Could the Red Sox get Mike Olt in a trade & play him at 1B? www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/11/braves-turned-down-simmons-for-olt-swap.htmlMy 3 team proposal: Texas Gets; Juston Upton & Ivan De Jesus Boston Gets; Mike Olt & Trevor Bauer Arizona Gets; Jose Iglesias, Martin Perez, Matt Barnes, Garrin Cecchini, Michael Young ( & Cash from Texas to cover difference in $$ for 2013 between Upton & Young ) Does it work? Edit: left off Young

It's wishful thinking that you're going to convince another team that Jose Iglesias is a major league starting shortstop when even a board full of Red Sox fans can't be convinced of that.

Love it, but I think the trade values are way off. Arizona seems to be getting ripped off. They are downgrading their #1 pitching prospect for an A ball pitcher and getting a lower level 3B prospect.
Reading the link it seems pretty obvious that the Rangers do not want to let go of Andrus (or Kingsler and Profar)

Wait a minute! Don't we already have a third baseman?
Unless you're planning to move WMB to another position, he's not exactly chopped liver.

Has he ever played 1st base before? It just doesn't make sense to trade for a young power hitting good glove 3rd baseman when you already have one!

Would a package of mid teir prospects and Olt net us one of Pittsburgh's or Seattle's pitching prospects?

Unless, of course, you're swallowing welovewally's package. Why wouldn't Texas just trade Olt to Seattle or Pittsburgh? It's been written that Phoenix is not enthralled with an Upton for Olt deal. And is there any information that Seattle is unhappy with Seager or PIT with Alvarez?

And is there any information that Seattle is unhappy with Seager or PIT with Alvarez? Pitt isnt happy with Alveraz an would love to add a good bat like Olt. Seattle just wants good offense so he'd do. Problem is what would it take to get Olt. My guess for us to get Olt, it would take a 3 team deal were the 3rd team gets back a prospect or two from us an sends the Rangers a player or prospect they want an we get back Olt.
