If I were the Yankees I'd trade everyone

And then re-sign them all for double their salaries.

And then re-sign them all for double their salaries.

And then sign every player in the major leagues.

Lock up that title in April!

Predictions from the MLB Trade Rumors folk


Interesting pick: Beltre to the Twins.

[200tang]

I thought the Juan Uribe to Mariners pick was the weirdest. He can play SS/3B, but last I checked the Mariners already have Bill Hall and Jack Hannahan at the ML level.

[OregonDuck1989]

Yeah I don't see that happening. Though Uribe did have a decent year very quietly out there in San Fran (apart from his error in the not-so-perfect game). There are plenty of other clubs in need of a 3B...like Philadelphia...

Wolf to the Mets is a good pick, I could really see that happening.

If I was the mariners I would not be satisfied with having Bill Hall.

Interesting pick: Beltre to the Twins.

I am disappointed I see no Marlin predictions on that list, considering this is about the time where they decide to go crazy and win a world series out of no where. On a more serious note. I like majority of the picks for the Red Sox. I see MOST of them happening but I disagree with the Chapman prediction. I really don't think that will happen, but if it happens, I won't mind it. I forgot about Marco Scutaro though, the Sox have had a strong interest in him this past year and I think this would be a good move but I still like Alex Gonzalez and his solid play he has had over his time with the Sox. I am so glad someone picked Beltre to go to the Twins, because for some strange reason everyone wants to crown him to go to the Sox, which will NOT HAPPEN. Guarantee, mark me down.

I'm a fan of that whole "getting Matt Holliday" thing

You can have him as long as Jason Bay stays with the Sox

Interesting pick: Beltre to the Twins.

few things to say.

1. Beltre will not be signing with the Twins.
2. The Cardinals will not have Pinero be their only big money signing. If Holliday goes elsewhere, they will at least sign someone from outside the organization. X. Nady makes some sense for example...They have over 30 million to spend in available payroll. Ankiel, DeRosa and Holliday are the question marks.
3. Why would the Nationals spend so much money on free agents this year?
4. The Red Sox and Mets are going to sign everybody else? If the Mets did get holliday, they won't be signing much other than maybe Wolf to go with him.

At least, that's how i think.

I think you will find Thome in a more hitter friendly A.L. ballpark, not Oakland.

I can see Delgado going back to Toronto
I can see DeRosa being a Phillie, although I think being a Cub again is more likley.
Smoltz will remain in St. Louis
I think Sheets will be a Ranger

Red Sox are on Roy Halladay's possible teams for a trade list.

If I was the mariners I would not be satisfied with having Bill Hall.

Considering all he is is a backup and he's a good defender and he fits in a platoon with Hannahan and he can play every position, I would.

yeh, it's not like you guys are on the hook for his salary

[gosensgo101]

I could see the Jays looking for some guys with ties to the Blue Jays (either having played for them before or being Canadian), especially if Overbay is dealt.

Delgado, Bay and perhaps Felipe Lopez could fit in here.

I could definately see them taking a flyer on Harden or Bedard as well.

wtf is all that white stuff?
