Abreu at the deadline?

[NorthsideAvenger]

If the Cubs don't get their heads out of each others booty, I won't matter should the Cubs try for Abreu, it would be what can the Cubs get for Maddux, Walker, Pierre, and perhaps Hairston.

I also think that he could become a free agent at the end of the year if he is traded in the middle of a multi-year contract, but I'm not sure about that.

Actually, what he could do is demand another trade. If that demand isn't met, then he can become a free agent.

There is no way Philly can get anything near equal value for Abreu. If Philly continues to slide out of contention (WC too) by June. I'd see what Philly wants.

 

I'd give them Jones and pay at least half his salary. I also think that he could become a free agent at the end of the year if he is traded in the middle of a multi-year contract, but I'm not sure about that.

 

I also give them a pick of any two of Guzman, Marshall, and Hill.

 

Jones for half price (for one year if I'm correct) and two cheap #2/3 starters is more than enough for Abreu plus his huge contract.

 

If they want Pie, no deal. Pierre won't play for the Cubs next year, if he continues at his current level of production.

 

I would like to ammend this post and say any one of Guzman, Marshall, or Hill. I think giving up two of them would be too much. I would however, give them E. Patterson or Dope, or some other top position prospect.

Im guilty of this as well at times, but thats mad crazy homerism.

Dope doesn't seem like he'd be a good fit in Philly. The Cubs are probably shopping him pretty hard since Lee is here for five more years and I haven't heard any news about Dope playing another position. For that same reason, I couldn't see the Phillies being interested in Dope.

Dope's value is at its lowest, I sure hope they dont sell on him now
