Mariners Get: Mitch Moreland (1) ($.3M) Jorge Posada ($6.1M) David Robertson (2) ($.5M) Rockies 2011 Third Round Pick Cardinals 2011 Third Round Pick Andy Oliver (spect) Casey Crosby (spect) Ryan Strieby (spect) Robbie Weinhart (spect)
Tigers Get: Adrian Gonzalez ($5.5M) (6) Russell Martin ($1M) (6)
I accept. A-Gon is gone after this season and I'm playing for the future so I wanted to get as much as possible for him. This definitely topped my previous top offer for him.
I get a decent, young 1B to replace him. I expect Moreland to be a solid 1B or great UTIL player for years to come. Posada is a solid upgrade in the catching department and he should still hit between 15-20 homers this year. Big upgrade over the washed up Russell Martin. Robertson is a decent RP. Nothing special but he'll get holds and he strikes out a bunch of guys. The spects are what put it over the top for me though. Oliver and Crosby should both develop into MLB pitchers within the next 2 seasons and the other 2 spects I get could be useful as well. The 2 picks will add to my multitude of picks.

I accept. Trade a s*** load of good, young guys but I'm going for it all this year and once Wainwright went down I felt like I needed to gain another big star to get back on top. I'll take a championship this year even if it means gutting my farm system. Martin is certainly no Posada but he should be decent as a backup catcher.

Approve, but Tigers rocks Mariners.
Posada is a little better, but will retire after this year. Robertson is a 7th inning guy at best. Moreland is an 8 hitter, bad even in a good Texas lineup. Just a lot of unimportant pieces for a great 28-year-old first baseman that will soon sign a 7-year extension.

Just wondering, if Gonzalez signs an extension this season do I get his contract?
