R.J. Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 That Quentin to Seattle deal is ludicrous. The value of players like Silva and Washburn is negative. They're expensive rotation options that are not very good. If they were free agents in this market they would be out of work - instead they're guaranteed an insane amount of money.

iamshack Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Could have been the Twins that were talking to the Mariners, as they were rumored to have interest in Washburn as well as supposedly interested in moving Delmon Young. However, they would have also been trying to move some salary to the Mariners in any swap for Washburn, and that is where the talks probably fell apart. What a terrible, terrible report.

Dick Allen Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 This rumor was actually about Delmon Young. Somehow it became Quentin. Neither trade will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably bantered back and forth and then said, no it won't work. Meanwhile this guy's "source" overheard the names and said there were discussions. All of which was acurrate. However, if he's a responsible journalist and not just trying to scoop eveyone, he would haver sat back and thought, "this may have been discussed but it can't actually happen in this form."

Click on the "journalist"s name and check him out a sec. He is a mariners fanboy with a blog, not a journalist. This rumor is akin to a Cubs fan going to all of their favorite sites and then posting "Jake Peavy may be traded to the Cubs for Josh Vitters straight up......It Could Happen!", because that is what he did.

103 mph screwball Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I wonder if the Mariners are on Dye's no trade list. Maybe there's a deal possible with them but not for TCQ. I think KW would trade TCQ if he were to get the right package and that package would have to begin with MLB proven stud starting pitching with lots of years before free agency. In other words, not very likely to happen. Why would you give up one of the best young hitters in baseball for guys like Washburn when there are cheap free agent pitchers available. If this rumor is not complete bs, then they must mean a trade around Dye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 That is honestly probably the most stupid trade proposal I've ever seen on SoxTalk, and that's saying something, being a part of this site for almost 6 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
