    So, is it official yet? Are we sellers now?

    7.5 out, a team-wide hitting slump and with two teams ahead of us- one of which who just swept our collective ass.

    Yeah, I think we’re sellers now. But if we’re not sellers yet, we’re a fly’s hair away from it.

    Ichirolling51 Romine is the guy I was thinking about. Would like to see him over Montero becaue he would be much cheaper. I am not sure how much the Yankees will deal with us after last year. Z used them to get Smoak from Texas.

    If it helps them get closer to a division title and a shot at the whole thing THIS year, the Yankees will talk turkey with us. The Smoak deal is probably water under the bridge now.

    I like the idea of Yasmani Grandal that Dave had in terms of acquiring a young catcher, but Cincinnati isn’t a surefire contender. But Romine from the Yankees? Hmmmm.

    The Yankees DO have Montero ahead of him and Gary Sanchez coming up, and he’s even higher regarded than Romine. Romine might be a VERY expendable piece to the Yankees.

    Given the Yankees behavior a few years back – stealing David Wells out from under a verbal agreement he had in place with the Diamondbacks – it would be rather hypocritical for them to hold what happened with Cliff Lee against us for very long.

    Montero 2, Mariners 2, in case you were wondering.

    It’s too bad the Sounders play until October as well…since, even though Fredy Montero has probably never picked up a baseball bat in his life, he’d probably still be an improvement to the M’s lineup.

    As for trying to swing deals with the Yanks, Z could always pull off a blockbuster and trade Felix for a boatload of prospects. He’s bound to wind up there sooner or later, anyway…so why not give him an early chance at the ring he’ll never get here?

    The Yankees don’t have a boatload of good prospects. I’m not really sure why the Yankees talk always comes up…their system is mediocre. That’s what happens when your draft picks are always low. A LOT of teams would give up a lot for Felix. Tampa comes to mind as a team that might have more to offer us.
