Other than the rumored Walker thing, i dont see where we fit in this.
Both players have the same service time and are super cheap. If the Pads think he can stick at catcher then he's certainly worth Myers. 20-30 homer catchers have a decent bit of value as well.
It isn't as lopsided as you might think. But again, it would be contingent on how the Pads view Gattis long term @ catcher. Hell, we reportedly asked for Ventura/Duffey from the Royals in exchange for Gattis, so we clearly think he holds quite a bit of value.

Why do I get the feeling we're going to be left at the altar? LOL

Lets hear some 3-way trade scenarios :-)
I don't see that happening either, I meant more that I certainly could see us being happy with such a return. Of course for both Myers and Walker to be involved that would take four teams being involved in the end rather than just three. However, I wouldn't rule us out yet as the third team involved in a three-team trade. It would make sense for us to target Myers, esp. if we cannot get someone like Walker from Seattle.
That said, I am not saying Justin Upton alone for our part would get such a deal done.
Here's the latest from Marc Topkin:
@TBTimes_Rays
Many questions about #Rays Myers deal, but no sense speculating yet on who ends up where w/out knowing if it's happening or how many teams
Why wouldn't SD just keep Myers though?
Per MLBTR:
DECEMBER 16, 12:02am: A big deal is in the works between San Diego and Tampa, but it will not go through until the morning at the earliest, Jim Bowden of ESPN.com tweets.
@JeffPassan
Sounds like one of the pieces in the proposed Wil Myers trade might be on the way to Washington, which has insinuated itself into the deal.
