Here is a trade idea... (involving Yu Darvish)

[Harold Hutchison]

Brewers get: RHP Yu Darvish, IF Sho Nakata

Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters get: OF/2B Hernan Irribarren, IF Yohannis Perez, 1B Stephen Chapman

 

Thoughts?

 

EDIT: I don't think there is anything that says the Brewers can't make a trade with a Japanese team.

 

Edit: Added clarity to title.

Clancy, why would the Japanese leagues give up their best pitcher for 3 players best called minor league fodder. At least Brad Nelson would likely hit well

[ILuvDaBush]

When Yu Darvish is posted, his fee will likely surpass Daisuke's $51.1mil fee, so I'm thinking it would have to begin with Prince Fielder for them to give a thought about a straight-up trade. (And I still say NO to trading the Regal One)

The Ham Fighters already have 4 foreign players, and would have to get rid of both foreign position players and one pitcher to be able to add three new foreigners.

why not send them Bill Hill too, they couldnt possibly turn down a deal for Hill.

Thoughts?

well, i think it would work out great for the brewers, but i'm pretty sure MLB teams can't trade with japanese teams, actually i'm positive they can't.

 

I'd also expect his posting fee to hit something like $75 million. Condsidering he'll likely get you more than the 6 innings Dice-K gets the red sox on average.

 

[Invader3K]

I'm pretty sure the player's union prohibits MLB teams from trading players to a foreign league.

[Bankjob]

I would send Russell Branyan. He could be bigger than Godzilla over there.

 

By the way, watch some video on Darvish if you have not heard of him, the guy is seriousely impressive...reminds me of Tim Lincecum.

The nation of Japan actually owes us Darvish as reparations for Takahito Nomura.

Japan has already paid the debt by Dave Nilsoon ?AVG180 with 18 Games only?.

By the way, Nomura is in prison now for drug dealing.

Well he definitely couldn't deal on the mound, so at least he figured something out.
