Report: Rays, Mets, Indians Talking Three-Way; Rays Would Acquire Victor Martinez

According to Mike Silva:

We are hearing dialogue about the Mets/Rays/ and Indians talking about a three way deal. In this scenario Victor Martinez would go to Tampa and not New York. As of now we do not know who the Mets would receive in this scenario.

Only two names make sense here:

1. Scott Kazmir

2. Carlos Pena

Official deadline thread opens at midnight. This could get fun ladies and gents.

so now we just wait for this years trade deadline expert

Ed Price??

how have I never heard of this guy before and he seems to be the guy breaking most of the deals.

If we have to give up Pena so be it

As much as we’ll miss Pena’s home runs and tobacco-free commercials, we won’t miss his strikeouts. There’s enough talent on our roster to produce offense without him and replacing Navi is too much of a needed upgrade.

by Toe Finch on Jul 30, 2009 10:36 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

It was Jason Tyner

but his giveaway was actually cancelled because they sent him down to AAA about a week beforehand. They never rescheduled it and I believe they eventually gave them to a charity. Funny story that reminds us of how far we’ve come as an organization.

I wonder if there is any chance we make a move for a 1B if Pena gets traded

or if we just go with Aybar and I really hope we don’t trade for Martinez to play 1st everyday.

RJ do you know the contract status of Nick Johnson?

by Dbullsfan on Jul 30, 2009 10:21 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

that would kinda make me sad

while he isn’t as bad as Navi, Aybar makes a great first guy off the bench, not so much starting 1B.

yea but if you (AF) believe Sonnanstine is better right now than you make the deal for Martinez

I would assume that they would rather move Pena but they may not get the return needed to send to Cleveland for him.

I would rather see Pena traded if we in turn make a move for another 1B (Johnson, Branyan)

if the result of Pena being traded leads us with Aybar/Kaz/Martinez I’m not big on that I would rather Pena/Sonny/Martinez. Idealy Johnson/Kaz/Martinez

Pena sucks?

His wOBA is .357.

Kaz for VMart does make a lot of sense

Navi C/Vmart 1B vs lefties
VmartC/Pena 1B vs righties

Would still be very sad to see Kaz go, but that would be a good move

I am pretty sure...

there will be zero situations in which Navi will play over Pena

Well VMart probably will not catch full time

Given how bad Navi has been vs RHP, it makes sense to catch VMart on those days. Really its a question of VMart vs Pena. VMart 3 yrs .828 vs LHP, Pena about .760

I'm not sure this trade is gonna happen

First off, what would the Mets chip in, they have no prospects, as half of the, are bad or playing right now. And the Indians don’t want payroll, and I can’t see the Mets wanting payroll either, although they do need help at both SP & 1B. Also, if Kaz/Pena goes, where does that leave the team in the pennant race? is 2009 over or is it all for 2010 and Martinez is an injury risk too so can he play everyday at C/1B?

Trade Burrell

Why can’t we trade Burrell? Hell I would give him away if we could to just rid ourselves of him. Hes a true team cancer and has single handily ruined our playoff chances. Hes just so bad and all he does is strikeout. Has NO Quality at bats. Jesus Christ Aybar is a hell of a lot better suited for DH.

I would assume that Kazmir is the guy the Mets want instead of Pena

but if Pena does get moved and I was Andrew Friedman I would give SD a call and see exactly what the price is for Adrian Gonzalez before making a deal of Martinez.

How man wins

is Pena worth? How much worse would it be if Aybar started and had V-mart help at 1B too? Would Chris Richard/Rhyne Hughes wouldn’t be a bad edition in September?

by reachin on Jul 31, 2009 3:19 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Aybar over Pena

I hope it’s CP23 that goes if this Mets/Indians/rays deal happens…Aybar at least hits for average when he plays, and does have the power to hit 20 homers if he plays everyday.

Kaz for the most part has looked much better since coming back from the DL.

Mets may want Pena, due to Delagado’s age and injuries…not to mention Pena makes much less money, and is an upgrade with the glove.

If this deal happens, I’d say we send Pena to the Mets and Sonny and a prospect to the Indians.
