2007 Oakland A's Trade Block

[Providence A's]

1B 2.5 Dan Johnson

He's only 27 and makes the league minimum. He could be eligible for arbitration after this season. 8,6,9,8,6 out of 8,7,9,9,7 ratings. I'm looking to move him to make way for Barton.

LF/RF/1B 2.5 Nick Swisher

He's also only 27 making the league minimum. He could be eligible for arbitration after this season. 6,8,8,10,5 out of 6,9,9,10,5 ratings. He won the Gold Glove in LF last season and plays great D at all 3 of his positions.

SP 2.0 Esteban Loaiza

7,7,7,9 signed at $7.125 through 2008. He wouldn't take much at all.

CF 2.5 Mark Kotsay

8,8,6,5,8 signed at $7.33 mil through 2008. Plays great defense with above average speed.

PM offers and for discussion.

[DiamondDave]

Definite interest in either Harden or Haren
I could really use Kotsay
I have some interest in Chavez....

and of ones not on your list, I have interest in MR Jay Marshall

I have a LOT of things available on the trade block

[Providence A's]

feel free to PM an offer. To be honest, I don't see anything on your block that would make me want to move Haren or Harden...or even Chavez. If you're willing to talk about other prospects as far as Haren or Harden, then maybe...but otherwise no.

I'm not sure what I'm looking for regarding Kotsay...as I said, feel free to make an offer.

[BrianDawkins]

would mark teixeira be of any interest in a potential deal for rich harden?

[Providence A's]

he is of interest, but I'm not sure if I want to deal him within the division...

[browntown653]

One of the few players I would give up Brent Brewer for is Haren

[Providence A's]

make an offer then...it would take more than Brewer to get Haren.

[browntown653]

I realize that, gimme a second

[Porter]

I would have interest in Kennedy.

[Providence A's]

I like OF Jeremy Reed and MR Bibens-Dirkx

[Porter]

I think we can make it work. Send a PM.

[Halladay_is_God]

I have a lot of interest in Harden, basically my whole team is available except Halladay.

[OrioleMagic]

I've got a deal in place for Haren that I'm close to accepting...if anyone else is interested, then PM me tonight otherwise I think I'll be taking it.

I'm still looking to move the other guys. Harden is ripe for the taking.

You drive a hard bargain. I'll agree to your terms. Harden is off the Oakland block. I am partially sad and partially happy, but I guess that is a sign of a good trade.

[Providence A's]

Well, you were very tough in the negotiations as well...I feel the same way (sad and happy). Harden is very tough to let go...and I'm glad he is headed to the NL. I think it's good for both sides and it met my needs...the only reason I was willing to move him is because I won with this core in this league before the file got corrupt.

how about Chavez? Lets finish our talks.
