ZoomSlowik Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Griffey is the only guy that makes sense. It's gotta be someone with a monster contract that the Yankees can eat, because they're short on solid minor leaguers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 10, 2006 -> 10:17 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bronson Arroyo. I find it hard to believe that Arroyo would be involved. He hasn't performed like he did at the beginning of the year as of late, but he's signed relatively cheaply for the next three years.

quickman Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I think buster olney seems like a nice guy, but is he ever right? he just posted two potential deals in the last few hours. I realize its heating up out there, but he may want to be a bit more specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their starting OF in the last game before the break was Melky Cabrera, the ancient Bernie Williams, and Kevin Thompson. Sheffield might be out for the year, and Matsui could take a while to get back on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A joke that has been played out so thoroughly on this website that everyone should instantly recognize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I find it hard to believe that the Reds would trade one of their best starters, when the main weakness on that team is pitching. By trading Griffey, they can open up a spot for Denforia and save a lot of $$$$ which they can then put into some more pitching from FA. I have a feeling Carl Pavano could possibly be involved, if the Yanks paid some of his deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is that it's probably going to be hard to trade him while on the DL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackie hayes Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 So Griffey by himself makes this a "huge" deal? A waning great who gets injured every single year? Only to ESPN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would obviously be big in terms of salary and names. But the Griffey rumors have been around for years, now. When I hear that a trade will be "huge", I expect to be surprised. I'm not too surprised that the Reds would trade one of the biggest disappointments in many years to the only team in the majors willing to pay his salary, jmho.

Wedge Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 But where do the Yankees play Spring Ball? Wouldn't that impact if Griffey accepts the trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play in Florida, which is also where the Reds play and where Griff wants to spend his March's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 It would be Dunn that the Reds are giving up. The Yankees need a LF, with Matsui being out. If they trade Dunn, they'd likely try to get Phillip Hughes and another big prospect in a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jul 11, 2006 -> 04:38 AM) Trading Dunn is ridiculously stupid. Actually, the Reds have longed been rumored to want to trade him. They feel Griffey Jr. is too important to keep around, as he's a great leader in the clubhouse, and gives them instant star power. With him getting closer to some impressive HR records, I don't blame them for keeping him around. The Reds have enough power without Dunn, and if they can load up on pitching prospects for him, they'd be smart to trade him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
