What the hell would Nats have to do to get Q/Eaton?

Do want. Luhnow should counter their offer.

I don't see how Eaton would fit into it for us but I want Quintana.

Eaton in CF, George in RF and Reddick in LF

I suspect they'd want Teo or Jake as part of the deal so the one we keep can be the 4th outfielder. Eaton is an ideal leadoff man and excellent defender.

I suspect the Sox would have interest in Reed since Jose Abreu's troubles with inside pitches has been exposed. McHugh or Fiers would make sense going back to them in the deal as well.

Yeah, I just don't think we'd trade for eaton since we already have Aoki, Springer, Reddick, etc.

Aoki is meaningless in this if you get an upgrade. He has trade value so he is easily dealt away.

We could lock down an excellent OF for years by grabbing Eaton. That makes Fisher and even Ted Tucker expendable for upgrades as well.

Eaton, CF
Bregman, 3B
Altuve, 2B
Correa, SS
Beltran/Gattis, DH
Springer, RF
McCann/Gattis, C
Reddick, LF
Gurriel, 1B

Look at that sexy lineup.

This may be a case where Nats say, "look, we want Eaton AND Quintana" -- and if their package contains a specific piece that the WS want, even if the Astros offer a better package for a Q-only trade, then I can see the WS demanding the two-fer.

Eaton in CF, Reddick in LF, Springer in RF. Would be a hell of an outfield.

Eaton
Bregman
Altuve
Correa
Springer
Beltran/Gattis
Reddick
McCann
Gurriel

I'd dig it.

From SoxTalk --
quote:

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 02:06 PM) * Is something like this enough for Q: RHp Francis Martes, OF Kyle Tucker, 3B JD Davis, OF Jason Martin, LHP Reymin Guduan? Martes is #29 in baseball and their top prospect. Tucker is #50 overall. JD Davis is bat first 3B. Martin is tools flyer with big power in lower minors and Guduan is LH reliever that hits 100 with bad control.

Replace Martin and Guduan with Reed and I'm in.

Not sure if I'd turn either of those two trades down. I wouldn't exactly like to lose Reed though. I know I'm in the minority here, but I do believe Reed is going to be a stud 1B.

I'd do the first one. JD Davis is meaningless to me and Jason Martin a long shot to be anything. I've held out hope Guduan could be a bullpen option for us but if he can't stop walking almost a batter an inning then he won't make it, either.

Matt Holliday to the Yankees... EE's market is shrinking fast.

Will not be surprised if Luhnow jumps back in with an offer just enough to finish second place in the EE sweepstakes.


ETA:
Somebody from tSECRant is now posting on SoxTalk. Complete lunacy now.

F*** it, I'll throw some s*** out there because I'm bored while waiting for the next trade to drop. How about Q + Jones to Houston for Kyle Tucker, AJ Reed, Joe Musgrove and Francis Martes?

Yeah, Beltran to Houston and Holliday to NYY was really the beginning of Edwin's market collapsing

Give EE a 3-year deal where he can opt out after 1.

Trade for Quintana or Archer.

Sign Boone or trade for a legit lefty reliever.

Play in October.

Would love the Boone signing.

It's not getting much attention considering our need for a rotation piece and some names we've been linked with....but people are forgetting how badly we need Sipp to bounce back or have another LOOGY in the pen

Now reports coming out that Nats and White Sox are working on a deal for Eaton. Quintana wasn't mentioned though which is great news for us




ETA: but I just saw Tags tweet this:
quote:

As far as acquiring Jose Quintana, the price is really high from what I've heard.



White Sox beat writer added this as well:

Heard it is just Eaton being discussed in the deal on the White Sox side

Damn, Eaton goes to Nats for Giolito (top 5 overall prospect), Reynaldo Lopez (top 40 overall prospect) and Dane Dunning (Nats #6 or so prospect - middle to back end rotation kinda guy)

How much yall think they want for Q if they just landed that?
