Diamondbacks trade talks resume

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Personally I would like to see a deal that bring Zito here, I think he just needs a change of atmosphere and he will be back on top. Maybe we can get creative and get a 4 team trade that involves all kind of prospects with Vasquez going to FL, Burnett to Oakland, Zito to AZ and Johnson to NY. Wishful thinking though. Maybe we could also do a swap of Tracy for Chavez, hoping that Oakland will want a young cheaper Tracy, when they konw that Chavez is a year away from a big deal.

Chavez already got his deal and even if he didn't, one of the best 3B in the game would cost us a lot more than Chad Tracy. Zito has gotten progressively worse since his Cy Young campaign. Taking him away from Oakland and into a hitter's park wouldn't help.

I would hate to see us trying to deal with beane anyways..

He would rip our team to shreds.

If I'm the AZ GM, I make these offers. Hoping most if not all get accepted.

1)
Johnson for Vazquez, Cash(Lots of it), and prospects.

2)
A minor prospect, Shea Hillenbrand, and a somewhat "Big" contract to LA For Green.

3)
Hairston, Tracy and __ for Barry Zito


Now of course, these won't happen. But I'd sure as hell try for deals like this.

Beane would never give up Zito unless he got either Quentin or Jackson as part of the deal.

As you said....not happening.

I don't see the Dodgers asking for Hillenbrand in the Green deal. DePodesta is more of an walk-***** than Beane is.

I never thought Beane would trade 2 of the big three, but he did. Maybe he'd be intrested in a 3rd team deal where they get some of our players/prospects and trade Beane a coveted prospect for Zito.

You do NOT want Joe at the same table with Billy Beane. When he pushes back from the table, our cupboard will be bare. Anyhow, unless they can show Zito was injured, Joe won't be interested.
