Padres/Sox talking adrian gonzales

[ZoomVT]

per Heyman from SI:

pods want bucholz, lowrie, masterson, westmoreland, and lars anderson.

lol. i expect theo to say: GFYMYSOBMFPOS, or something along those lines.

Read that too, lol. As much as Id love to have AG and the help he would be now and the future, this would be a dumb trade.

[ZoomVT]

agreed. we should have a trade deadline day for all the trades.

[ZoomVT]

now they are saying sox discussing with seattle for king Felix

[huscroft6]

Yea but so did like 4 other teams, and M's obv said no. BUt hes another guy who is only under contract for like 1 more year? And you KNOW he will be getting HUGE money from NY or Bos or either LA team etc etc. Prob traded next year

[rjb1816]

i doubt they trade adrian this year...will be next season most likely

[ZoomVT]

i always liked him, wouldnt mind getting him.

i just read pirates willing to trade Duke and Maholm lol. WTF, i bet you could probably get the groundskeeper on a trade too.

[huscroft6]

I doubt they do either if thats what they would need to get

[ZoomVT]

i would do that trade for Halladay, Rios, and Scutaro. Dont like Rios contract but im sure we could flip him at end of year.

[huscroft6]

Wont happen but Id LOVE to get HAlladay and Scutaro, but it wont happen. Id like Victor too and prob get him for Bucholz and a lesser propsect or two

[rjb1816]

they are just putting the asking price way high and then would come down. AG is a gold glover too so his value is pretty crazy, but sales are already way down from last year so I doubt they just torch all fan support and trade their best player

no shit thats alot to give up imo

[huscroft6]

Not disagreeing about AG, great glove, in his prime etc etc. BUt SD gets no interest at games anyway, Im not sure what trading him would affect. Im just not sure PAdre fans go to the game to solely see him, at least not any significant amount. NOw if they got that package they have a handful of good to possibly very good young players. 2 guys who could go right into their rotation, one with great stuff and 24. Masterson 21 and has already proved he can do it when it counts as well as starting and relieving. Im not big on Lowrie personally and Lars is highly thought of but hasnt shown it. BUt supposedly Westmoreland could be a stud, he's what every team wants in a deal.

I guess we'll see

[upinya83]

is this the trade deadline in game?

[rjb1816]

well attendance is down 20% from last year...and that was with a 100 loss team a year ago. things can always get worse and he is the only marketable name besides peavy and he's very cheap for his production. i think next year he gets dealt or in the offseason, heath bell is the one i think goes today...i wouldnt mind trading both and getting good prospects
