Adeiny Hechavarria would be interesting and the Tigers and the Fish have done business before. However, the Marlins would ask for a lot and I am not certain if the Tigers really need to do it in order to compete for the divison.

Soooo.. Heyman is reporting that there is nothing to report on a potential Franklin to Detroit trade? Hard hitting stuff there.
Dag Gummit
Given the reports on Detroits wants in a SS, Franklin never made sense anyway. The want a glove guy and he’s much more a bat guy. From the beginning, they never seemed like much of a target for him.

Idc if it’s Drew or Gregorious that the Meta get, they just need to get one of them. I don’t think the 2011-2012 version of Tejada is ever coming back… In NY at least
Ruben_Tomorrow
Tejada has to go, but the only excitement Didi is going to bring to NY is his name. His bat will never hold up, and the Mets will be in the same position they are in now next season if they were to bring in Gregorius.

Eh, Didi has more upside and the better glove, which at shortstop I think carries more weight. If Ruben puts it all together, he’s his 2012 self. If Didi does, he’s an above average SS. I’d like to see what Arizona wants for him before I decide if he’s worth the trade.

Nobody has to make “a serious push” for Kozma. He’s worth a very slight nudge.

The Mets are such a great organization that they throw their own players under the bus. Doesn’t matter if you’re David wright, matt Harvey, Lucas Duda, Ike Davis, Ruben Tejada, RA Dickey, or Carlos Beltran. If you play for the Mets, you can expect, with absolute certainty, that the front office, ownership, and coaches will all publicly shame you. Guaranteed. That’s just how the Mets operate.

Can’t argue with that. Then they wonder why they have to pay more for free agents to come there. It doesn’t matter who plays SS. Mets are a 75 win team as of now. A good SS might get them up to 78. They need a lot more than just SS. None of the outfielders hit over .250 last year…neither SS hit over .225….neither catcher hit over .215….neither left handed first basemen hit over .225. That’s 6 positions under .250. Optimistically, if three positions improve to .260-275, that still leaves 3 positions with poor offensive output. Too much pressure for the pitchers to pitch against.

Mets just need to sign Drew for 2 yrs and end this nonsense. They nerd a lead off hitter and SS, makes too much sense, so they won’t do it

How wild are the Marlins about Hechavarria? I know it’d be one of those rarer intra-division trades, but would either the Mets or Marlins say no to a straight up Hechavarria-for-Tejada swap? A kind of change-of-scenery, challenge trade? (Though I can’t argue it’d make either team any better…)

Tigers want a solutions that lasts a few months, not years. Better to just go with in house options.
Slick fielding SSs that can’t hit are a dime a dozen!

Diamondbacks: I need to trade pitching for a SS
Next year it’s the reverse? I question Towers ability to make a decision.

Send Kozma to the tigers or mets, or AAA. Hope he doesnt make the team for the Cards, with Descalso and Ellis available as back up SS to Peralta
