Their GM Leland French says he'd have to think about it, so most likely they'd want more. A possible not-hurting throw-in to get the deal done right away would be AAA 1B Mun-wah Tsung, who has no place to contribute anyway with Al Martin occupying first base. Tsung is still a year away from being able to cut it in the Bigs, and even then Martin would out-slug him.
Problem is, the Loggers only have $1M of budget space and the draft is next Sunday. So we'd have to get this done right now because next Monday will most likely be too late.
Aaah, gotta sleep over that one. Bean never delivered like he did for the Gold Sox, but he's a top 3 WAR pitcher in the CL right now. Isn't a 21-year old not-quite-but-almost-ready pitcher a bit on the short side for him? I'd think WE should be able to demand a second player. Maybe an outfielder able to out-hit his weight? Would give us three of the kind. Hiwalani-Fletcher-C.Ramirez is an elite trio, and they have Avery Johnson rotting on the bench, but we can't get the deal done for Amador AND Johnson anyway, since the trade would right now cost us an additional $2,600 and we are already overbudget, and the Loggers have not a dime of cash.
