08:20 AM ET 12.31 | The Diamondbacks still have some time for a makeover. That is, they could look dramatically different on Opening Day than they do today. At the moment, the pieces don't seem to fit. And that's a good problem, or could be. All that seems clear at this point is that general manager Kevin Towers has had himself a terrific offseason. He has strengthened every area of his team. ... If the D-backs opened the regular season today, they'd have Jason Kubel, Justin Upton and [Cody Ross] in the outfield. ... Baseball people are intrigued. Does Towers finally plan to trade Upton after listening to offers for a couple of years? Or will he trade Kubel? Or perhaps one of the kids?

Seems he signed Ross with the intent of dealing Upton or Kubel, but who knows?

I still think that Elvis Andrus for Upton (spare parts thrown in to finish the deal) makes the most sense.

Agreed. I think Andrus, and just Andrus, should net Upton. SSs are more valuable than OFs.

Andrus its not enough to convense the d'backs, the offer should be a little more tentative IF rangers expect positive progress,,

there are certain dark points with Andrus, first, the agent its boras, second the deals with boras always tend to be over the limits, and WHO would like to make any deal with greedy boras??

all in all, the rangers its the team WHO needs outfielders help, the rangers are the one's WHO are more interested than the D'BACKS, and wheever its more interested in the player likely would make a effort in order to land a fair deal,,,

if the rangers or any other teams don't want to part with top prospects, surely deals wouldn't be done anyways!!!

sure from your stand point, but what those GMS from both teams are really thinking?? neither one would like to regret any wrong deal,,

angels and mariners pull a deal, with morales and vargas could this trade hunt the halos in the future?? or benefit the mariners with morales?? then again greedy boras its morales agent and anything could happen in 2014 season,,
alacran
Total Comments (14457)
perhaps the mariners should trade morales at the 2013 mid-season and get as much prospects as they can can...WHY? because there is no guarantee in resigning morales by the 2014 season,,,
