To Mets GM:
From Royals GM:

Can Wright play 1st base? We don't really have an internal solution for 1st and I would rather not acquire a regular who is just going to sit the bench.

To Royals GM:
Fm Mets GM:

Alas David Wright Can NOT play 1B. Would you consider sliding Moustakas or Butler over to 1st? Or perhaps taking Duda for Lorenzo Cain? Duda can play 1B...as well as Daniel Murphy if he would interest you. We like Duda, but we would part with him in a package to bring Hosmer/Cain to NY

Moose has the best range at third in the league and is only 5'11 so first base is a definite no. Butler may be the best bat that we have ever developed but he just doesn't have the athleticism for the position.

As for Lorenzo Cain, I would prefer to hold on to him for the time being. He has not played one full season in the big leagues yet and we are curious to see what we have in him. He is a premium athlete and I'm just not ready to part with him. However, when Bubba Starling is ready, we will definitely want to explore trades.

I think I am going to have to say no on Hosmer as well. Its not like our organization to draft a player 3rd overall and then turn around and trade him before he even gets a second crack at the league.

We would gladly continue talks if you are interested in any of our minor leaguers (except the "untouchables").

Re: Trade for Zach Braddock

2012 Offseason

Good morning,

We would like to propose a trade involving pitcher Zach Braddock. We know he struggled for you quite a bit in 2012 (0-5, 7.14 ERA, 29 IP, 51 H, 26 K, 12 BB), but we're looking for some left-handers to compete for spots in our bullpen.

We are willing to offer SS Clint Barmes who has one year left on his contract. Clint performed decently for us in 2012 (349 AB, .249/.315/.378, 19 2B, 8 HR, 34 BB, 70 K) and provides solid defense and a pretty solid bat vs. lefties.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best,
Pirates GM

Re: Carlos Zambrano

2012 Offseason

Good morning,

First of all, let me congratulate you on winning the 2012 World Series. That is certainly quite an impressive accomplishment.

We would like to explore a trade involving pitcher Carlos Zambrano and possibly pitcher Wade LeBlanc. Please find their 2012 stats below:

Zambrano - 11-8, 4.39 ERA, 182 IP, 201 H, 28 HR, 141 K, 83 BB
LeBlanc (AAA) - 11-4, 2.61 ERA, 193 IP, 165 H, 14 HR, 162 K, 48 BB

We feel that we can offer a solid package of minor league talent for what Zambrano is reasonably worth (3 years and about $10 million left on his contract). We would like to offer you your pick of any 3 players from the following list:

OF Mike Wilson (C Pot, AA/AAA) - .270/.336/.391, 14 2B, 10 HR
OF Darren Ford (C Pot, AA/AAA) - .257/.321/.329, 16 2B, 15 SB
SP Mauricio Robles (C Pot, AAA) - 14-5, 3.15 ERA, 183 IP, 177 H, 13 HR, 144 K, 60 BB
SS Carlos Triunfel (C Pot, AAA) - 201 AB, .229/.305/.353, 5 HR, 4 SB, 18 BB, 35 K
2B Gabriel Noriega (C Pot, AA) - 298 AB, .272/.318/.366, 5 HR, 13 SB

We are very willing to negotiate, please let me know if we can provide you with any other information. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best,
Mariners GM

Hi there. We are interested in your pitcher, Jake Peavy. He is 6-7 with a 3.06 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP. However, his shoulder is currently injured for the 54345th time. He is also getting paid 28M over 2012 and 2013. Here is a proposal we see fair:

Dwight Smith, Jr. (Mid B Potential, .285/.346/.419, just 19 y/o, L bat)
Kevin Comer (Mid B Potential, Single A, just 9, progressing well)

FOR

Jake Peavy (having good year, VERY injury prone, hasn't pitched well in the slightest the past two years, expensive contract)

We are also willing to give up:

A.J. Jimenez, a mid B potential catcher/1B. He is rated as one of the best defensive catchers in the minors, and is hitting .252/.278/.313 with a sparkling 1.000 Fielding %.

Brett Cecil, a mid B potential SP. He won 15 games in 2010, and has a 3.30 ERA in Triple A this year (we have no room for him on the big league roster, and I can't pitch with him).

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Re: OS Arbitration Panel Project 2012

I'm not on the list as a volunteer for this but I would be more than willing to help if you'd like. Either way, at least mention where the ChiSox are at in the standings and how far into the season you are thus far as that has a huge bearing on this.

As you may have heard, we are in need of a few starting pitchers. The mix we have now can get us through the season but we need some guys to take this Franchise to the next level. We understand you have a wealth of young pitchers therefore we are going to propose the following deal.

Brett Eibner- Solid B pot. 23 y/o, projects to be an All Star center fielder if he develops properly.

Noel Arguellas- high C potential. 22 y/o, Ceiling is as a number 3 starter. Floor is a power left hander out of the pen; has some of the best stuff in our Farm System.

I don't usually visit this thread so forgive the lack of templating. I'm sure that there is not a lot of realistic demand for ChiSox players so I bet that is a big reason for not hearing from the usual GM. Anyways...

While we may be in rebuilding mode, a lot of our core is still under 30 and the primary concerns will be to replace Paul Konerko when he retires and get young players ready for MLB baseball next season. A secondary concern will be replacing AJ behind the dish if he doesn't resign for one more year but Flowers looks like he will make a nice starter. AJ Jimenez would be nothing more than a backup for us in the long run thus his value is more of a throw-in. Dwight Smith Jr could be of use as a 4th OF. However, barring willingness to include Jacob Anderson if he is in the roster and a B (I don't remember and I'm not at home) or another decent 1B guy who will be ready soon, I would rather stock up on pitching. Cecil is okay but how about another B who will be ready to help the MLB team next year? Comer is too young...unless you are willing to include Jimenez as a throw-in. Now, if you would do JP & Cecil, consider it done.

JP and Cecil? You mean Arencibia? There is not a chance. Anderson is also untouchable. Pitching wise, we have Deck McGuire, but he hasn't been great...

Would you be able to throw something else in if we were going to give up all three B's? If you're looking for MLB ready pitching, we have Jesse Litsch... But our B's are getting scarce.

Long story short, if you want three B's, you'll have to throw something else in.

Jimenez is not that much value to us and I couldn't imagine something else we could or would give up that you would want in all honesty--or am I wrong? He really is a throw-in as nothing more than someone we would use every fifth game to give the main man a break which I imagine you would do with him as well behind D'Arnaud.

Cecil & Smith are looking like your best bet though if you threw in a mid-low C player (C, 1B, P preferred), it would make me feel better because I would be shopping Peavy but I bet I could do better elsewhere.

Because Arencibia is an A potential guy who's crushing right now.

Here is our formal offer:

Dwight Smith Jr.
Brett Cecil
Mid C Player

I'm not near my PS3. If you can think of some mid C guys, I'd listen. Automatic no on Chad Jenkins and Sean Nolin, as they're two of the best pitchers in all of the minor leagues ATM.
