I give up: Paul Konerko, Joe Borowski, David Weathers, Moises Alou

I get: Aaron Harang, Bobby Jenks, Chipper Jones, Magglio Ordonez

-----

I'm thinking this is a no-brainer, right? We can only start 4 closers, and I'm sitting on 5 (although none are great), so to consolidate 2 for 1 and get a guy like Jenks should help. I get a pretty good SP in Harang, upgrade in my OF from Alou to Maggs. Giving up Konerko at my CI spot could hurt some, especially since Chipper is a good bet to miss time, but with daily lineups I can swap in other guys and not miss too much. Guy I'm trading with is hurting because he only has 2 closers (Jenks and BJ Ryan), and he missed out on Frasor and any other closer pickups. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 
:clap: Nice job. You took him to the cleaners.
Well, we're still in negotiations, so not there yet. He's asking for Liriano, who I picked up for $1 at the end of our draft...he is a potential keeper for 1-2 years at $1 (we have to name them a week before our draft, so mid-March of 08). Figured he was worth a flier, but could also be used as trade bait. Does that really weaken the deal? Maybe I should offer him Vazquez instead?
 
Negotiations are still ongoing, but it looks like this might be the deal:

Konerko, Lofton (who I just picked up), Borowski, Vazquez

for

Magglio Ordonez, Julio Lugo, Roy Halladay

-

Having Santana/Halladay/Cain should be very solid for me, and I think Ordonez/Lugo can match Konerko/Lofton. My closers get weakened in giving up Borowski, but we can only start 4 so I always had one on the bench. Having the WAS/KC closers aren't the greatest, but saves are saves and getting Halladay is too good to pass up.
