Well, gee, if I were the Padres and I was trading one of my players to a division rival I’d ask for a lot. The moon and stars too!
Teams get to control Chase Headley next year too. He’s also a very good third baseman-you may have noticed that a lot of teams need one of those-who hits much better away from Petco, where hitters go to die. The Padres should be able to get quite a lot for Headley. If they don’t like the packages they’re offered, they could just trade him in the off season. They’d have plenty of takers.

Nothing new here. I think the point is, the price is higher than expected, given what we know already about Headley.

It is in the padre’s best interest to trade for best package, inter-division or not. They are a couple years away from competing, large chance headly is out of it by then. He also isn’t the type of player that I would be scared of facing, that i wouldnt trade in the division.

As the Dodgers slip down the standings…

Come on Dodgers, go grab Hanley Ramirez and then extend him for 5 years. Take Garza over Dempster (younger, and not yet in his prime). Then swap out Loney for a free bag of turf seed, and let Uribe play average at 1B.
cookmeister
and where did all of these prospects come from to get Hanley and Garza?
NerdSurfer
Prospects + CASH. Pretty simple concept really.
Tim Valencia
yeah brain surgery is a simple concept too, but a simplistic equation of “prospects + cash = HanRam +Garza” isnt gonna wow the Cubs and marlins GM’s to trade them to you
cookmeister
what prospects? there no way the Doyers can pull of a trade for both
NerdSurfer
1 Down…

Loney is awful, but Uribe is worse.
Sailor Evil
Uribe at 1B? That is a joke you made?
gina marie deluca
uribe sux at first base! r u kidding me??? loney makes defensive plays that uribe can only DREAM of making!!!
NerdSurfer
Agreed. But giving up power at 1B for defense for the last 6 years has gotten them….?
