Dontrelle to Yanks?
Both Foxsports and WFAN radio report that the Yankees have approached the Marlins about Dontrelle Willis, offering Humberto Sanchez and Melky Caberra. No word on the Marlins response [I think they would be nuts to agree, but I can hope, can't I?].

Re: Dontrelle to Yanks?
GOM your gonna cause heart attacks for the weak hearted mebers of RSN with post like this 
Yes it be a wonderful pick up for you guys, but i'm glad you kept your feet firmly on the ground by saying you could dream couldn't you  . To get Willis, your probably looking at Melky( which he realy isn't the type of OF they want, they want a CF, and Melky is shady at best in CF), Sanchez, and probably two more high prospects. I think you would have to depart with your farm ace Hughes.
The reason I think it would be so hi of a cost is as soon as teams find out that Willis is available, your going to have alot of teams interested and driving up the price. Most teams including the Red Sox( not saying they are but using them for argument sake) would easily beable to match a Melky, Sanchez package. EX. They could easily throw in Crisp/Ellsbury and two more of there arms that are in the minors. Which in my mind and not just because i'm a Sox fan is a better deal then what the NYY are offering. If Willis goes to NY, just expect to lose alot more prospects/players then just the two. |

Re: Dontrelle to Yanks?
Marlins easily could do better than Melky Cabrera and Humberto Sanchez.

Re: Dontrelle to Yanks?
That is a pretty silly trade offer.

Re: Dontrelle to Yanks?
The Marlins would ask for Wang and Melky, and maybe settle on Hughes and Melky.

Re: Dontrelle to Yanks?
I wouldn't trade Wang for Willis straight up.
I'm just reporting what I heard driving home, and then found online, with the disclaimer that the Marlins would be nuts to agree. Maybe Marlins ownership hates the Sox, and figures that getting Ramirez and Sanchez wasn't enough. Who knows?

I am sure that Marlins' management is motivated by hatred of the Red Sox.  Too bad they didn't take that into account before they beat the Yankees in the 2003 World Series.

Re: Dontrelle to Yanks?
Josh Beckett
Marlins get Hanley Ramirez, Anibal Sanchez, Harvey Garcia, Jesus Delgado
Dontrelle Willis
Marlins get Melky Cabrera, Humberto Sanchez
Yeah Marlins asked that much from Boston because they have pure hatred for them... then take it up the ass by the Yanks for giving up Dontrelle for a lot less than Boston's package for Beckett?

Re: Dontrelle to Yanks?
We also got Lowell, and the player everyone forgets Guiellermo Mota, who was supposed to be a huge part of our bullpen before he was included in the Crisp deal. Oh well though, he has fell off since his days setting up Gagne.

Re: Dontrelle to Yanks?
They said no to Hansen and Elsburry yet they're supposed to be considering this?

The Sox had to take Lowell because it was a salary dump attached to Beckett, and Mota was added because of Boston's concerns about preliniary bad reports on Beckett's shoulder
