Dick Allen Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 (edited) Why would Cincinatti want Konerko? Plus they already have too many outfielders, why would they want Sweeney? Why would Philadelphia want Contreras instead of Wagner? Edited July 23, 2005 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwolfson Posted July 23, 2005 Author Share Posted July 23, 2005 QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 23, 2005 -> 11:19 AM) Why would Cincinatti want Konerko? Plus they already have too many outfielders, why would they want Sweeney? Why would Philadelphia want Contreras instead of Wagner? Cincy is looking to unload anything and getting rid of Griffey saves them money and Konerko is a free agent after this year so they will let go of him saving even more money and Sweeney is just thrown in to help their Minor League system -- they want to get very young so we'll give them a AA guy. Philly wants Starting Pitcher... They are no longer in the hunt so there working on building for the next few years with their rotation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 As much as I'm ready to see Konerko leave the Sox, the first trade, I'm iffy on. I like where we stand as an offense, I know all the numbers don't really impress, but they're getting the hits when they need to. I like the idea of the 2nd trade though. You can never have enough pitching, and Wagner would be a solid addition to the bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That funky motion Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 If we were to take Griffey's contract,I dont think we would have to trade anyone from the minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I would trade McCarthy for Burnett, then flip him for Wagner. If the Reds would take Konerko straight up for Griffey I would do it, but I doubt they would. We'd have to add a prospect for them to add money, but that part could be worked out.

nitetrain8601 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 You wouldn't have to give up that much for Griffey. I'm telling you that as a Cincy Red fan. PK for Griffey is what I have proposed. They want to get rid of Casey, but it they can't, they at least get rid of most of Griffey's contract. And I'm holding on to Contreras over McCarthy or El Duque. We could probably trade BMac and another midlevel guy for Burnett and flip him into Wagner. That would be my best case scenario, but I don't see KW making any moves(for once, even though I think he should) that's going to make a difference at all.

RibbieRubarb Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 (edited) You would replace Konerko for Griffey, then put someone at 1st who has only played there ONCE in their career for the stretch run?? Bad moves... MVP Baseball logic Edited July 23, 2005 by RibbieRubarb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Hmmm, no. PK is not needed in Cincy and why would we want McCarthy as a 5th starter since many claim he is not ready yet??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
