CSF Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Saw a couple of different message boards (not the greatest sources to begin with) saying the Mets have agreed, in principle to trade to KC: Scott Kazmir Mike Jacobs Orber Moreno Danny Garcia In return, the Mets will get Carlos Beltran, who would sign some 7 yr deal worth like 94 million and would also move to RF (or I guess he would stay in center and Mike Cameron would move to RF) Could be legit, could be BS. It'll be interesting to see if anything comes of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSoxShuf Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 bulls***. Though they do have a backup for Beltran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSoxShuf Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Please give me some of these "links" to the message boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkokieSox Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I guess it's possible, but why would KC do that when they feel they have a legitmate chance at the division. In order for that even being a possibility, they will need Beltran. Although they need pitching, and this could help them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Hudler Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Didn't Orber Moreno originally come up with the Royals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 If the Mets wouldn't trade Kazmir for Soriano, I'd doubt they'd trade him for Beltran either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 If the Mets wouldn't trade Kazmir for Soriano, I'd doubt they'd trade him for Beltran either. Along with those other 3 too. Maybe it's because they weren't sure if they could get Soriano long term, but know they can get Beltran long term? Personally, I would just wait till the offseason, and then sign him, but do as you please I suppose. Oh and Rex, I hope this answers your question about Orber Mareno. Hi, I'm Orber Mareno, and WSF is so cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I'm Orber Mareno, and WSF is so cool! Don't worry he'll be wearin Pin Stripes in 2005 as their new CF. Don't think Ol Steiny will settle for Bernie Williams on his last legs.

I dislike Steinbrenner so much that it is no longer funny. But I don't think he does that. He signed Lofton to a 2-year deal and IIRC, Lofton is playing CF, with Williams DHing.

Although I hope Beltran ends up on a team that really needs him like the Dodgers for the sake of baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 :fyou Dont post these trade rumors with no validity. Why not? It makes for some interesting discussion, at times. He also listed his source, so that speaks to the validity level of the rumor. In this case, you take it with a grain of salt, but can still discuss the pros and cons.

southsider2k5 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 :fyou Dont post these trade rumors with no validity. Dude, what is your problem? There was no where in there were he said it was done deal, and going to happenb. He purposefully prefaced it as a rumor. People speculate on rumors here all of the time. There is no need to be an asshole about something that goes on all of the time here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see if anything comes of it. I can't see the Royals trading Beltran right now when they have a legit shot of winning this division. Now, if they are out of the race come July then I see them shipping him out of KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSoxShuf Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Sorry for the :fyou I am beginning to feel like the Red Wings fan in Detroit. KC fans are driving me nutgs with their bulls*** talk. I apoligize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
