Is This a Realistic Trade Scenario for Zito?

[HoopsCubs]

- Cubs trade Todd Walker and Todd Wellemeyer to the Mets for Kaz Matsui, Aaron Heilman and some cash.

 

- Cubs trade Corey Patterson and Matsui to the Mariners for Jeremy Reed.

 

- Cubs trade Heilman, Reed and Rich Hill to Oakland for Barry Zito and Jay Payton.

i can't see the mariners giving up reed for matsui and patterson.

i can't see the mariners giving up reed for matsui and patterson.

 

Actually I can't see them giving up Aaron Heilman for that.

well if they want to get rid of Matsui they are going to have give a team some incentive.

Yeah but Heilman? Plus he's throwing in cash for Matsui.

For someone one year from free agency that's by no means an ace, Barry Zito is criminally overvalued.

Depends on the value the Mets consider Walker to have. He's quite an upgrade over their current situation.

[jtownie]

question. would it be better to keep Reed and include Murton instead? Just wondering what anyone's thoughts are on that.

I like the idea of adding Matsui, Would we spin Zito, others for Tejeada? I can't see us keeping Payton.

Barry Zito is criminally overvalued.

Barry Zito is criminally overvalued.

Haha, and imagine all the fangirls if Zito were to become a Cub. Wrigley would turn into 90% 14 year old girls.

Okay...l'm on board...

 

Kidding, kidding.

I like the idea of adding Matsui, Would we spin Zito, others for Tejada?

 

Well, you read my mind, that was my next question. Could we spin Zito and Dopirak into Tejada?

 

I can't see us keeping Payton.

 

I kind of saw him as the righty platoon partner for Jacque Jones.

we can only dream that dusty platoon Jones.

[TheDude]

I don't see the Mets or Mariners realistically giving up either Heilman or Reed at this point unless the returns equal a critical piece of the puzzle.
