MLB Mock Trade/Free Agency Thread

[DChess]

***Dont Post In This Thread***

Do not PM any of the trade commish's or me.

email all your free agency offers and trade offers to this address: MLBmockNFLDC@gmail.com

Free Agency will begin when all the teams are filled. Teams will have 2 days to make offers to their free agents and pick up options on players.

[P-L]

I would just like to add that if you'd like to add no-trade clauses or performance bonuses in your contract offer, that is perfectly fine.

Trade #1
Kansas City receives
OF Elijah Dukes

Tampa Bay receives
RHP David Riske

[P-L]

Trade REJECTED

Arizona receives
RHP Brian Bannister

Kansas City receives
OF Carlos Quentin



If Kansas City wants to re-submit this with reasoning we will re-visit this trade. However, with no reasoning provided we cannot see why KC would trade Bannister in a deal like this.

[DChess]

Teams Have Until 5pm tomorrow to try to resign their UFA, after that if unsigned then anybody can go after them. Free Agency will start at 8:01pm tomorrow.

[P-L]

Here are a few signings to hopefully hold you guys over until me and DChess can get together and talk about the rest.

Detroit Tigers
LF Geoff Jenkins - 2 years, $14 million (2010 Team Option: $7 million)
LHP Kenny Rogers - 1 year, $8 million

Tampa Bay Devil Rays
LHP Ray King - 1 year, $1.25 million (2009 Team Option: $1.25 million)

Los Angeles Angels
LHP Mike Maroth - 1 year, $500,000 (Minor League deal)

Baltimore Orioles
C Jason Kendall - 1 year, $300,000 (Minor League deal)

[P-L]

Trade #6
Rangers get:
LHP Jacob McGee
SS Reid Brignac

Devil Rays get:
C Gerald Laird
RHP Thomas Diamond
RHP Josh Rupe


I really don't like this deal, but Texas and Tampa were trying to get a deal done and this was the best one in our opinion. Tampa gets a few major league players along with Thomas Diamond and Texas gets two really good prospects.

[P-L]

Trade #7
Arizona gets:
RHP Brian Bannister

Kansas City gets:
OF Carlos Quentin

[P-L]

Trade REJECTED
Twins get:
OF Vernon Wells
3B Troy Glaus
P Jesse Litsch
OF Adam Lind

Blue Jays get:
P Johan Santana
OF Jason Tyner



Me and DChess both said no to this. It was a nice attempt, but if Minnesota isn't going to pay Santana, they aren't going to pay Glaus and Wells. Troy Glaus has 1 year and $12.75 million on his contract. Wells makes next to nothing for the next three years, but he has a NTC and is owed $86 million over the final four years of the contract.

Trade 13 Accepted

SF Giants trade SP Noah Lowry

to

Angels for
3b Dallas McPherson,
SS Erik Aybar,
OF Juan Rivera
RP Jose Arredondo.

may look like a lot for the angles to give up on the surface but they need to get rid of some of their players and getting a good starter in return makes the deal.
