How about going after guys like Kyle Lohse and Rich Harden? Although I doubt the Cardinals let Lohse walk and Harden is injury prone. Would they be investment risks worth taking?

Id take Lohse

The Marlins are seekig a Mark Teixeira-like package for Johnson, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports. Miami seeks at least three good young pieces for Johnson, Heyman writes. The Rangers, of course, obtained Elvis Andrus, Neftali Feliz, Matt Harrison and Jarrod Saltalamacchia when they traded Teixeira five years ago.

Looks like we're looking for a Mark Texiera package for JJ. I wonder if we throw in a few other pieces this can actually go down.

 

Game On.

 

edit: Yup, already posted

I just don't see a teixeira like deal happening for jj.

I'm down.

I think someone caves closer to the deadline.

id throw all our pieces to the rangers if they were willing to take on the payroll because there farm system is the best in the game. if you are going to dump a lot of pieces on a team you want it to be the rangers at this point.

Using deductive reasoning, we can assume that the FO would be interested in Martin Perez considering that there was a scout from us there the last time he pitched. We also need a 3B, so we'd definitely want Olt. Profar seems to be a long shot, but from there on, we'd might be want Leonys Martin, Leury Garcia or just another pitcher in Tanner Scheppers? Idk, I just know that we'd want A LOT in return for JJ.

Jj is going to the angels or rangers. Whomever fails to land greinke

I think someone caves closer to the deadline.

 

 

Hopefully it's the Rangers, only time will tell.

So it's settled. JJ for Elvis Andrus, Neftali Feliz, Matt Harrison, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia.

I don't see them passing up on Olt + Perez. I mean, why? I don't think they can expect more.

Olt Perez and either Leonys Martin, Rougned Odor or Buckle

First they say it's a 95 percent chance jj stays and some also say they'll be shocked if the marlins don't trade him...what to believe...I hope the angels get greinke

If we're trading him to Texas, I hope the second best piece in the deal is Leonys Martin, not Perez. Olt, Martin + please.

Maybe a ploy to boost his trade value?

I don't know enough about Martin but I really want Perez. From everything I've read dude is going to be a stud.

When Perez was scouted by us in his previous start, he posted 6 solid innings of 1 run ball against the Red Sox.

I want Olt 100% and pitching then whatever we can get if we reeeally are demanding 3 high guys.

I don't wanna sound like a Debbie downer thats gonna be tough to get a deal like that for jj. Teams will be weary of his injury history. Also his less than stellar performance this year

Then they can just keep JJ.

But, but I really want olt and Perez

I really like Leonys Martin as well as Perez and Olt. If we could get those 3 somehow, I would be thrilled

I would hate to see JJ go ...... absolutely hate it

 

But if he's going to and the team is rebooting, then TX is a team to deal with

 

I absolutely love Olt and he could step in immediately at 3B ... guy has been on a calendar year tear

 

should be an interesting few days .... greinke may have to move first though
