West Notes: Santana, Garza, Gutierrez, Padres

By Zachary Links | December 18, 2013 at 9:09pm CDT

A look at the AL and NL West..

  • Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers told Jim Bowden of SiriusXM (on Twitter) that he's in on two of Masahiro Tanaka, Ervin Santana, and Matt Garza.
  • The Mariners are showing continued interest in Santana, according to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter).
  • Franklin Gutierrez says that he had other offers, including one from the Indians, but "didn't think twice" about other opportunities when the Mariners called him, tweets Greg Johns of MLB.com.
  • Even after adding Joaquin Benoit, free agent pitcher Josh Johnson, and trading for outfielder Seth Smith, the Padres might not be finished, writes Corey Brock of MLB.com.
  • Mark Saxon of ESPNLosAngeles.com wonders if the Dodgers can bank on second baseman Alexander Guerrero.  Los Angeles signed the Cuban standout this winter to a four-year, $28MM deal that can increase to $32MM with incentives.
  • Rangers GM Jon Daniels says that not much has changed since the winter meetings, writes Richard Durrett of ESPNDallas.com.

    Coletti has to be banking on guys like Getz & Nix being available all the way into start of spring training I’m thinking.

    Any chance of the Mets dealing Ike to the Padres for Huston Street?

      Not with Yonder Alonso already penciled in at 1st for 2014.

      Probably unlikely. The Padres seem to be set on bolstering their bullpen not trade away the depth that’s no longer there.

      I’d say zero. There’s no way they trade him for one (or two, if you count the team option) years of a reliever. They want prospects.

    Much rather wait to see if Tanaka will be posted before going after Santana. The contact he’s demanding is insane.

    If Ichiro, Soriano, or Gardner is available to be traded back to the Mariners similar to Cliff Lee possibly rejoining also from the Phillies w/ Papelbon packaged in some trade rumor, the Yanks can package Ichiro back to Seattle for Tom Wilhelmsen and a mid or low level prospect as the new closer or set up man between Farquhar & either Papelbon or Rodney via free agency will make sense for Jack Z. to pull off including Justin Smoak packaged in a three team trade between the Mariners/Phillies. Which outfielder between Marte or Tabata from the Pirates or Brown of the Phillies should the Mariners send to the Phillies for Cliff Lee or Papelbon? Smoak could then be sent to the Pirates from the Phillies for a mid minor league prospect or two.

      He will retire a Mariner but hes done. Why would we want Ichiro back.

        Yankees have tons of outfielders after signing Beltran, Gardner can help the Mariners through a trad if it will take either Beaven or Maurer on top of Stephen Romero (replacing A-Rod) being the trade piece to the Bronx?

          Gardner is the only on that would be a fit in Seattle.

          Will the Reds be interested in Nick Franklin in the multi team trade from the Mariners via the Yankees sending Chapman or Bailey (but not Brandon Phillips) to the Bronx and who else would go to the Bronx from Seattle?

          9 years ago

          I don’t know if Homer can be for for that little. And Bronson is a FA.

        • Marinersforever71

          9 years ago

          Who would be available going to the Reds in the multi trade?

      I like your enthusiasm but I think a less complicated way of making it work would be to focus on a Tabata for Smoak type of deal. PIT gets their first basemen they need & the M’s get an OF upgrade.

        Separate trade. Between Stefan Romero or Patrick Kivelhan, who is the Phillies more interested in between those two?

    What is with the Mariners grabbing injury prone players? Not to mention their love of one year deals?

      With our management, we have to settle for small signings. We could never make a big FA splash.

        That’s right, Cano didn’t sign with Seattle…

      You don’t need to make all long term signings in one off season. LOL Plus the Mariners aren’t done yet as far as we know. And there is nothing wrong with one year deals. You have to be efficient with most of your money, and those one year deals gives Mariners low risk/high reward potential with depth and a potential for it to be worth much more then what they are paying. These are the type of deals good teams make to pad there 25 man roster. Nothing wrong with the Gutierrez/Hart deals.

    Draft pick compensation seems to only hurt the middling teams 11-20 who can’t afford to lose a draft pick but need those FAs just like the protected 1-10s do.

    Dbacks “in” on two of Tanaka, Santana and Garza. Tanaka not getting posted. I don’t particularly like those odds.
