There are a ton of Metsfans out there who would love to try out being the GM of the Mets and I am no different. Now starting pitching has been a big issue so I am going to put on my GM cap and cook up a few possible trade scenarios.
Mets give Wilmer Flores, Eddie Kunz, Daniel Murphy, and Nick Evans.
Padres give Jake Peavy and Brian Giles.
Well you got to give talent to get talent don't you? However this isn't as bad as it looks. Wilmer Flores is a nice prospect, one of the few we have but he's a 3b and that is already occupied by an all-star, Mr. David Wright(struggling currently, but he'll turn it around). Eddie Kunz could be a future closer but we got K-Rod now don't we? Now Daniel Murphy has a ton of upside can who knows could be a 20+ maybe 30+ outfielder who hits 300+ and could possible steal 20+ bases. He has shown brief surges of power the past two years. Nick Evans is a possible 3rd outfielder who could probably hit 10-15 homers in the majors. Last but not least this helps the Padres cut payroll something they are trying to do.
Jake Peavy. The tandem of Santana and Peavy would be the best 1-2 in baseball. Peavy will get more run support in NY and should help Omar in his quest to give the Mets his certain "edge." The rotation would be right where it should be everyone back a slot. 1- Santana 2- Peavy 3- Pelfrey 4- Maine 5- Perez maybe? Redding? Livan? The rotation would look that much stronger. Also lets not forgot Brian Giles. As we give up Murphy, Giles should provide stable production in left along with better defense. Sure he may not have as much upside, but he is a consistent performer and consistency wins a championship.
Win Win trade for both teams.
