General managers with shopping lists already are making calls to the Marlins and Royals (14 arbitration-eligible players) about possible trades. San Francisco, desperate for a proven bat, is expected to pursue one-dimensional second baseman Dan Uggla. The Giants also may kick the tires on first baseman Paul Konerko of the White Sox and Derrek Lee of the Cubs, both of whom have full no-trade clauses. They probably would have to deal a young pitcher—Jonathan Sanchez or Matt Cain. They're considered expendable because lefty Madison Bumgarner is climbing fast. …

the angels are offering kendrick, weaver, matthews and figgins

paulie is anaheim-bound

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

there's no way we can let kenny flip the captain for

some young arm. sabean’s still got it as a gm if he pulls this off.

agreed. Sabean is an astute judge of talent and pulls off excellent trades.

I’d be careful if I were Kenny.

Sabean definitely deserved AL GM of the year after the pierzynski heist

I like it, but I think we could be flexible with respect to the cash

I, for one, would be willing to consider a player to be named (ie Posey) instead of cash, but like I said, I’m flexible.

why don't they give the present lineup

one more year? they made the post season, and with a healthy rotation and a playing Carlos Quentin we would be playing tonight.
don’t tear it all up yet, get rid of Griifey yes, but bring in Barry Bonds, we need those sluggers

Is cain for Konerko not even a legitimate possibility?

I would do it in a heartbeat, and sabean is pretty damn dumb, but is he that dumb? I just seen a lot of sarcasm on this thread, and was wondering if they were even remotely fair trading. stress on the remotely.

I'd be shocked if we could even net Sanchez for Konerko

We may end up with that Pablo Ozuna clone that the Giants have who kept popping up in Crede rumors last Spring. I don’t remember his name, probably because he sucks.
