Tampa Bay Rays

Rays are apparently looking for bullpe a long term closer, and a catcher to make a push THIS year. Why dont we package Bengie Molina and Brian Wilson for one of their top prosepcts. We have Hinshaw to take over for Wilson if he gets traded or injured, also Wilson is finally getting recognized for his great season with an All star selectiion. I dont know much about the Rays farm system but its apparently one of the best in baseball so i think we can find someone that would intrigue us. How about we offer molina and wilson for Brijnaic, apparently he's a really good propspect. Good idea right? Who do you think we could get?

Where did you hear that the Rays were looking for a catcher? They have a solid, cheap catcher in Navarro already. I’m also not sure that they would want to part with Brignac, since they probably see him as the bridge between Bartlett and Beckham. In fact, depending on how he plays while Bartlett is currently hurt, he might be their SS of now.

Navarro just made the All Star team, I don’t think they want an old expensive catcher

if the price was right, i would make that deal. although i am attached to brian wilson after suffering through the Armando years, it’s nice to have a closer i can trust (sort of…)

would have no desire for Bengie, and I think Fuentes would be a better/cheaper option at closer for them. Percival has been good when he’s healthy so I doubt they want to give up what itll take to land an All-Star closer.

Somehow I just don’t see a currently first place and LEGIT team making a big package trade like this to make a push that they’re in the middle of making anyway…

Haha yeah right like they need or want Molina. Wilson we won’t trade. They can just bring up Price or one of their other young arms. Or use Dan Wheeler.
