BBTN said "The Reds are pushing very hard to get starting pitching"

let me be the first to say "It sounds made up."

Re: Trade rumor from WLW
 

Greg Maddux in a Reds uniform, keeeeeewl. Pleeease let this trade happen.

Re: Trade rumor from WLW
 

been listening to wlw and haven't heard anything yet. anyone else heard this?

Re: Trade rumor from WLW
 

No thanks to Maddux...prob. have to overpay for a guy who has been getting knocked around of late. If he could be had without giving up major talent then ok.....

Wonder what Zito will command as far as trade?

Re: Trade rumor from WLW
 

Talking to Zito??? That must mean they have a deal in place, and they are discussing $$$? Hmmm, I doubt that 1 gets done. And I am actually concerned about what we would have to deal too get him!

Re: Trade rumor from WLW
 

I would take a chance on Maddux if its a mid-level prospect that gets it done. But I wouldn't give up much, even if it's a name #5 starter. I'd almost rather have Cory Lidle.

Re: Trade rumor from WLW
 

No offense to our Reds but Maddux has a no trade clause. I don't think he would approve a trade here (I wish he would though). His home is in Vegas. He would probably only approve a trade on the west coast or MAYBE Atlanta.

Re: Trade rumor from WLW
 

If we get either one, I'd also look for Bailey to be brought up and placed into a limited relief role.

Re: Trade rumor from WLW
 

ESPN insider says he (Maddux) would also consider the Mets now.

Re: Trade rumor from WLW
 

I know, but Maddux being my favorite player and the Reds being my favorite team, one can dream I guess. There's always the Xbox to where I can get him on a Reds team:thumbup:

Re: Trade rumor from WLW
 

According to the STLToday.com the Reds are interested in..."Rodrigo Lopez, SP, Orioles He has terrific stuff, but he has been a disastrous performer this season in Baltimore. Perhaps moving to a contender – and several top teams are interested, including the Reds – would spur better performance down the stretch."

Re: Trade rumor from WLW
 

If the trade is for Zito, the Reds won't be bringing up Bailey - the A's will...next year.

Re: Trade rumor from WLW
 

That reminds me the night I heard Tom Seaver was traded to the Reds. Before that, he was one of my favorite opposing players. I can understand you wanting this to happen. (fingers crossed)
