I was the Mariners. I wanted to get an A pitching prospect in return, and I did with McNutt, while Alvarez is a B prospect and is 21 years old. So not bad. I hated giving up Walker, but I want to win this season and it was the only way.

With the OSFM rosters coming out tonight I am going to get going on my MN Twins franchise. I already know we will be out early (I don't play every game). I would be looking to get rid of:

Liriano (maybe)
Morneau
Span
Capps


What sort of prospects or players could I get that would be semi-realistic?

My goal is to get 1 ace/top of the rotation pitcher.

Thanks

Do u wanna trade each guy seperately or form a package?

That trade is absolutely brutal for the Mariners. Not only do they get shafted on the total shift of talent, they also add way to much payroll and get a 1B who can't get on base when the team already has plenty of players who do that.

Package would be fine. But they wouldn't all need to be together.

I was also thinking (even though this wouldn't be realistic) what sort of package I could get for Mauer?

What about Montero and Ackley for Mauer? I just really don't like the guy.

[survo202]

Mauer is a great catcher but I'm not sure that deal makes sene for them being as Ackley and Montero are just getting ready to hit their stride and be great for many years. Ship him to a team that would take him and give you a great haul of prospects in return

Mauer has one of the worst contracts in baseball. The Mariners would never make this trade.

the guy above me nailed it.....Mariners wouldn't trade a guy they JUST traded for......But getting back to ur first inquiry, u can trade Morneau to the Brewers for an A,B, and C.......then u can ship Liriano, Span, and Capps off to the Mets for an A and two B's
