GreatScott82 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Cubs/Red Sox/Mariners Trade Possible A reliable source told me today about a three-way deal that is "imminent." It's always risky to throw around "imminent," but I'm just quoting him here. Here's the scenario: BOS gives: Bronson Arroyo, Tony Graffanino, PTBNL BOS gets: Jeremy Reed, Will Ohman CHC gives: Corey Patterson, Ohman CHC gets: Raul Ibanez, Graffanino, cash SEA gives: Reed, Ibanez, cash SEA gets: Arroyo, Patterson, PTBNL Makes sense for Seattle, they want to beef up there pitching (although Arroyo is not that good) and Patterson is worth the gamble. Makes sense for Boston, they get a player with tons of potential in Reed. Makes NO sense for the sCrubs. Where would Ibanez play LF? He's nothing special, and what would Graff do platoon with Walker? I hope for Graffs sake he doesn't get traded there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do, however when you site a fan message board as an outlet for a "source" for a trade IMO you lose all credibility. Think of all the bogus trade crap and wishful thinking that goes on message boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty unreliable and a pretty far-fetched rumor IMO. Still, Boston is in desperate need of a CF, and the odds are Dusty still doesn't want to play Murton or Pie in the OF, so it's at least plausible. If I were the Cubs I'd make sure to get some money along with that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshPR Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Tony Graffanino was just resigned as a free agent I think. So they can't trade him untill June 15th. Nice try MLBtraderumors.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedoctor Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 i've never visited this site prior to today, but it reminds me a lot of that profootballtalk.com site in the sense that it's a total joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
