David Price had better get ready to have bananas thrown at him.

Mariners apparently about to make a blockbuster trade for a young hitter.

No clue who, though.

The #Mariners are moving closer to a trade for a young impact hitter, two baseball sources confirmed.

Lets just say that guy was Harper... what would you want in return from the M's?

I'd say Ackley, so he can play 2B and leadoff, pushing Espinosa to SS.

And? Pineda? Obviously the deal doesn't look to make too much sense from the Nats perspective... but I'm interested in seeing who the young impact bat turns out to be!

The Mariners have moved closer to a trade that would net them a "young impact hitter," reports ESPN's Jerry Crasnick. A source calls the trade "significant" and says Brandon League is not part of the deal (both links via Twitter).

Who could the young impact hitter be?

Harper.

Heyman thinks it's the Yankees.

Harper.

I'm kind of hoping Desmond, Brendan Ryan sucks more than he does.

What part of impact bat matches Ian Desmond?

Kevrock · « **Reply #508:** January 13, 2012, 07:32:29 PM »

The bat part?

Kevrock · « **Reply #509:** January 13, 2012, 07:32:48 PM »

Montero seems the best bet that I've read.

I didn't say it was logical, it's more of a fantasy/prayer

Heyman tweets Seattle has a deal--maybe involving Pineda and Montero.

He would be a great pick up for the Mariners.

Giving up Pineda though. But Seattle needs the offense.

Holy freak. If that is the case, this may end up having the most potential long term impact of any trade in recent memory.

Seattle has arms to spare with Walker,Hultzen and Paxton.

They would probably be giving up an arm in return.

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #517:** January 13, 2012, 07:48:27 PM »

Official according to Heyman

Montero for Pineda.

zimm_da_kid · « **Reply #518:** January 13, 2012, 07:49:37 PM »

That's a steep price. Pineda is young, extremely talented and has 5 years of control left.

Very true. I wasn't that enamored with Pineda when the Nats faced him but he put up very good numbers in his rookie season. Should be a mainstay in Yankees rotation that needed another starter.

And Seattle gets impact young bat who also fills all important catcher position.

Bad news for us. Pineda will only make the minimum next season, so the Yankees can now go after Prince. I really hope Prince doesn't want to be a DH, because that might be the only thing to stop him from being a Yankee.

Is Seattle going to catch Montero? Because that will be funny.

Remember that A-Rod will move to DH considering how often injured he is. They want to keep DH open for him and move someone young to 3rd.
