The Padres are showing interest in free agent outfielder Jermaine Dye, a major league source said, but it appears that they would need to trade a veteran player in order to afford him. The most likely candidates to be moved would be closer Heath Bell or third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff. - Bob Scanlan Interview (MP3)

PADRES: Moorad wants All-Stars in San Diego
"I asked him, 'Why haven't you pushed the All-Star Game?' " Moorad said. "He said 'It's a great question. In fairness, I prioritized some of the protections that the MLB system now has in place ---- revenue sharing as an example. I prioritized some of those other areas over an above getting the All-Star Game.' He said 'To be fair, that's something we ought to work on together.' And we are." -

So we’re going to trade Heath or Kouz to get Jermaine Dye?

That guy's dumb
Dye’s a free agent, we don’t have to trade anyone.
We want to trade Bell and Kouz, there’s a difference.

Yeah, actually I take back my snarky comment.
One of those guys is probably getting traded regardless of who we’re trying to acquire in FA. It’s dumb to try to link the two transactions.

That man has old facts.
We’re also done purging payroll. It’s time to ratchet it back up a little. Well, it’s time to fill some holes, and you have to spend money to do that, right, gentlemen?

Right!
Yeah I think Dye could be had without getting rid of anybody. Although we should know for sure here pretty soon since the Arbitration players should be getting their salaries figured out here soon. February 1st is the hearings and hopefully we don’t have to go there for any of our players.

Although
I wouldn’t be upset if we got rid of Kouz.

Not exactly
In order to put dye someplace in the outfield we need to get rid of kouz to move headley out of left field. Otherwise we have headley-venable-dye. And that’s not good

Dye probably won't play the field
He’ll be the bat off the bench that Cliff Floyd was supposed to be.

That doesn't make sense
Assuming we move kouz and headley goes to third then unless you want dye to backup blanks-Gwynn-venable. And dye can only really backup lf – kinda like Oscar Salazar. But if it’s dye-venable-blanks you get good power fom the corners and a rapidly emerging all around player in the middle. You give up some on defense but increase power exponentially

No, you don't make sense
Jermaine Dye has played 9.1 innings of infield in his entire career. He can’t “only really backup If”
9.0 at 1B
0.1 at SS
You wouldn’t start Dye over any of the young guys in the OF.

Well that's why it doesn't make sense, then.
either way, Dye is seen as a poor defender in either field.

dumb dumb dumb
To get rid of anybody for Dye. They sure can loose lots of games with dye if they want to. If the FO does this, it says we have bad management in charge.

Don't think of it like we're getting rid of somebody to acquire Dye...
It’s more like, for example, we trade Kouz for a prospect or two who may be able to help us in the future. Because of the trade, we now have a little more payroll flexibility and can pursue a free agent that we might not have been otherwise able to afford — like Jermaine Dye.

If i had to give up a day i would give up mondays. there aren’t as many monday games

Adding Dye wouldn't be bad
as long as he came relatively cheaply. At the very least he’d be the DH during interleague and could take place in some kind of outfield rotation. The potential though for having the occasional OF lineup of headley/blanks, venable, dye is not terribly attractive defensively though. A kouz deal makes sense, not as much for the payroll space, but just to get headley out of the OF.
I’m sure Xavier Nady is more expensive, but at least you’d have more confidence in him in the field.
I like Nady as well

Why would we want to sign someone like Dye who is an absolute butcher with the glove?
