I have seen a lot of speculation on other forums, news sites, and magazines that many teams covet Ryan Freel. What would you want for him? He does seem to be an extremely valuable trading chip that wouldn't tear apart our offense.
I have seen the some suggestions, such as:
Horacio Ramirez
(SP, Atlanta Braves, 26 yrs old, $2.2 mil, career 4.13 ERA/1.4 WHIP)
for Ryan Freel
Javier Vazquez (SP, Chicago White Sox, 30 yrs old, $12 mil, career 4.34 ERA/1.27 WHIP)
for Ryan Freel
On the Vazquez deal the Reds would likely take on most of the salary. The White Sox might pay $4 mil.
Thoughts?
