Barton Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I want a frontline starter for Arod first and foremost. Cabrera would be great though. Isnt Aramis Ramirez a FA? We could sign him and trade Arod for pitching. Fill more holes, make the team stronger.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I want a frontline starter for Arod first and foremost. Like anyone would give up a frontline starter for a $20 million a year joke. Seriously, who would pay his contract AND give up their best pitcher to get him? A-Rod is a Yankee to stay until his contract expires, its time to face facts. In the meantime, there's some good playoff baseball to be watched right now. You might want to check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uart Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Miguel Cabrera is the BEST POSSIBLE thing you can get for ARod (plus a bundle of cash). You aren't getting a top starter for ARod. We'll need to trade someone else (matsui? pleasegodplease) for a young arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REASONABLE contract? If by "reasonable" you mean "biggest in ML history". Why would the Marlins, with a budget of less than $30 million, double their payroll for A-Rod and give up a superstar? They can get more for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer, skippy, is that the Rangers are paying a good part of A-Rod's salary, and the Yankees would pick up some as well. Whoever gets A-Rod could have him for 11-13 mil a year, and THAT is a bargain for his production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can get more for him. as usual a stupid mets fan talking out of his ass. arod MAKES 25 million a year HOWEVER the rangers pay 9 million of that which leaves 16 million that is VERY reasonable considering his production. and i'm sure the yankees would pick up some of that if they wanted to trade him. his contract is VERY tradable.

GimmeShelter Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Why would Florida trade Cabrera at 23 yrs old for ARod unless the Yanks pick up almost the entire remaining money on his contract? Also, no way in hell ARod waves his no trade to play in front of 25 people a night. Maybe the Yanks new manager shows ARod a little support and demands Capt Image do the same rather than letting Jason(I asked out of a 2003WS game) Giambi become the voice of the team. Yankees were no hit for 8 straight innings this w/end so the problem wasn't just ARod. By the way Sweet Lou should be a great choice with the complete lack of patience he shows with young pitching staffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Stamp your feet and cry, 'cause A-rod is Lou's boy. So if that's the move, don't expect A-rod to go anywhere except back to 3rd base and the cleanup spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavrik Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Any POSSIBLE way we can eat Arods contract and trade for him?

madmike1 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 You really think a team with the lowest payroll in the league and comprised of rooks is gonig to trade for a 25 million dollar 3rd baseman?probably won't work out with the marlins unless they get a move through but that dosn't mean that arod isn't VERY tradable. he also won't be cl ose to a 25 million dollar play erfor them.

Bugg Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 While Hicks kicks in a chunk of A-rod's salary, and the Yanks might pick up some more, why would a team who cut their payroll to a mere $17 million to not pay Brad Penny and Juan Pierre suddenly going to at least double that to pay A-rod?

Luria's whole MO is to draw flies to either get Miami and Florida to build him a new stadium or allow him to move to Vegas, Portland or the Carolinas. The man is a carpet-bagging douchebag looking to turn a buck in the long-term like he did with the Expos. A-rod doesn't really help that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krink Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 If you yankee fans think the marlins would trade Cabrera (a winner in the playoffs) for the biggest loser on the biggest stage, I want what you are smoking. Face it, you will have to almost give him away, no one is going to give you a #1 pitcher or hitter for his salary and the way he chokes when the pressure is on.

Jetsfan80 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 because arod will get their fans out to the ballpark unlike those guys. News flash, Marlins fans will not show up until they move. No one cares about them. There are better things to do in Florida than go to a baseball team with crappy ownership. Stop trying to assume that everyone wants A-Rod and will gladly pay half his contract to have him. If A-Rod is as good as you all are making him seem in this thread, then why do you want him gone so badly? Exactly. He's a POS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Arod for Dontrelle Willis is probably more likely than getting Cabrera from them. Point is, that Arod is very tradeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 dont expect jetsfan80 to understand , he thinks David Wright has a shot at having a better career than Alex And why not? He batted near .500 in the division series and had one of the highest averages in the clutch as a 24-year old. That's more than A-Rod has accomplished when its mattered.

No one is busting down the doors to get him. And once again I must ask: If he is as much of a God as you all are making him out to be, then why do you want to trade him so badly? Other GM's would be asking the same thing if the Yankees tried to deal him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barton Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 wow you guys are very stubborn.

I agree either a change of scenary or a change of team leadership will dot he trick with Alex if you feel he is the sole problem.

Miggy could very well prove to be an upgrade in the clutch situations when it counts. Besides, once again: YOUTH, SPEED, BALANCE <-- Things we need. 9 Grizzled veteran power hitters is about as effective as a Single-A team in the playoffs. Lets get guys who can make things happen. Miguel Cabrera would be a GREAT fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
