Read: Omar Willing To Trade Youth
In an article for the New York Times, Ben Shpigel writes that Omar Minaya is willing to trade away some of the organization’s young talent if he could acquire a potential ace in return.
Minaya as quoted by Shpigel:
“There’s no doubt that our premium prospects are very well-liked…We could be players in some of the trades this winter. The way that pitching is in this market, you’re going to have to part with some premium guys.”
…improving the pitching staff has to be omar’s primary focus this offseason, and he will likely have to trade away the likes of Lastings Milledge, Mike Pelfrey and/or Carlos Gomez to do so…however, i hope that omar will not make a trade just to make a trade - and so i don’t see him dealing any of the above names unless it is part of a package deal and for a bona fide ace, which there are few of on the market…
