Indians, Pirates discussing Bay deal

[BigbadB]

Cubs get: Khalil Greene, Damaso Marte

Padres get: Jason Bay, Ryan Theriot

Pirates get: Chase Headley, Michael Barrett, Sean Marshall, Felix Pie, and Padres P prospect.

Padres probably ask for a little more, but that seems like a good trade.

 

Here we are again, doing all of Hendry's work.

They should just hire us to be the GM. Things would be a little easier.

As long as it isn't the "us" that wants to start Theriot at SS.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said the Indians' last offer to the Pirates included Franklin Gutierrez, Cliff Lee, Kelly Shoppach and a minor leaguer for Jason Bay and Ronny Paulino and was turned down.

 

According to the report, the decision, made jointly through the entire chain of command, was that the value for Bay was not enough.

Padres get: Xavier Nady, Jack Wilson

Pirates get: Chase Headley, Michael Barrett, Sean Gallagher, Ronny Cedeno, Eric Patterson

The Padres are geting screwed in that deal. Giving up Greene, Headley, and Barrett for a platoon outfielder and an average shortstop?

Let's add in Jack Morris to the Padres and the Pirates save a ton of money in the deal.

You mean Matt Morris? And I really don't see what use the Padres would have for him with their rotation fairly set.

Yeah, I meant Matt Morris. The Padres depth chart on ESPN only lists 4 starters and they have been looking at Prior. They would end up with a good corner OF, a decent replacement at SS, and a decent end-of-the rotation starter. Maybe the Bucs would send Bay instead of Nady, but I doubt it.

The Pirates have been trying to give away Morris with little success.

 

Even if the Padres wanted Nady and Morris, they wouldn't make this deal. They'd rather just trade with the Pirates, because the cost for the 2 of them together would be a lot less than Greene, let alone Headley as well.
