Where's Trade Winds thread?

If we're throwing random ideas, why not the following moves:

 

Quentin to Braves for Beachy

Jackson to highest bidder for prospects, those prospects to Cubs for Ramirez

Viciedo called up, Morel sent down

 

New team:

LF Pierre

SS Ramirez

1B Konerko

3B Ramirez

RF Viciedo

C Pierzynski

2B Beckham

DH Dunn

CF Rios

 

IF Vizquel

OF Lillibridge

UT Teahen

C Flowers

 

#1 Buerhle

#2 Humber

#3 Danks

#4 Floyd

#5 Beachy/Peavy

 

CL Santos

SU Thornton

SU Crain

RP Sale

RP Peavy/Beachy

RP Ohman

RP Bruney

 

Better offense and better bullpen. Rotation may or may not be better, but that's cause you're going from a six man to a five man rotation. Overall, I think these moves make us better this year and give another young starter to build around in the future.

Do you really want to pay Aramis Ramirez $16 million next season? No thanks.

Of course not, but I think he'd be willing to waive the option to come across town. Otherwise, I don't make the deal.

 

Gotcha. I guess it's possible, since he seems adamant about staying in Chicago, especially for his family. I don't know if the Sox have any prospects the Cubs would want anyway, but that's another discussion.

He's already repeatedly been reported to be uninterested in being traded.

So did D Lee last season for the exact same reasons(family). Then an actual playoff team came calling and magically D Lee left town.

 

 

If the deal is right, ARam will agree to it. He doesnt want to go to Anaheim only to watch the Rangers run away with it

Weren't the same things said about Derek Lee? Sometimes when an actual trade is agreed upon, a player will change his tune about not wanting to leave. If I had to guess, Ramirez would be willing to play for us, because he wouldn't have to move his family until he found a long-term home in the off-season. Plus it would give him a chance to win and possibly improve his value in free agency. Obviously some guys are stubborn, but there are too many reasons not to accept a trade to us in this case.

Yeah, this is exactly right IMO.

BUT, this doesnt tell me he would accept a deal to play for the Sox. IMO the Yankees make more sense for him right now with Arod being out for a month and a half(if not more)

So that he can then be on the bench when the playoffs roll around?

him and arod can rotate at dh, 3rd. there are plenty of optiions should he go to nyy

So that Jorge Posada goes to the bench?

 

Might make sense from a pure numbers perspective, but I wouldn't want to have my at bats dependent on the Yankees willingness to bench Posada.
