dam8610 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 They ARE desperate for pitching, and the Sox DO have an extra starter to deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 7, 2006 -> 07:37 PM) Yes. As for what it would take to get him, I have no clue. NY is only payiong 9 million of ARods salary. If a trade happened and part of the deal was NY paying 4 mil of that, we could have Alex Rodruigez for about 5 or 6 mil a year.

SnB Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 the yanks are going to have to eat so much of that contract to get rid of him. and i think they will this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sircaffey Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Question is, if the Yanks didnt want Crede, would KW want to move Arod back to SS? JR did make a play for Arod before he signed with Texas. If KW wants it, there seems to be a pretty good match here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkokieSox Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) ARod would mash at the Cell... Hypothetical lineup (dream a little dream.) Coco Crisp Gooch Dye Thome PK Arod AJ Crede Anderson/Sweeney Contreras Buerhle Garland McCarthy Vasquez Garcia/Fields/and midlevel pitching spec for ARod We just take Crisp when the Red Sox aren't looking. Maybe we could live with Pierre with the rest of the lineup as so... Edited October 8, 2006 by SEALgep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sox4lifeinPA Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I know I'm not the biggest sox know it all, but why crede? I know the Yanks would love him, but seems like the sox or angels would holding the cards in this one. my guess would be high level prospects to retool the yanks system and vasquez.

Kyyle23 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 QUOTE(knightni @ Oct 7, 2006 -> 08:17 PM) Scott Boras /thread Does that really matter though? Boras is already paid for this client for quite some time, it isnt as if he will be asking for a raise anytime soon(ha, a raise from 25 million a year). I dont know if Boras prevents clients from being traded to the White Sox, he just prevents them from signing or re-signing with the White Sox. And this isnt me saying I want A-rod, because I have honestly become disillusioned with A-rod in the past 2 years. Especially in the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course...if you look around, I started, or at least I think I did, the talk about ARod a few days ago. He'd be a great fit for this team, to be honest.

knightni Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Garcia, Fields, Crede and Broadway for ARod, Matsui and 20mil would be great. Yanks don't need Matsui, they have Sheffield and Abreu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I'd offer them Crede and Garcia to start the negotiations. If you acquire A-Rod, get him to play 3B for 2007, and then SS for the years ahead, when Uribe's contract is done and Fields is definitely ready to play 3B. I'd get him more seasoning down at AAA. QUOTE(knightni @ Oct 8, 2006 -> 11:29 AM) Garcia, Fields, Crede and Broadway for ARod, Matsui and 20mil would be great. Yanks don't need Matsui, they have Sheffield and Abreu. I doubt Sheffield will be back next season, think his contract is up, not sure if they have an option on him or not though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would the Yankees want Vazquez back? He sucked there. He sucked in Arizona and he sucked here. The Yankees have had a big problem bringing in high priced pitchers that suck ... and then some that don't even play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAfan Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 The Yankee fans are ready to ride A-Rod out of town on a rail. But I can't believe Yankee management is going to be willing to part with him. In 2006, he had an off season, and still had a .914 OPS. The year before, he was third in baseball in OPS. If I were the Sox, I'd make an offer -- Garcia, Fields, Broadway sounds about right (I don't suppose they would have any use for Uribe, would they?) -- but I wouldn't hold my breath. The Yankees would probably want Buehrle, and as bad as he was this year for us, there's no way I would ship him off to NY. So, fantasize all you want. It's the offseason for us (and the Yankees). But don't expect A-Rod to get moved anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beck72 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 A rod will be dealt. The Angels will have the pieces to get him. The sox should go after Orlando Cabrera. Parting with Crede for Arod fills one hole and leaves a gaping one at 3B. Fields isn't ready for 162 games in the pros for a playoff contender.
