Guest Orangeboy Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Heard today that the Rockies and A's are close to a deal. Matt Holliday would be headed to Oakland while the A's would send Huston Street back to the Rockies in return.
bullets13 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 an average closer for a top-notch outfielder???
Guest Orangeboy Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 The Rockies would also get outfielder Carlos Gonzalez who is supposed to be pretty dang good.
Gabe Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 Still not sure I like the trade on the Rockies side of things.
bullets13 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 the deal's done, but the details are not. just saw it on espn.com
Guest Orangeboy Posted November 11, 2008 Report Posted November 11, 2008 If I'm the Rockies I hold on to him, but I saw they think they will be losing their closer so they think they need to make the deal to fill that spot. Holliday's agent is Scott Boras so it doesn't suprise me. The small market teams just can't hang on to guys like him
bullets13 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 The final trade was: Holiday for Huston Street, Greg Smith, and Carlos Gonzalez
Guest Orangeboy Posted November 14, 2008 Report Posted November 14, 2008 The final trade was: Holiday for Huston Street, Greg Smith, and Carlos Gonzalez I guess if you have to trade him, they got some quality guys for him here.
AJ25 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 didnt have a choice but to trade him. street is a better option at close than fuentes
Guest Orangeboy Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 If the A's aren't in contention at the trade deadline he will be dealt again.
