View Full Version : Arod for Beltran & Wright?
This is just for discussion. I'm not saying we should trade Arod. The papers are getting dull because everyday they post the same articles about the same old stuff.
But if it was possible would you do a Arod for Beltran & Wright trade?
Reason for Yankees to do the trade:
Gets the Yankees younger (Wright is 22 and Beltran is 28)
Solves Yankee CF problem
Lowers Payroll. (Combined they make 12 million in 2006, well 12 million for Beltran and league minimum for Wright. With Arod, CF and 3rd could be 25-26 million. 17 million for Arod and 8-9 million for a CF) With the saved money, Yankees might be able to get a player like Giles to also help out the offense.
Wright and Beltran should be able to make up Arod's offense
Reason for Mets to do the trade:
Mets get that stud to replace Piazza and to be the face of the franchise
Clears a path for Miledge to be the everyday CF.
Minaya wants to make a big splash by getting a big name
Gets a player who can be a legitimite number 3 hitter.

... This is such a stupid idea. I have a million reasons, and only one is needed.. this will never happen. A-Rod is just hated on by too many Mets fans for them to bite on trading away their future stud for him.
I don't want to breach community standard but this sort of idea is absurd for a ton of reasons.

We pay A-Rod $16 million a year after what Texas is paying. Our payroll would go up.
Mets would never do that trade so this is utterly pointless. Its on the same level as Proctor for Pujols.
The Mets wouldn't trade Wright even up for A-Rod.

On a strictly cost basis, the Mets wouldn't trade Wright. period.
He was probably the second or at worst third best hitting 3B in the NL, not to mention a pretty good fielder, and making the league minimum. In order to get the idea of trading a guy like Wright would cost. Think Duncan, Hughes and maybe another top tier prospect.

Mets have plenty of young guys who can replace Piazza eventually.
Milledge gives the mets a reason to get rid of Cameron.
Minaya will make a big splash when he trades for Manny.
Wright can develop into a legitimate number 3 hitter.
Mets would just be replacing 2 very good young players with 1 very good player. It doesn't make sense. I'd be worried about finding a guy to save games if I were Minaya.

No doubt.
I like discussing off the wall trade ideas, but I doubt the Mets and Yankees would trade players of such caliber with each other. I always thought that the Cubs would be a perfect place to trade A-Rod if the Yankees ever wanted to, you could get Ramirez to play 3rd, maybe get Murton or Pie for an outfeild spot and get a pitcher like Zambrano and a maybe another prospect or two. I would take that in a heartbeat if offered.

Pie, Zambrano and Ramirez for A-Rod? Thats it, they better throw in Derek Lee, we would be getting shafted

I guess alot if dependent on what prospects get sent by the Cubs but Ramirez is pretty good offensivley, not in A-Rod's class but no slouch either and I dont think he has peaked yet. We would get a workhorse in Zambrano and a great prospect in Pie and maybe we cant get Berg back from them. Just throwing it out there.

The poster said the idea was mostly hypothetical, so I don't see what all the complaining is about. Of course the Yankees aren't trading A-Rod and the Mets aren't trading Wright. But the real deal killer, besides reality (LOL) is Beltran. Truth be told, he kind of sucked last year. He's paid way too much. Beltran would clear waivers easily, IMHO. Even if trading A-Rod and Wright were possibilites, throwing Beltran in there just makes the deal way too imbalanced.

He is better than everyone else on the planet except a healthy steriod filled Barry Bonds.

I would, too.
And I'm probably in the minority, but I'd trade him straightup for Wright as well.
A-Rod is a best player, the best in the majors IMO, but I doubt he has another 2005 type season while I think Wright will continue to get better and better while being much cheaper.
