2012 Winter Meetings Rumors & Discussion (12/2 - 12/6)

I think we may be in for another season of #300ordie.

BDawk videos were the highlight of the 2012 season.

I was thinking with all this "3 way & 4 way talk" around Justin Upton and considering we obviously arent going to be competitive for another couple of years...IF we were approached by the rangers and dbacks to give up Castro what would be realistic value from both the clubs..Obviously texas would do this to keep from having to deal andrus so they would have to pay a premium to get upton and NOT trade andrus as reported. Would anyone deal castro? Not to belabor the point, but isnt much going on so i was just pondering out loud-

Dbacks get Castro+Garza
Rangers get Upton
Cubs get Skaggs+Bauer+Holland+Olt+Buckel

Close? and please don't flame away..just making convo and curious of his value. A move like that sets up our rotation for years and Baez is hopefully just around the corner

I'd do this

Anyone that bashes ABTY or Marlin is an idoit. These guys do a great job giving us info we would never normally get. They should be appreicated on here. They have lives to live and for them to take out time to tell us things and expect nothing in return is very generous of them. Keep up with the great work guys.

Wonder what our offer to Brandon McCarthy look like? Any ideas?

Haven't heard anything. I'd guess it's competitive.

I really haven't heard around what anybody is offering him. He's probably still waiting for Greinke to sign.

[scarylarry23]

I haven't been paying that much attention. Who's said we're in on McCarthy? That'd be fantastic.

[Mell413]

Marlin agrees with me. Maybe I'm not that far off after all?

Pretty sure Levine said we have offer on the table for him. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'd love McCarthy on a 3 year deal

[StrandedCub]

You are correct. There was an article earlier today where he mentions it on ESPN Chicago.

[cubsfan2206]

With a guy like Blanton getting 2/15 I gotta think McCarthy is at a minimum getting 3/20. Most likely higher
