Balta1701 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 QUOTE (BaseballNick @ Dec 5, 2008 -> 11:55 AM) Does Brian Roberts really cost that much? If he cost less than that he would have been traded already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 The Orioles would surely like a middle infielder as well, and the Sox have a glut of them at this point, even if some or most of them aren't good. One of them would go to Baltimore as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people need to realize thats why Roberts wasnt traded last season and probably wont this season. The Cubs offer last season was probably better than the stuff mentioned on here so far this offseason, and the Cubs werent really that close. A similar package that was offered up for Roberts bought the Cubs Rich Harden. The O's undoubtedly would ask for Alexei in any deal for Roberts at which point their conversation is over.

Which is funny, because unless the Orioles resign him, which is certainly a possibility, they'll get two draft picks for him. The fact of the matter is though that he's one of the best 2Bman in the game, Angelo knows that, and they're going to get top notch value for him if they does deal him.

Kenny Hates Prospects Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Jenks and a lower level prospect to the Brewers for Carlos Villanueva and Lorenzo Cain Then Konerko to the Giants or A's and Dye for starting pitching prospects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 QUOTE (G&T @ Dec 5, 2008 -> 07:03 AM) KW's idea of a 1 or 2 is different than most people's idea. He'll take 1 or 2 potential. Last year he called Floyd and Danks 1 and 2...and everyone laughed. I didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Jason Marquis for 4th/5th starter anyone? Wittenmyer adds that the Cubs would be willing to eat as much as $4MM of Jason Marquis' $9.875MM salary to move him. If the Cubs were to add Jake Peavy after that, they'd be around $138MM. They could then squeeze in their coveted left-handed hitting outfielder. source, mlbtraderumors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruz/Thornton/Linebrink, closer by committee (unless one emerges). I don't think we'd touch Juan Cruz due to his Type A status and losing the picks...too expensive for a set-up guy, unless you really believe he could step in and be a closer to replace Jenks, which some teams apparently see him as this offseason.
