Brandon Lauer

These guys cost me a bit to get, so they will not come cheap. Starting pitching is at a premium, and these are two pretty good ones. Both signed through next year. Lauer is cheap, Perez is well... not. But 9 mil isn't that terrible if you have the space to take it on.

I'm comfortable having both on my team come next season, so do not consider these salary dumps... its a feeler to see if a playoff contending team wants to spend a little to get a decent arm in their rotation for their playoff run.

Open to discussing trades for almost anyone but Lamas, Fortuna, Todd, Marceau, Cuevas, and most of my prospects.

[bjd2933]

And I am looking to get younger here... so mainly prospects. Preferably at the AAA or AA level... closer to MLB ready

[bjd2933]

Open to pretty much anything but Cuevas, Fortuna, Todd, and Marceau at this point. Lauer and Perez are still very much available.

Would you be willign to eat a contract to offset differences for Lauer?

[bjd2933]

On lauer, I'd eat some of the money. I still consider him relatively cheap. Perez I am willing to eat more money on because he is a costlier player. Depends on what the package is, I don't mind eating the money if I'm getting some young players that can help my team in a couple of seasons.

Im probably killing any hopes of getting him but I would need for you to eat either Moseley or Bevis' contract (both FA end of the year) and I likely wont part with Martinez or Chavarria (who should be getting his first shot soon).

[bjd2933]

If you want me to take moseley as a throw-in to some prospects to off-set the contract, I'd do it. I don't have the money for Bevis.

Take a look and see if you can find a package of guys you like for Lauer then and lets see if we cant find something that works.

[bjd2933]

I'll see if I can find something. I'd really like to move both he and perez before the deadline... if someone wants to go nuts and give me a lot for Lamas, I'll talk.

[bjd2933]

If any contenders want to discuss acquring Lamas for a playoff run, PM me... he will not come cheap. I have already sent a couple of PMs to teams I think could benefit from his beastly right arm.

[Kingdom]

I am going to send you a PM

[bjd2933]

I will deal Lamas by tomorrow... I have enough offers where I know what I'm taking. If anyone else wants to jump in, you have time.

Lauer, nothing really knocks me off my feet yet. I'm open to keeping him until next year. I don't want to trade him for the sake of trading him.

Did you look at what I could offer and what it would take for Lamas or Lauer?

[bjd2933]

Lauer still very much available, not much interest. It will take at least one top tier prospect to get him... he is having a very good year.

Perez will come cheaper.

Lamas and Egea also available for all your relief pitching needs... I'm waiting to hear back from a couple of people on Lamas... so he may be pending

[bjd2933]

Lamas is gone... egea, perez, lauer still available.
