Is it possible to get Tejada from Baltimore?

[CuseCubFan69]

The O's have struggled to sign free agents and just lost their closer. Is it possible to throw a bunch of prospects to them for Tejada? I would consider that an impact bat. Edited December 4, 2005 by CuseCubFan69

[ChiCubsFan]

I doubt it, but if it were possible, I'd be all over that.

[Careless]

Well, maybe if we traded everyone...

But his contract looks reasonable, he played well last season... I think that might be the most expensive trade in talent ever

[CoolHandLuke]

I don't see it as possible. What amazes me is that Furcal just got a deal that pays him more/same per year as Miggy.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

No. He is the leader and cornerstone of that team.

[Omar]

Maybe Brian Roberts?

That's what made me start thinking of him. I'm curious on what direction the O's are going to go. Boston and NY are going to upgrade as is Toronto. I think this would be a way for the O's to beef up and Pie would be a nice start.

[CuseCubFan69]

Maybe Brian Roberts?

 

He's young and cheap so I don't know if they would deal him.

[CuseCubFan69]

I think that team is in a huge mess right now and IMO Tejada would want to get out. I agree he is their cornerstone but they need a lot of help and he could bring in a lot. Pie, Cedeno, Hill, Guzman would be a very nice start to get a good young team started.

Tejada is signed through 2009. It doesn't matter if he wants to get out or not.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have Tejada, but it's not realistically in the cards. Even in a fantasy baseball scenario, he costs us Z or Prior, which I find unacceptable. He's not going to be had for Pie and some other prospects.

[WrigleyinEngland]

Is it worth loking to detroit for Maggs? i know its a huge risk but if they pay some cash this could have the biggest upside of any deal we make.

I know that I'm probably alone in this but I would trade Prior for Tejada.

I'd rather go for Drew.

I like this Idea. Lets just assume that Pie, Hill, Cedeno, and Guzman would get it done. Would you pull the trigger on that deal?

I would and I think that Baltimore might too. Maybe they will see how Florida reloads and understand that may be a way to catch the Yanks and Boston.

Sure, but there's no way that would get it done. I don't think Guzman has any value any more. Perhaps Pinto, but I'm guessing Baltimore would want Z and one of Pie or Hil plus Cedeno. Would you pull the trigger on that deal?

No way I give up Z AND Pie for anyone. period. Unless its Arod and the yanks pay 100% of his contract.

I would do it too, assuming baltimore would.

What did Florida get for Beckett? How about Delgado? I think that the Cubs have the right package of young players to satisfy the O's.

Oh I'd do it for Pujols...and pick up most of his contract to boot...

[Bluescale]

The difference is that Baltimore has shown no signs of going into full blown rebuilding mode.

They have a new GM and they let Ryan go. I would like to see the Cubs be proactive and help get the O's in that mode by making a nice offer for Tejada before other teams can even get involved.

I'd like to see that too, but do you really think hendry would think of that? Then again, Tejada CAN catch the ball......

Add to that he stays healthy unlike what the Cubs had last year.

 

Also, if the O's have a bad contract maybe the Cubs can take that on too.

Hmm....Somebody drop a bug in hendry's ear.
