ESPN - Rival executives: Cubs are willing to trade Prior - MLB

On Mark Prior.

I have seen few people who have been as electric as he could be. If the Cubs are willing to take a guy a package like Heilman, Gomez and Vargas, I do it in a heartbeat.

I see...

God help us.

wow, um no.

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE METS WAS AN INSIDE JOB! BLAME OMAR!

Gregory Gewirtz · 11-28-2007, 06:54 PM

Heilman and Gomez is far too much, IMO, but at a lower price, I agree that the Mets should look at Prior.

Dokes · 11-28-2007, 06:58 PM

My friend mentioned this idea at beginning of the off season. If anything it's plan G on Omar's Pitching list

MetfanBren · 11-28-2007, 07:01 PM

Only if we can buy Dusty Baker out of his contract with the Reds in order to continue his development. General Dusty can get 200 innings out of him next year in his sleep...

Agreed on both counts...

Keep in mind the Cubs are trying to trade a guy who's gone from young ace to project in a two year span, and made it be known that they will not attempt to give him a long term extension.

They can't possibly ask for the moon here...

Agreed, but I'd say a MUCH lower price.

Why would the mets trade Heilman, Gomez, et al for a guy that is possibly being non-tendered?

TheeSublimeOne · 11-28-2007, 09:14 PM

I wouldn't mind the Mets taking a chance on this guy. They'd need another "sure thing" in the rotation incase he goes on the DL again. If we can get Haren for Milledge + or heck Santana for half the Mets farm system, it would definitely be a risk worth taking. Santana/Haren, Pedro, Maine, Perez, and Prior could all win 15+ games if healthy.

I'd say testify, but in this case it would be an insult to the intelligence of both you and myself.

Grief good...

He was good Prior to his arm falling off and being sewn back on.

15 Day DL Alou · 11-28-2007, 10:38 PM

honestly his arm has not been heavily operated on, the bigger issue at the moment, why in the world trade your better chips for a guy who has rumored to be non-tendered.

just for comparison no matter how absurd, the brewers dealt their catcher for Mota and were considering non-tendering their catcher...try to honestly wrap your head around that

That was just one poster's suggestion, which for the most part, was disagreed with.

That said, he is someone Omar should keep an eye on.

If they are going to get "projects" for Dr. Rick, this one is worthwhile, IMO.

Deepleft34 · 11-28-2007, 11:39 PM

I don't think much of either guy (Heilman or Gomez), but that is just me. I still think if the Cubs are willing to talk, you take a chance.

Lest we forget our No. 1 pitcher is someone coming off surgeries who many scouts thought his arm would fall off as well.

If Prior has anything left in the tank he could still be great.

And as far as Heilman goes, many writers say the only GM that may still be high on him is Billy Beane. If that is the case save him for Haren/Blanton/Harden, but not taking a look at Prior would be foolish.
