A lot of teams listed there can only be a good thing. Maybe we can get someone semi-interesting.

[UMFan83]

How exciting

[Andy]

Also, call up Baez when the deal is done. :-)

[ddwyer]

I just find it odd that Kansas City is on the list as they waived him earlier this year. Hopefully we can get a useful prospect.

[davell]

I'm thinking he brings back someone that fits into the 25-35 range in our system.

Agreed. Also, weren't the Reds sellers as of earlier today? I know Phillips has been hurt but it seems odd that they would be selling off their parts while picking up a super-utility guy.

I really want Chance Sisco from the O's. I wont if Russell and Bonifacio stand any chance at getting that done.

This would be a good type of deal to add to the upper levels catching depth, possibly give an in-house option for a backup next year so we aren't left with nothing after Baker leaves to be a setup man.

From that standpoint it is odd, but the holes they have to fill based on poor performance/injury have consistently been 2B/3B/RF. I thought it was more odd when they waived him and gave a roster spot to Danny Valencia.

[Banedon]

My level of interest is only as high as the possibility that Baez gets called up to replace him.

Same here.

[Gilby]

Iowa plays a DH starting in just a couple hours. Should be interesting to see that lineup.

Hank Schulman reiterated price is VERY HIGH on Bonifacio. Which is great.

 

I don't remember the circumstances exactly. But KC had just exercised his option, but then signed a FA a few days later and went over their budget, hence, they waived Emilio.

[Neuby]

Gonna be fun to see if Theo pulls off a package deal or sells off Bonifacio and Russell individually.

So you're saying we lost the trade if we don't get like a top 25 overall prospect for Bonny, right?

Lindor or bust. Just to have them all.

I'll be unhappy with anyone other than Buxton. I don't care that the Twins don't need any MLB players right now.

I wasn't even thinking quite that high. Mejia or Stratton from the Guants.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I can't believe the price is very high for Bonifacio.

Levine saying Bonifacio's agent was called earlier today and informed that he wouldn't be in the lineup tonight because of a fluid trade situation.
