League Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 http://soxblog.projo.com/2009/07/dodgers-now-fro.html Please shop Dye, Konerko and Alexei, Kenny. This is insane. First Alderson for Sanchez, now Yonder Alonso for Scott Rolen?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 If this is true, the Reds are beyond dumb... I'm with Fathom, sell high now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Guys this isn't true. Come on, common sense tells us it isn't true. I know Alderson just went for Sanchez but Sanchez is a superior player at this point than Rolen. They play different positions and Rolen clearly has the better career but Sanchez has more good years left. And if teams are really giving up these type of prospects right now, well than lets sell Jermaine Dye for Yonder Alonso and pronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 yep, I can't believe what I'm seeing. I doubt it would be Rolen for Yonder straight up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 http://twitter.com/elliottbaseball/status/2934039889 "Looks like Rolen to Reds has a "good chance" of getting done" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 No way it is Alonso for Rolen straight up. And if so I really really really think the Sox need to consider moving Dye, Thome, and maybe even Alexei. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 If the reds are trading Alonso for Rolen, they better be getting another prospect in return, as well as more than half of Rolen's contract. This is absurd. I'd be all over a Dye for Alonso deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine what Konerko would bring in in that kind of market, or hell, if teams are getting this loose with prospects, offer Alexei to Boston for Lars and Bowden.

Neither the Cards nor the Cubs are exactly great teams. I guess they figure that they can contend. Edited July 30, 2009 by League Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumpkin Escobar Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 If it's Alonso - I'll laugh. Horrible deal for them and why wouldn't we have dumped Dye on them already - take fields too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be stunned if Reds finish within 12 games of the Cards/Cubs this year. That team is done, and probably should shut down Cueto sometime soon.

Pumpkin Escobar Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Sounding like it isn't Alonso - which if that is the case. Go get him. Unless they want to dump Votto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Reds Back Off Rolen Deal By Tim Dierkes [July 30 at 4:13pm CST] 4:13pm: ESPN's Peter Gammons says the Reds "backed off a potential deal" for Rolen. The Reds are actually hoping to move some contracts, and will listen on Bronson Arroyo, David Weathers, Aaron Harang, and Arthur Rhodes. Plus there's the issue of the Jays not wanting to trade Rolen if they keep Halladay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are more GM's who passed on Beckham who would trade their pick straight up for him right now. In fact, maybe all of them.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) Almost as ridiculous as the Kershaw for Lee 'proposed' deal. Never bought this crap for a second. Edited July 31, 2009 by Jordan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 So when Rolen is out most of next year with and injury will JP lose his job for not selling high on him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
