... for asking double.  Last rumor was that they indeed wanted Taijuan plus two relatively impact prospects, just for Price.
Taijuan alone for Price would be a very tough call, but the Rays .... I'd rather deal with 28 other teams, probably.  But to answer your question, if Taijuan + Franklin (and unimportant low-minors names) would get you Price + Zobrist ... and you felt confident in extending Price ... and the Committee would give Zobrist a fair mutual option for 2016 ... sure, I'd work something around that situation.

Trading for Price, Zobrist and Willingham (? Quentin, whoever) is preposterous in Seattle, but it wouldn't be for other ownerships, in large-market cities with $90M payrolls and new TV deals.

That said, as good as Price is, I'd probably call 28 other teams and figure something else out.  They're too weird for me.  Hope their delusions don't apply to Zobrist.
