How about a 3-Team Blockbuster

[Backtobanks]

Pirates want to dump Sanchez and Wilson to go young. Orioles need MI help and innings eater in the rotation. Cubs need lefty bats and lead off man.

 

Pirates get:

Pie, Cedeno, Marshall, Veal/Hill/Hart, (from Cubs) and Liz (from O's).

Orioles get:

Marquis (plus $5,000,000) (from Cubs), Sanchez, and Wilson (from Pirates).

Cubs get:

BRob (from O's) and McLouth (from Pirates)

 

If the deal needs some tweaking with prospects or cash, so be it.

 

1B - DLee

2B - BRob

SS - Theriot

3B - ARam

LF - Soriano

CF - McLouth

RF - Fukudome/DeRosa

C - Soto

 

Bench:

Johnson

Fontenot

Hoffpauir

Blanco/Hill

Fukudome/DeRosa

Considering what the Orioles were demanding for Roberts last winter, I don't think that has changed a whole lot since then. They're going to want a lot more than that.

I don't see why the Orioles would make that trade. I'd rather have Liz than Marquis. Sanchez and Wilson aren't enough for Roberts.

 

The Orioles are happy to keep Roberts unless someone overpays. If they can't extend him they can trade him at the deadline.

LEAD OFF MAN!

 

 

Ugh.

THIS is what I missed about the offseason. All your 3-way trade proposals.

Quantity almost never equals quality.

[Mephistopheles]

yay more roberts....i think i make end the roberts to the cubs possibility myself...

[JeffH]

Ah, the three-way trade proposal in which our team winds up with the two best players in the deal.

 

It must be November.

Has one of your trade scenarios ever actually happened? I really would like to know.

I didn't get the impression that this was a prediction.

Roberts now has 1 year left on his contract and is 1 year older.

 

I don't see why the Orioles would make that trade. I'd rather have Liz than Marquis. Sanchez and Wilson aren't enough for Roberts.

 

The Orioles are happy to keep Roberts unless someone overpays. If they can't extend him they can trade him at the deadline.

 

If Liz is the problem, pull Liz and put in a different pitching prospect. I'm sure if Roberts is extended, he will have a NTC.

Well, most of the trades that involve the Cubs would have them trading with a team that is rebuilding, so the Cubs would get the "best" players while the other team(s) would get prospects.

Not that I know of, but this would be a great first.

I've proposed a few, but a lot of times it's hard to match up with just one other team. The Peavy discussion right now seems to center on the fact that the Cubs don't have the prospects to get it done alone and probably would need a third team to get involved.

Most trade scenerios never work. Its all nothing more than specualtion.

That's true. I've probably been as accurate as most of the "experts" who are being paid big bucks.
