Marlins Fire Sale Continues with Willis?

[a700hitter]

I've been mulling two possible trade scenarios in my head. Assuming Manny returns to his normal production, here is a July scenario I could see brewing.

 

Trade Scenario: Red Sox/Mets/Marlins

 

Mets Recieve: OF Manny Ramirez (BOS)

Marlins Recieve: SP Jon Lester (BOS), Mike Pelfry (NYM), Victor Diaz (NYM)

Red Sox Recieve: SP Dontrelle Willis (FLA), Lastings Milledge (NYM)

 

Potential Road Blocks: Xavier Nady continues playing well and the Mets do not need Manny, Marlins actually play well and stay in the race, Red Sox refuse to part with Jon Lester.

 

I only wonder if the Mets think they would be getting enough. Who knows, the Mets always want Manny.

I hate this trade. I think Willis can be had for a package of prospects that would include Lester. I see no reason to move Manny.

Moving Manny AND Lester would be a real bad move IMO. I don't see how you could POSSIBLY get equal value back.

I think he's assuming that we still want to move Manny.

The FO never really wanted to move him. Manny wanted to be moved.

The FO would move Manny if they could get equal value in return but that is not the case.

The Mets would NEVER trade Milledge, Diaz, AND Pelfry for Manny. Omar would need to get a little bit more in return. That would NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER happen in a million years.

^ He's right.

 

That's a little too much for the Mets.

Wait...I'm confused...do you think this trade will go through?

um no

idk if they would want Lester still hes kind of sucking in AAA, hes on the 'not so hot list' on ESPN.com

 

But Lowrie is on the 'hot list'

[CrespoBlows]

Umm.... I think Lester has only had two starts. Kinda premature.
