I’d really like DeJesus on the A’s. Been watching him from afar for years. Be a great addition to pick up and throw in Left Field.
Yankees420
Gotta imagine Michael Taylor is up sometime this year.
aap212
Not the way he’s hitting.

No way TB does this IMO. They’ve got Desmond Jennings waiting in the wings if they want an outfielder to allow Zorilla to play 2nd.
gwells
plus i think it would make more sense for the rays to just replace rodriguez with brignac. he’s played some 2nd this season and has hit pretty well (807 OPS in 117 ABs).
aap212
Jennings is banged up and not hitting well.
aap212
What about the Mets? He won’t require a huge package of prospects, he’s not terribly expensive, and Frenchy is terribly terrible.

This is exactly the move I have been hoping the Padres would make. Makes sense all the way around. Reasonable salary and represents a big upgrade to the Starting outfielders the Padres have. All are batting below .240. What are the royals going to want in return?

Royals get:
Luebke
Darnell/Foresythe
Cedric Hunter
Padres get:
DeJesus

I don’t see the Padres moving Darnell. Maybe Forsythe in the right deal. As with any deal you have to look at it from both sides. According to the report on MASNsports about the Nats need of a RF in which he takes a look at DeJesus he says the royals want bullpen help and a prospect. The Padres might move Bell/Adams, but is that really want the Royals are looking for? Gregerson is not going to be moved, he would be the attractive bullpen piece for the Royals. I have a hard time figuring if Bell or DeJesus is worth more at this point, they both have this year and next under control for about the same money (DeJesus option for 11 is 6 mil, Bell arb 3 6-7mil). My gut tells me Bell, considering the “value” of closers but you just can’t tell anymore. The question is are the Padres willing to break up their strong pen to get more offense or try and convince the Royals to take something like you suggested. Personally I don’t see the Padres offering that kind of value for DeJesus even if he is a solid fit and upgrade, the Padres themselves are still figuring out their future and wont give up two of their top ten prospects up.

The talk of bullpen help is a month old now. The Royals bullpen has settled down because they have made some moves already to improve it. I don’t see that as much of a need anymore. I think they Royals just want prospects at this point.

I doubt the Royals need to pluck Gregerson or Bell from our major league roster in exchange for DeJesus. The players Scott named are some of our most advanced prospects and would surely be enticing. If the Royals are adamant about bullpen help we could thrown in a prospect along the lines of Ernesto Freiri or Craig Italiano who are ripping it up in Triple A and Double A respectively.
Royals: Forsythe, Hunter, Luebke, Freiri
Padres: DeJesus
Padres Double A team would lose almost every game for the rest of the year, but Lake Elsinore will feed them talent next year. That crop of talent on our High A team is exciting.
P.S. Please do not trade Simon Castro this year. Pleaaseeee.
Beersy 2
Don’t worry, Castro isn’t going anywhere but AAA.
Kevin Chambers
I see the nats.
@uss_fallujah
DeJesus to the Nats makes sense, but what will KC take? Capps & Marrero is too high, Burnett & Burgess?
gigantes2425
i thought the giants said they were willing to spend some cash at the deadline. maybe not.
j6takish
Nobody fux with DeJesus
Jacob Cooper
Could be a huge upgrade for the Braves in left field and help take the stress off of Mcclouth and Heyward. Would be a really interesting pick-up for the Braves.
jill
I always forget about David DeJesus. I guess that happens if you spend your whole career as a Royal. They just don’t get much attention unless they are named Zach. The Padres should seriously look into him. He’s a well rounded player. KC should ask for pitching-perhaps one starter and one reliever, and at least one of them should already be on their 25 man roster. The Padres don’t have much in the way of outfielders in their system, so having him under a fairly reasonable contract for next year could be a big help this year and next year while they continue to look for more long term solutions.

Rays, Rangers, Pads, Braves. He’d help any one of those teams immensely. He’d probably prefer the W.C. given that the warmer weather might warm up his bat some. Question is, who can offer K.C. the best package of players &/or prospects.
Rays – 1st
Rangers – 1st*
Pads – 1st
Braves – 1st

I could also see Detroit gettin’ involved as well. DD would only add to that arsenal in the Tiger O.F. with Jackson in C.F. & Mags in R.F. Don’t know if Dayton Moore would wanna deal within the division though.
@uss_fallujah
David DeJesus gets no love from KC fans, reminds me of Franceour or Ryan Church, solid players who are much maligned because they don’t live up to over-inflated expectations. DeJesus is no All-Star, but he’d make a solid addition in Washington, who desperatly need stability in RF and a solid #6 LH hitter to compliment Josh Willingham.
Mark S
DeJesus shouldn’t even be in the same sentence as those players. DeJesus is a very solid player on a bad team. Ryan Church is a backup corner outfielder and Jeff Franceour is replacement level.
aap212
Jeff Franceous isn’t even solid. That’s his problem.
Cameron Nelson
Honestly, I want him to stay here in KC but with all the stuff he’s done over the years for us, he deserves a postseason run. The team that makes the most sense to me is the Nats because they need RF most (even though Davey’s a LF by nature) and we could get something out of them that’d make it worthwhile.
souldrummer
You bring joy to my heart, Mr. Nelson. I’m all in for the DeJesus lobby and fans that like him and wish this for him are good stuff. The Nats have nothing coming up in RF until Michael Burgess at the earliest. There’s an outside chance that he’d be ready by 2013. What do you think that Royals would want for him, though? The Nationals have some pitching inventory, but they are awfully thing when it comes to bats in the upper minors.

@ estuartj FYI: the fans in KC know the value of Dejesus and respect the man. He is a solid producer year after year.

The Royals minor league system has a lot of talent in AA and high A ball. They would love to get a top prospect that plays the field and would be ready with that group in NWARK and another high risk high reward type prospect. David gets plenty of love in KC but his value is about to decline after this year because he won’t put these kinds of numbers up again.
