Dickey seeking 3-yrs, $45M, agent wouldn’t be surprised if he’s traded

Or the Rangers go for Upton.

I was thinking why don't we get Ranger and D-Back involved in a 3 way.

Rangers - Dickey

Mets - Upton

Arizona - Specs from both teams

Everyone gets what they want.

Martin Perez was starting games for the Rangers at the age of 21. There is no way anyone should be worried about how many guys he is striking out.

It would be like if we promoted Wilmer Flores to play 2B for us. The dude would get out matched most likely.

Yeah pitchers at 21 would be fresh out of college. But still, 4.9 K/9 in AAA is terrible.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS
even with greinke. word is #dodgers may try for another big free-agent starter. anibal seems to top the rest of their list.

Even better. Hope the Dodgers take everyone they can off the market.

[Sick Of It All]

Dodgers will go nuts.

[metsbulls1025]

Hell they may call up the Mets and offer 100 million in exchange for Dickey.

Or the Rangers go for Upton.

Rangers will continue to try for Upton whether they get Dickey or not.

If they succeed in getting a deal for Upton, I think that would take them out of the market for Hamilton. Would it be crazy to think that Alderson's secret plan in releasing Bay and owing him only $6 million this year, and then getting Wright to defer half of his $16 million for 2013, is to make a run at Hamilton???

Right now he is about $30 million below last year's payroll. If he were to backload a Hamilton contract, he could still have flexibility to sign or trade for additional players to fill holes.

I would take Federowicz+Joc Peterson from the Dodgers for Dickey.

ew.... i don't like Federowicz much, not for Dickey anyway. Seems like he's gonna be a good defensive catcher with a weak bat and not much power. We've had too many of those recently. We could probably get Olt if TEX doesn't sign Greinke which it looks like they won't. And Olt+whoever else we get would be better than Feder+Joc i think. Hell, Olt alone would be better than Feder+Joc

[bklynny67]

Greinke signing with the Dodgers for 6 yrs, $147 million. YES!

[BradHolt4CYoung]

Olt + Justin Grimm for Dickey

[WrightStuff82]

High OBP (.360+), 15 HRs from catcher + Gold Glove defense/arm isn't good enough? I bet your wife has a hell of a time trying to please you.

I'd prefer Olt too, but I think that's as good a Plan B as any.

[YoungStuna]

Olt + Justin Grimm for Dickey

Yeah I might actually prefer Grimm to Perez.

[IAmARanger18]

Olt + Justin Grimm for Dickey

Sign me up.

Where do you get these numbers from dude?

You seriously just make stuff up. He's never even hit 15 HR's in the minors, how can you say he'd be a 15 HR catcher in the Majors? And he's only had 1 yr with a .360 OBP in the minors too...

seriously, stop making stuff up to try to prove something. There's a reason why neither guy u mentioned from the Dodgers are top 100 prospects. There's multiple deals we'd probably be able to make before settling for something like that.

[BradHolt4CYoung]

Yeah I might actually prefer Grimm to Perez.

Grimm could then very well compete for a rotation spot out of ST with us.

Johan-Harvey-Niese-Gee....Grimm/Mejia/Familia/Wheeler

Plug Olt into RF and I still see Toronto as a trade partner with us even if we deal Dickey to Texas. Arencibia can be had for cheap probably(Mazonni + Duda?) and we can platoon him with Thole. I also wonder what it would take include Gose in a deal so we can have a young-awesome outfield of Olt-Gose-Kirk.

Familia, Puello, Havens...maybe these guys can land us Gose.
