Latest On Gio Gonzalez

By Tim Dierkes | December 8, 2011 at 8:38am CDT

A dozen teams are in on Athletics lefty Gio Gonzalez, reports Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.  The latest:

  • There are indications the Blue Jays and A's might add a third team to the discussions to try to find the right match for Gonzalez, writes Slusser.  The A's seek "at least two high-value prospects and a few mid-range prospects."

    I’m liking this, then we don’t need to go for Darvish…. OR go for him and have a poor man phillies rotation.

    Also what do people think of the Jays going for Halladay if he doesnt sign an extension, when this contract end 2013?

    Although I’m not sure how Ricky would take it…

       Jays arent going to go for Halladay again lol he’ll likely still be dominant and get a pretty good contract from someone else while the Jays will in the middle of their youth movement. Although id never turn Halladay down , so i wouldn’t be opposed to it.

        I was just thinking if the Jays were competing in 2013 why not try for him. But I would feel bad throwing Ricky back down

          Morrow could easily be ahead of him by then anyhow.   And I don’t think anyone minds sitting next to Halladay.

            Morrow will not be ahead of Ricky, sorry Ricky has been getting better and better.

      I’m not sure he would want to come back. I think he got pretty tired of the organization (front office) under J.P.

    I’d like for the Sox to become this third team and try to take on Bailey and possibly Breslow as well.

        Quality reliever for a decent price. The Red Sox need to revamp their bullpen with Bard likely going to the rotation. Jenks, Albers, Wheeler? No thanks.

    I’m sure we can drag in one of our usual go-to trading partners. Like maybe the White Sox or Angels.

    Lawrie ain’t going anywhere…. neither is JP…. Jeff Mathis will NOT be this team’s starting catcher… plus then they’d have to bring in ANOTHER back-up catcher…. JP has shown great pop for a catcher and handles the rotation VERY well…. he could be a permanent piece even though he was mostly thought of as a stop-gap until D’Arnaud was ready…  Drabek could go but I doubt it…. his value is quite low and AA doesn’t traditionally move guys when their value is low… he tends to move FOR guys with a low value and big upside(Escobar, Morrow, Johnson etc)… I REALLY like Gio Gonzalez, but if we’re gonna get him it’s gonna take a solid offering of young talent…… Is AA willing to part with those pieces?? Time will tell….

    As an A’s fan, I’d ask for Lawrie and Anthony Gose…as it addresses A’s needs… and they have a lot of needs.

      No way the Jays move Lawrie. It would create a bigger hole than the one they are trying to plug.

      As an A’s fan, you can ask (and hope) for anything you like. If you think Lawrie is getting traded for Gonzalez, I’m pretty sure AA would be asking the A’s to throw in something else pretty good. Aint gonna happen. Not to mention BB is said to be looking for high upside low to mid level minors guys in exchange for Gonzalez to be ready to contribute in 2-3 years in their new stadium.

    Well, its essentially definite now that the A’s will be trading Gio (and Bailey) this offseason.

    Ive been thinking if we think Colby will play well why not trade Gose (or the one behind him with a really long name) he would just be blocked by him anyways.

      I’d much rather give up snider or thames along with drabek that move Gose. Colby can always move to left field if and when Gose is ready

    The nats need to do whatever it takes to get a gio deal done. How about Gio and Bailey for Storen, Desmond, Norris, Peacock, Solis, Bernadina, Hood, and several lower prospects.

    Unrelated; but here’s a proposal for the Jays which Might work, but all would have to fall in place:

    Jays Sign Prince Fielder for 5 years with vesting options for 6 and 7; which would negate criticisms about his weight.

    To TB:
    Adam Lind
    Prospect? (if needed)

    To TOR:
    Joel Peralta
    JP Howell

    Jays Move JP Arenciba to Part time DH/1B, alternating with Prince.
    Jays call up D’Arnaud for full-time starting duty.

    Potential Lineup

    SS Escobar
    LF/CF/RF Thames/Snider
    3B/2B Lawrie
    RF/3B Bautista
    1B/DH Fielder
    CF Rasmus
    DH/1B/C Arencibia
    2B/LF Johnson
    C D’Arnaud

    Bench

    C Mathis
    DH/1B/3B (hopefully not 3B) Encarnacion
    2B/SS Valbuena
    OF/PR Davis
     
    Rotation

    SP Romero
    SP Morrow
    SP Alvarez
    SP McGowan
    SP Cecil/Drabek/FA Acquisition

    Bullpen 

    RP Janssen
    RP Villanueva
    RP Howell
    RP Peralta
    RP Carreno
    RP Perez
    CP Santos
    (with maybe a FA Aquisition as a RP)

     
    Seems to be a contending lineup to me.
    Thoughts?
