Dusty to Arizona?

[imb]

We would have to add in someone incredibly significant to get that deal done. Williams for Quentin straight up gets Hendry laughed off the phone.

Is Quentin capable of playing CF? Murton, Quentin, Giles....

"Dusty to Arizona?"

 

Personally, that's not far enough. But, I'd trade Dusty, Neifi and Macias to Arizona for a bag of desert sand.

 

Here is a question or a possibility. Has there ever been a trade for managers or a manager for a player in the 125 yr. history of MLB? If not can we make it a precednt with Dusty to AZ. for some good salsa.

Can managers be traded? I seem to remember Pineilla getting traded to Tampa, but I'm not exactly sure.

 

Yes, Piniella was traded to Tampa, sort of:

In a move initially reported during the World Series but not officially confirmed until Monday, the Mariners released manager Lou Piniella from his contract so he could return home to Tampa and skipper the Devil Rays. As expected, Seattle received all-star outfielder Randy Winn as compensation—but Tampa Bay also received a player, infield prospect Antonio Perez.

Prior to this the A's and Pirates made a deal involving Chuck Tanner:

 

1976:

He spent a year piloting Oakland before Charley Finley traded him to Pittsburgh for Manny Sanguillen and $100,000. Chuck Finley making a strange deal, who would have thought?

The latest rumor circulating the beltway has President Bush ready to name a new head of FEMA. Dusty Baker is expected to be appointed at the end of the baseball season. One anonymous source from NSBB has stated he is the perfect choice, as he has a few years experience in managing disasters. The Feds are likely to offer compensation of a budget cut to be named later.

This has as much credibility as the other rumors. Dusty isn't going anywhere.
