Q & A with MacPhail

It wasn't a joke. I'm assuming the Mets are serious about signing Arod, in which case they'd be willing to move Wright.

Wright would move to second if AROD is signed...

The only place they'd move Wright would be 1st or 2nd base. Wright is there to stay...

[Sports Guy]

Snider, Rios, Burnett, Milledge, Gomez, Pelfrey and Heilman

Bedard, Ramon, D Hernandez and BRob

These are all the names of top guys you would figure could be in a blockbuster for each of these teams.

If you are the Orioles and you trade Bedard to the Jays, you have to strip the Jays of Snider IMO...He is their best prospect, so you must hurt them since you are doing it within the division.

Hmmm...I guess that's true. They'd have to unload Delgado though.

There is probably a 75% greater chance we trade Markakis than the Mets trading Wright.

Ok, it was nice to dream.

[Rockbird]

So...which team would be willing to take on a vet 1st baseman like Delgado, who we can pull into this and make it a FOUR way!?

Yeah... to first base. They're not trading a 25 year old (by opening day, that is) young superstar who's already established himself as a team leader and face of the franchise and is signed to an extremely reasonable contract for several more years.

[JTrea81]

Hmmm...I guess that's true. They'd have to unload Delgado though.

I'd be willing to take Delgado back in a deal depending on what we would get back. The guy still had decent stats away from Shea...

[Rockbird]

Hey, guys, think there's a chance we could get David Wright back in a trade with the Mets?

[TonySoprano]

Sure. Santa Claus will bring him to town in his sleigh.

1 step forward, 2 back....Would the Angels be interested in him? Delgado and Tejada for Kotchman, Wood, Santana and Adenhart?

[bej6789]

who's david hernandez?

[Boy Howdy]

In that case, you need to put the bottle down. Wright isn't going anywhere, except maybe a new position.

Same goes for Reyes, who came up in somebody's scenario a few pages back

Delgado is a good stopgap option that would be more productive than Millar IMO. He'd be fine on the last year of his deal. I don't see any young first baseman besides Loney or Conor Jackson that we could go after and I think they are saving a spot for Tex if he wants to come here. If we get Pie for Tejada and then do this blockbuster, Rios would be coming our way but then there is no place for Rios and Milledge in the same outfield so I have no idea how this works, unless Pie is going to be spun somewhere else...
