With Davis signed, Trumbo, Mancini and/or Walker are trade bait

[crowmst3k!]

Walker and Wright to the Braves for Markakis

And cash.

I would keep Trumbo. Davis provides protection in the OF. Trumbo himself is an option if necessary. I don't think Walker has any value and keep Mancini and see what happens.

[Ohfan67]

I don't think Givens is available for a reasonable price.

You are probably correct.

[Beef Supreme]

Signing Parra allows them to trade one of their OFers for pitching or prospects. Trumbo doesn't help them.

They could use Trumbo -- since it's only for a year -- to pretend they are making a legit run, while only spending $9MM. They'd still save @ $9MM for this season.

Trade: Trumbo, Mike Wright, choice of Walker/Rickard for Cargo (I don't believe his is really "off the table' for this winter). I would take that chance.

LF Kim

3B Machado

1B Davis

CF Jones

RF Cargo

2B Schoop

DH Paredes/Reimold

C Weiters/Joseph

SS Hardy

Looks good to me.

Carlos Gonzalez is not being traded this offseason. Neither is Trumbo.

Betcha a penny Cargo gets dealt somewhere.

Though you are probably correct about Trumbo.

So it's Wright, Rickard, Walker for Cargo...

Betcha a penny Cargo gets dealt somewhere.

He was told Friday by ownership that he would not be traded this offseason.

[Can_of_corn]

He was told Friday by ownership that he would not be traded this offseason.

Loria told players to go ahead and buy a house.

Loria. Liar.

[Beef Supreme]

I am aware. It's a red herring. We all have both seen media reports that were contradicted by fact within days. Cargo gets traded before February.

[LookinUp]

Who's playing RF in the current pencil lineup? Reimold or Alvarez? Maybe Rickard, who's really supposed to be a LF/CF?

Seems to me that one of Reimold or Alvarez could be added to the OP list of trade fodder for a LH hitting RFer.

Sure wish we gave Aoki a contract.

[Tx Oriole]

With Davis as an Oriole of 7 years, the O's only need a backup 1B which according to reports Kim can handle.

The O's don't need a 9.15m DH. Not with Pedro Alvarez on the market for 4-5m.

First Basemen of the future, Mancini and Walker now probably have that future with other clubs. Davis has them blocked.

Dan will probably used these players to upgrade the starting pitching and maybe right field.

I think he may do that.

[Number5]

Loria. Liar.

Pants on fire?
