Whatever, thats like when you find out that some chick thinks you are below her standard, and she’s totally beat anyway.

If we have to give up Marson or Carrasco for Fuentes,forget him then…He’s not worth giving up those prospects for.

You cant trade players on the DL. Also the phils will do nothing. I have no problem with them keeping the prospects. If anything unload eaton or myers if you can

I think Burnett sucks.. i did back before he signed that deal and I think so even more now that he’s never developed any more… is he better than what we have, Yes…but not at a high cost..

Alright, Im gonna go watch myself some Futures game.. and then hope taht Webb keeps his suspect-pitching going. cause he hasn’t looked too sharp lately

Maybe theyre just trying to lower Burnetts price by saying they arent interested. I dunno. Thats a guy you should be able to get cheap. If he didnt have the career numbers he has he would be on the B list too. But hes way overvalued now.

Maybe Id better take another look at the B list, which is a scary thought.

They needed to make an early move like the one for Harden.

Now from here on out the price tag will go way up for someof these players that have 15 teams interested in them. Even the injured Freddy Garcia will get a decent deal from someone. The pricetag for Fuentes will be way too high by the time he gets moved.

Burnett is not worth what Ive been hearing the tag is for him.

THe problem is there will be an open slot that they need to fill. Happ will replace Eaton but Myers doesnt look trustworthy so theres an empty slot there.

This is what I hate about “TRADE RUMORS” sites and stuff…. The Phillies and Blue Jays have had scouts at each others games… does this mean that the BJays don’t think Donald is good enough to play SS ??

I hope they don’t give up the farm for Fuentes, cause isn’t he a free agent after this season? If you could get him for this year and next year, its a good move though.

I wonder how available Bedard actually is, he’s on the DL retroactively to free up a roster spot beween his last and next start. The Mariners want something of value back and they like Carrasco but thankfully looks like he’s staying put. Unfortunately the words out on Gillick being desperate and rumors of his future suggest there’s a conflict of interest dealing with Seattle.

It’s just a damn shame Lowe went off the Market.
