Eric Byrnes and Chad Tracey for Adrian Beltre and Endy Chavez. You move Reynolds to 1B for good. Beltre is solid with the glove and can give us a real #4. Both with salary guys need new teams. The salaries match pretty even which is important for the D-Backs. Seattle has a young guy ready to take over 3B and Chad can back him up. Byrnes can be the 4th guy in the OF. Chavez can the 4th guy here and Beltre the everyday 3B.

Beltre and Chavez are free agents at the end of the season, so Seattle would probably rather just let their contracts expire than take on Eric Byrnes who is signed for 2010.

This trade in particular won't happen (good effort anyways bankybruce), but I think some moves are going to have to be made.

Who do we even have that another team would be interested in? I would like to see us move Davis if we could get a young bat in return or some solid young bullpen arms.

Something obviously has to be done with some of the outfielders. Byrnes and Young are untradable and Parra and Upton are untouchable, Jackson will either need to be moved to 1st again or needs to be dealt.

Who do yall see on our roster that would be of any interest to someone else? (Aside from the people who we would obviously not be willing to part with.)

These are candidates

I think Tracey, Jackson, Garland, Davis, Lopez and even Montero could be trade bait. Lopez and Garland are on 1 year deals and are not worth big money and extensions. Chris Young might be tradeable if someone thinks a change might help him
