Rosenthal On Holliday, Lee, Jays
On the MLB Network, Ken Rosenthal says he wouldn't be surprised to see the Indians deal Cliff Lee. Here are the details and the rest of his rumors:
- There's a good chance Matt Holliday will be dealt, though the A's aren't shopping him now. They say they'd have to be impressed to deal him, but Rosenthal suggests this is just a more subtle way of asking for offers.
- Several GMs believe Billy Beane will trade Holliday this month.
- Rosenthal isn't sure Cliff Lee will be in Cleveland for the rest of the year. He says the Indians aren't going to sign him when he becomes a free agent after 2010, so if someone offers the young top-of-the-rotation starter the Indians are looking for, they could deal their ace.
- Victor Martinez is less likely to be dealt, as the Indians would consider keeping him after 2010, when they're expected to pick up his option.
- There's no chance Vernon Wells gets traded.
- Alex Rios, however, could appeal to some teams as a center fielder, so there's a chance he's moved.

"There's no chance Vernon Wells gets traded."
This should be clarified:
Not because teams want him, but because he has a Zitoesque contract that makes him absolutely, 100% untradeable.

obviously....

Hey, we might give you Soriano for him. And you may be able to land yourself the man himself, one Barry Zito. But yes, what you say is true. That, like the others, is just one you will have to eat for the next many years.

it is because teams dont want him.....you just said the contract is why they dont...he is not worth that money...

Braves should at least inquire about Rios. He would fit RF for us perfect He's just 28 and has got 4 years left on his contract so this wouldn't even be a rental or anything. We can finally drop Francoeur if we could swing a deal for him.

Mark Shapiro is setting by the phone waiting for another GM to ring him with an offer that include a Front Of The Rotation type prospect starter for Lee as soon as that happens the deal will be done.
If teams are waiting for the asking price to come down on Lee they will have to wait until next year when Lee will be a Rental type pick-up.

All I can say is thank you god for not letting Brian Sabean trade Lincecum for Rios straight up two seasons ago. That would have been horiffic!
Posted by: bigmike23 | July 01, 2009 at 02:01 PM
Alex Rios should be appealing to the Jays as a center fielder at this point.
