Re: Trade Idea- Freel for Ramon Hernandez?
Random note that was posted on the Orioles board (and this is killing me today with it affecting my two favorite teams, LOL :laugh: ):

The trade in which the Orioles will send catcher Ramon Hernandez to the Reds for utility man Ryan Freel is expected to be announced today.
Another mention at the Baltimore Sun: http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/spor...de_update.html

Apparently, the Ramon Hernandez deal is slightly sweeter for the Orioles than previously reported. The O's are believed to be getting two mid-level prospects and fourth outfielder Ryan Freel for Ramon.
Just waiting for an announcement.
They better not be two higher level prospects if it is indeed two players! :eek:

I'd prefer to hang onto Heisey as I think he could develop into a decent major leaguer. I'd offer Freel + Watson and see if they bite. If they absolutely insist on Heisey being in the deal then I may bite, especially if he really is a Type A FA.

Heisey + Freel for Hernandez?
Sign me up.
My guess is it could be one of the guys who could be exposed to the Rule 5. The Orioles get their pick.

I'm not liking the looks of this at all.

He is... http://www.nypost.com/seven/11042008...ngs_136998.htm
Hernandez's last two seasons were down years and they still netted him Type A status this year, so barring injury next year it's likely he'd qualify as a Type A guy again.
But my question still stands, are the Reds allowed to decline his option for 2010 and then turn around and offer him arb?

Deal done? Holds on

Just saw Reds PR Rob Butcher leave a meeting and walked rapidly toward where he might write a press release. My guess: The Ramon Hernandez-for-Ryan Freel deal is about to be announced.
Just spoke to Butcher. No announcement is scheduled -- yet.
The Baltimore Sun guys believe the deal is awaiting approval of the commissioner's office.
Stay tuned.

Why is that?
Like Freel or Heisey that much, or dislike Hernandez that much?

nm
BTW, how'd I do with my trade idea?;)
Re: Trade Idea- Freel for Ramon Hernandez?
You can just about bet it will be 2 mid-level decent 'spects, Wayne will see to that. My guess is Freel, Maloney/Wood & Turner/Henry. Those guys are decent prospects but are maybe a tad undervalued here. I hope it's more like Freel, Cumberland & Jukich for Hernandez and 2 Mill.

Oh it's not about Freel.
I just don't like the thought of throwing in two prospects. Mid level or not.
Re: Trade Idea- Freel for Ramon Hernandez?
Wayne traded for Cumberland, Henry & Jukich. Maybe he will again.

The Baltimore Sun reported on its website that the deal could be announced very soon.
Re: Trade Idea- Freel for Ramon Hernandez?
Done (almost)
3:28 p.m. -- Reds, O's agree on trade
The Reds have reached preliminary agreement with the Orioles on a trade that will send catcher Ramon Hernandez to Cincinnati for outfielder Ryan Freel and two prospects, according to a major-league source.
The deal is pending the approval of the commissioner's office, because it involves a cash transaction of more than $1 million.

Jocketty: We'll have somethnig

Just talked to Walt Jocketty. He would not say that the Ramon Hernandez-for-Ryan Freel deal is done.
But he hinted that it's close.
"I'll tell you all about it later," he said.
Does that mean you'll have something to announce?
"We're meeting at 4:15, right?" Jocketty said.
That's the time of our daily meeting.
But as walked away, he said: "We'll have something."
The Baltimore Sun guys believe the deal is awaiting approval of the commissioner's office because the Orioles will send $1 million to the Reds in the deal.
Stay tuned.
