When are we moving Jaque to Make room for Pie in CF?

No team can afford to lose (or alternatively add) guys on the 25 man roster. That's just not going to happen.

 

What do you mean by this? Teams make 2 for 1, 3 for 1 and 3 for 2 type trades every year. Pretty much every team has roster flexibility, where they can option somebody out, release guys or make call-ups if they make a deal that is not 1 for 1.

Yeah but let's face it, no team is going to give us anything for Jones, Izturis, Eyre and Miller as a package deal. I think people need to start being realistic about trades.

I was being sarcastic about packaging all 4 players, but I do think Jones, Izturis, and Eyre in 2 or 3 separate trades should be able to get us a decent backup middle IF and a decent prospect or two. I still believe somewhere sometime there is a market for Jones. Izturis might be of interest for a team that suffers an injury at SS. As for Eyre, he's a left-handed relief pitcher and there's always a market for them, even if they're crappy. The real question becomes when the timing is right.
