What Trades Do You Want To See Happen?

[guineapirates]

Well, the trade deadline is about 2 days away now and I am curious to see who gets moved.  Who do you think will get moved? Who do you want to see moved and to where?

I'll go first:

I'd love to see the Mariners get Jon Lester from the Red Sox for a case of Charleston Chew and the rotting carcass of Corey Hart.

[Vroom14]

I'd love for the Tigers to pull off another trade for a good reliever, perhaps Antonio bestardo or tony sipp. I hope the Jose Iglesias rumors are false, and Detroit isn't entertaining the thought of trading him

[just28]

I hope the rays drop their price on zobrist a bit and the giants trade some minor leaguers for him.

[jamminj]

i would love to see the braves trade for someone like david price.

[ZWHEELER44]

The one I don't want to happen:

Mets get:

Troy Tulowitzki, SS

Rockies get:

Noah Syndergaard, SP
Dilson Herrera, 2B/SS
Brandon Nimmo, OF
Steven Matz, LHP

I would love to see the Jays get Price and Zobrist, solve two problems at once. Then I woke up.

As a fellow Mets fan, is it because you don't want Tulo, or because you don't want to give up all of the young talent?  Personally, I would love to have Tulo, I just wonder if it's too much to give up although as much as I love Syndergaard, with the wealth of promising young pitching we have I might be willing to give him up in order to get Tulo.  He may get injured a lot, does not necessarily have a huge drop-off in his stats when he plays outside Colorado.  He's certainly a huge upgrade over Tejada and would solidify the top half of the Mets batting order.  He's signed long-term, albeit for a huge, Coors Field inflated price, so you're not trading the talent for a rental.  That being said, unless the Mets are suddenly spending money, I don't see it happening.  Besides, they still have to pay for that horrific Chris Young contract.

I agree that Tulo is an upgrade over Tejada but isn't Wilmer Flores also an upgrade over Tejada. Still Terry doesn't play him so Terry will obviously play Tejada over Tulo a lot. And there is speculation the Rockies probably will ask for Syndergaard plus DeGrom/Wheeler +. I wouldn't be willing to do that. And anyway we all know there is going to be bidding for Giancarlo Stanton soon and he is younger than Tulo and could give us a good hitting outfield. Even if he doesn't have any range, Lagares already gets to everything that isn't smoked. And I would be much more willing to give this package plus more for Stanton since we know he can hit in a big ballpark as he plays in the Marlins' park which is huge. Citi Field is much smaller since the fences were moved in. Tulo plays in the most hitter friendly park in the country and his splits on the road are somewhat different. His baa goes from .306 at home to .256 on the road. And why can't we just cut Chris Young or will we have to do the Bobby Bonilla thing again.

Reds need a bat.

If the price is Syndergaard and DeGrom/Wheeler and more, then I agree, no way.  Just the money we are taking off of their books means we should get a better price than that.  I would love to have Stanton and if Wilmer Flores is going to be able to be the long-term solution than Tulo is nice, but not a necessity.  

God, I hope they don't do the Bobby Bonilla thing again, that is perhaps the dumbest move in the history of contract moves anywhere.  I think if we are really willing to spend money then by all means cut him or trade him for a bag of baseballs and eat the contract.

Id love to see the Jays pick up Lester for Hutchison + Lugo + Baretto + Nolin

[agee1131]

I'd like to see someone trade me a Trout 14 Sig for my White Common Joe Blanton

I'd like to see the Reds go get David Price, won't happen, but I can dream.

I hope they don't get Lester. He would be a rental for a couple months. Lester admitted that he would definetly be interested in returning to boston after this season if he's traded. The Sox will also demand either Sanchez or Stroman. And a deal like Stro, and Nolin or something is too much to give up.

I'd love to see the Yankees NOT trade some prospects away for a 3 month rental of a declining vet.....

Tulo and trout would be good surely all of jeter and riveras retirement gifts pooled together would get both?
