Brewers in on Gagne? - Final: to Boston

[B2k1121]

Doesn't Gagne insist on being the closer? That wouldn't make sense.

who would we have to send for the guy? turnbow and parra?

[And That]

I cringe at what we'd have to give up to get Gagne for 25 innings. Since we've already parted with Inman, I dare not even speak the names of who could be going to Arlington.

[gbpacker40]

Depending on who would would have to give up to get him, id pass. Considering we would be going up against NYx2 and Boston, I think the price would be pretty steep. The only way I can see it going down is if DM thinks he can get Gagne to sign past this year (cheaper than CoCo) and to become our future closer. If thats the case, I would rather wait til' season end and just sign him instead of giving up some top notch prospects which it will undoubtedly take.

Well we could give Periard, Jeffress, and Gwynn and thus have no plausible starting pitching depth of any kind between Milwaukee and Helena.

 

Yes I know people are high on Miller and McClendon but I'll be a believer when I see it.

[gbpacker40]

We always have Rodgers. "Shrugs"

[bklynbrewcrew]

Id be willing to give up Gwynn and Turnbow. Anything more than that and I will be pissed. As far as I am concerned Parra is too good to include in any trade for a rental player. We have already thinned the system enough with the Linebrink trade. i really like what Ive seen of Parra and would be really pissed if they traded him for two months of Gagne.

[gbpacker40]

Im not sure I trade Gwynn. He has that off the bench pinch runner speed that can come in extremely handy in late game situations, not to mention his defense is stellar.

[ He has that off the bench pinch runner speed that can come in extremely handy in late game situations, not to mention his defense is stellar. ]

 

While that's true, it's hard to carry a bench player just for his legs and his defense... In September, it's a no-brainer, but in August and perhaps the postseason, it's an iffy call.

[And That]

If the Brewers could get Gagne for Gwynn, Jackson and Hammond, I'd consider it, but you know the Rangers are after starting pitching, and we can only dilute our depth there so much before it severely limits what we can do in the future.

[Brian the Automator]

Type A free agents... collect 'em all!

 

Could you imagine if Linebrink, Cordero, and Gagne all walked and Mark A didn't skimp on signing bonuses? That would be insane.

[brettac1]

You have to hope that there aren't many suitors and they get pressed into feeling they have to deal him. The Yankees have said they won't deal Hughes, Kennedy, or Chamberlain, which the Rangers would obviously want. But I'd bet they would trade Al Horne, who is a pretty decent prospect himself.

 

Whether the Brewers have anyone they want to part with that is better is up to them, I guess.

 

And if he wants to close, he should be the closer. I'd rather have him in the 9th than Cordero.

Brian have you heard any rumors about Gagne to Milwaukee?

I swear, if I have anything close to a solid rumor, I'll report it.

[brewmann04]

Good one Brian on the type A Fa

[splitterpfj]

How about this for a wrinkle? Cordero, Gwynn and Jackson for Gagne.

 

The Rangers can still get their two picks when Cordero walks, while adding a young arm and Gwynn.

The Rangers can still get their two picks when Cordero walks, or move him right on through to one of the other teams, while adding a young arm and Gwynn.

Brewers Jump into Gagne trade talks

 

"Melvin would only say "no comment" Monday night when asked specifically about his interest in Gagne. But he regularly shoots down trade rumors if they are false and did not do so regarding Gagne.

"I'm talking to three or four clubs about different things, It's fair to say I'm looking to improve the club."

[kilgore37]

I know a dude who works for the rangers. Milwaukee is the front runner at the moment.

[watertown28]

thats good stuff and when they say doug usually shoots it down if its not true then they are right on in that thinking ... GOOO DOUG!

[Team Canada]

I'm a little nervous about what we'd have to give up to get him, but seriously, contemplate a bullpen of CV, Wise, Linebrink, Turnbow, Coco, and Gagne.

 

That's video game stuff.

[Oldcity]

I'm just thinking about all the draft picks.

[watertown28]

needless to say I hope I wake up in the morning and become a very happy fan

[TCSM]

^^ I dont no if sleeping is even an option right now for me.

Rotoworld Speculation

 

The Rangers may ask for Derrick Turnbow, Carlos Villanueva or Manny Parra in a Gagne deal.
