September 25, 200619 yr Help a GM out, which of this trade do you think the Marlins should accept? Should I accept more then 1 offer if it is possible? Mets Offer: RF Milledge and Bannister for SP Dontrelle Willis Blue Jays Offer: Wells for SP Willis and CF Abercrombie Chicago Cubs Offer: Cubs get: Reggie Abercrombie and Ricky Nolasco Marlins get: Juan Pierre, Ryan Harvey, and one of Sean Marshall/Carlos Marmol
September 25, 200619 yr What an odd thread. Mets trade: Wouldn't do under any circumstances. Blue Jays trade: Hm. How long is Wells under contract for? I do think, offensively and defensively, he is one of the best CF's out there and he would look great roaming the field of DS. But I'm still not sold on trading Willis just because of what he brings this franchise. Reluctantly, I decline. Cubs trade: I'd do it. I think Nolasco's future lies in the pen. That being said, Juan Pierre is probably not the answer in CF, but for what we give up, I'd still do the deal.
September 25, 200619 yr The Cubs GM should be fired if that trade was offered We would have to be insane not to accept it. The Mets proposal is just pitiful. The Jays scenario needs tweaking they need to throw something else in the pot but it is a start

September 26, 200619 yr I offer then Girardi for Pierre, you thik that a smart trade? You do understand the concept of free agency right?

Haha...how about we let the Cubs have Girardi...if they also take Abercrombie as part of the deal...final offer. (Wow...Abercrombie was just given away by the Marlins!?!?)

September 26, 200619 yr Can someone please explain to me what a FA? I would be appreciated if you do and please take your time and make sure it is readable and simple. Oh... you're serious. Free agency is when a player's contract with a team has expired, and thus that team no longer has control over that player, thus they can't trade said player. The player can then make up his mind whether he wants to re-sign with that team, or move to another team, pending on what offers he receives from rival teams. For example, Joe Borowski signed a one year contract with us, that means that we can't trade him this off-season, as he is not under our control anymore. He can either decide to re-sign with us (if the Marlins want him too), or leave for another team.
September 26, 200619 yr I'm confused.. does Abercrombie have trade value or something? youre dealing with Marlins Troll here...
September 26, 200619 yr I would really like to see Vernon Wells on the Marlins, but I wouldn't like to give up Willis and also the chances of keeping Wells after his contract is up are very slim, so I say no. The player we should try to go after this offseason is Torii Hunter.
