Santos & Pagan = Trade Bait?

by JamesHHart on Dec 3, 2009 2:31 PM EST

With the imminent signing of Blanco and Molina to fill our catcher positions, could Minaya possibly be selling high on Santos and shipping him elsewhere based on the recent award? It's also well known Pagan is being looked at by a number of clubs. I would love to see Carl Crawford on our team, but I'm sure the Rays will be hanging onto him this year, at least until the deadline. Just wondering if anyone has heard anything on this and any realisitic trade targets the Mets may be looking at...

The molina signing is imminent?

I think Omar could be ready to make a trade but Crawford will cost a lot more then those two guys. Also with the catchers available in free agency I don’t know that Omir’s value is all that high.

My theory is they are trying to make a move to get Doumit and they will not sign Molina, but that may be a wish.

P.S. The AA community will tell you that this should have been a conversation Fanshot

Santos won an award?

Was it the award for Best Sports T-Shirt EVAR?!!?

I've been away for a while

I figured the mention of Santos winning an award was AA making a joke and giving him “t-shirt designer of the year” or something.

But NO: Santos was named to the Topps All-Star Team?!? Something is very wrong here.

Haha oh yeah, forgot about that one.

Cross our fingers that we get something of better value than either, if they are traded.

Something from the Royals?

The rumor was they were interested in Pagan, and they also need a catcher. But I have no idea what KC has that we would want in return.

I'd take both for the field, too.

Disco would find an obscure rule that allows individuals to be in the front office, and players at the same time. Bannister would be pitching coach, and Disco would become GM, along with their normal playing duties.
