Tim Hudson just suffered a serious leg injury. What can the Braves offer for Santana?

DeezNutz 07-24-2013 07:43 PM

And I'm probably going to have to pass on Rios.

Stupidity isn't isolated to the Royals org

Giants manager Bruce Bochy indicated Wednesday that Jeff Francoeur will be his regular left fielder going forward.
Francoeur is making his third straight start in left Wednesday, and two of those have come against right-handers. "(He's) a proven major league hitter, and this offense needs help," Bochy said of Francoeur. Frenchy has put up a hideous .228/.277/.362 batting line since the beginning of last season

They were already on the verge of putting Medlen in the pen because they had too many starters. They'll just bring up Beachy and roll with the guys they have.

Good to see the Royals going after Rios. We still have holes on this team for 2014 that needs to be filled.

And Rios would help fill exactly none of them, while costing a shit ton. From Rany:

"Trading for Alexis Rios is comical on many levels. Starting with the fact it's far from clear he's better going forward than David Lough."

Let's hope that DM doesn't make a very costly mistake.

I like Santana a lot, and he seems to genuinely like KC. But his jekyll-hyde nature makes him too big a risk for KC.

Who knows, though. They resigned Guthrie after last season because they were trying to compete. Maybe the same thing happens with Santana. I'd rather see them sell high with him at the trade deadline, but we'll see.

Bob Dutton was on 610 today saying that the trade market is really soft for a starting pitcher and the Royals wouldn't get that much in return for him. Said we'd be better off keeping him for the rest of the year and then seeing if we can sign him to a 3-4 year deal than trading him right now.

That market must have been really soft given how much the Rangers paid for Garza. :spock:

This is likely bullshit....Royals would be stupid to re-sign him

He will have value come deadline time

Agreed...

That is why this will happen.

Not a fan of Rios since he has not done that great year in and year out

He said what the Rangers traded for Garza is overvalued and that the Rangers were one of the only teams calling around looking for a SP.

Dutton was likely trying to defend showing his ass on twitter the other day when he started freaking out about possibly trading Holland.

Why would the Rangers overpay if they didn't have competing offers for Garza? Garza was going to be traded either way. It sounds to me like Dutton is speculating and trying to pass it off as fact.
