Bailey for Rios being discussed?
per mlbtraderumors:
Elliott also said the Reds are interested in Alex Rios. If the Giants are pondering sending Tim Lincecum to the Jays for him, I imagine the Reds would have to counter with Homer Bailey. Bailey, however, is less proven than Lincecum. |

Re: Bailey for Rios being discussed?
i have always liked Rios too, but to trade a young starter when we NEED starters doesnt make sense,, offer Hamilton straight up for him!

Re: Bailey for Rios being discussed?
Alex Rios is a stud. Bailey is a POTENTIAL stud.
With one you know what you are getting - offensive production. With the other you hope what you might get down the road - Ace pitcher. I would do it and then worry about trading away outfield parts to get pitching later. Rios is that good.

Love rumors that don't make sense.

Re: Bailey for Rios being discussed?
I doubt Toronto would prefer Bailey over Lincecum. It will probably take another prospect in addition to Bailey to trump the Giants offer.

With that said, another prospect probably wouldn't be needed depending on how they value Bailey.

Re: Bailey for Rios being discussed?
Why would this team trade pitching for OF help? That isn't exactly filling our needs

Re: Bailey for Rios being discussed?
If you can trade Bruce and change for Bedard and then flip Bailey for Rios, I think you've done a service to the team.

Re: Bailey for Rios being discussed?
RMR, as much as I like Bruce (or, really, the thought of Bruce), I completely agree.

But turning Bruce and Bailey into Bedard and Rios - thats straight up potential for sure fire above average production. Not to mention Bedard is dominant lefty and Rios is righty on a left handed heavy offensive team.
