A couple of points... We would be dealing from a position of weakness... so given what we could expect in return, we're much better off with DK... As far as Seattle as a potential trade partner?... Never happen as long as Ichiro is "The Man" there... (it's a culture thing)...
We've seen this year how quickly pitching depth can evaporate... All things considered... we're much better off working things out with DK. (imo)
