I mean, I'd be totally cool with St. Louis trading the guy who arguably is the heart and soul of their team for a starter who's fallen from great to average/decent during the course of this year...I just don't see it happening.SportsAndLady;1479636 wrote:Very smart thinking of you!

He is pitching. Mediocrely. Porcelain-Boy just got off the DL and would have given 7 good innings with 118 pitches, except for the 2-3 home runs he gave up during that outing. But with how teams aren't willing to trade right now, he might be the biggest and best name on the market. The White Sox are asking for A LOT.wes_mantooth;1479676 wrote:Rumor floating around that the Tribe is getting Jake Peavy
And yeah...I am starting this rumor. I have no source and I don't even know if Peavy is pitching anymore.

Rasmus is a 25-year old reliever who was up earlier this year, pitched in 3 games, allowed 6 runs and hasn't been up since. He's not at all a highly-regarded prospect.
Maybe prices are coming down a bit?

He's definitely been around. Seems strange considering I saw on Twitter yesterday that the Giants reportedly want an MLB ready SP they can put in their rotation for just Javier Lopez.
I liked Pujols even tho he was a card, always liked Hamilton and great to see young talent come into the league (trout) but I do find it funny that the LAA are flopping. Any time a team goes on a big time spending spree and way, way overpays I instantly hope they collapseMidstate01;1479740 wrote:Angels are in full on sell mode. Plus anything to shed a little salary, theyre probably all for that.

I'm a huge Pence fan, mostly due to the Paleo following and contributions in the Bay Area. I know others can't stand him. Not sure how the salaries would work, but you would think just inquiring on him would indicate the Reds may be willing to add some payroll. Obviously they know he is already signed long-term...
I would like them to keep Choo, but doesn't he have one of those asshole agents that are going to be asking for the moon?Azubuike24;1479860 wrote:Correction, Pence is a FA. Maybe it's a get him and Choo and then discuss trying to retain either one? You would get compensation for either, and they will already likely get it for Arroyo.
He does, and will be almost impossible to keep, unless the team is willing to up the payroll considerably.thavoice;1480235 wrote:I would like them to keep Choo, but doesn't he have one of those asshole agents that are going to be asking for the moon?
