Jim Bowden on ESPN NEWS

[brewers255]

At the end of the interview he said the following:

"Expect a blockbuster trade to happen within 72 hours... O and trust me your peter gammons will have some details before everyone knows anything. Laughs"

Interviewer: "A trade involving the Nationals?"

Bowden: "I dont wanna comment. Laughs"

 

 

Thoughts on the trade?

[brettac1]

Who's a tools goof OF that's on the market?

 

Off the top of my head, Crawford and Baldelli (allegedly), maybe Wily Mo Pena or Corey Patterson.

[cooprules]

I'm assuming it's Manny.

[aracko]

Clearly its gotta be Manny being moved.

 

My GUESS is Manny moves to NYMets for Heilman, Milledge, and Phillip Humber/Mike Pelfrey.

 

Just a guess.

[brewers255]

also he said that it was multiple teams and that it involves more than 1 superstar.

[aracko]

There goes my prediction.

[RyDogg66]

My guess is this deal never happens.

[aracko]

If Manny and Griffey would waive their clauses I could see the 2 of them swapping places with Ryan Freel moving full time to CF and Manny taking over in LF.

 

That would be a really potent lineup with

 

1.Freel

2.Hatteburg

3.manny

4.Dunn

5.encarnacion

6.brandon phillips

7.David Ross

8. alex gonzalez

[Weirdos19]

The Red Sox need more than that!!

 

Griffey's numbers pale in comparison to Manny's.

 

Maybe Dunn and a good starter to Boston.

 

 

ESPN.com is saying that the Mariners are involved in Manny talks. I'm guessin Richie is one of the big names involved. Possibly Betancourt too.

[brettac1]

So they would have an OF with Dunn and Ramirez? Yikes. I don't think that will happen, nor do I think Boston would want Griffey. He's not a good defender anymore, and he didn't hit that well last year, either.

 

The Red Sox would certainly want Dunn. Bowden still hearts Griffey, so it's just a matter of what the Reds would get (but, why would the Reds deal with the Nats again?).

[Weirdos19]

Funny how Bowden screwed his former team with the Majewski deal. Unreal.

[mothershipconnection]

also he said that it was multiple teams and that it involves more than 1 superstar.

Manny for Delgado? They have Youkilis, but he's no Delgado.

The Dodgers are interested, perhaps Manny for Furcal and a prospect?

[Invader3K]

A big multiplayer swap between the Yankees and Brewers. A-Rod is coming to Milwaukee.

[GoldGloveSS06]

A Rod for Bill Hall and change? Maybe a pitcher or two?

[brewcrew44]

A big multiplayer swap between the Yankees and Brewers. A-Rod is coming to Milwaukee.

 

Ya I really do not think that is gonna happen, and lets just say we did get a superstar in a big trade... i would take Manny over A-rod.

[MoneyballMan]

Ok, I'm just going to go from thread to thread this week and bring everyone back to reality. A-Rod and Manny are not coming to Milwaukee, unless a) they are traded to a NL club or b) they are traded to an AL club who we play in interleague play next year.

 

Just take a deep breath and stop talking about A-Rod or Manny coming to Milwaukee in a trade.

[PeaveyFury]

People can discuss whatever players they want. I'd imagine that 99% of people here know that AROD and Manny aren't coming to Milwaukee, but it's fun to speculate.

[cancer47]

Guess I must have missed the Jim Bowden comments, since most of you had seen/heard more thatn what's posted here.

 

But I agree. No Manny (is it possible he's worse in LF than Lee?J, and A-Rod (can't have a player making over 1/3 of stated budget!).
