Awful Carrasco Trade Ideas Thread

[thatoneguy]

We would EE say yes to a trade to the Indians?

 

Sarcasm detector broken.

With our reported $140 million payroll, you should probably prepare yourself for minor league signings and maybe a trade or two when it's all said and done.

 

Trade a bat for an arm. Tulo, Devon Travis, Joey or EE (if they will allow). We outscored every other team by more than a run a game, we could send a bat. Cleveland needs lumber. EE for Carrasco

Hutch, Travis, what would they net? LOL at the indians accepting that trade, you high?

*sigh*

 

EE doesn't even predict to be Carrasco next year (3.0 WAR vs 4.8 WAR) and Carrasco is cost controlled till 2020 where EE is a UFA. Why wouldn't they also just sign Chris Carter or Pedro Alvarez or both, may cost slightly more than EE's 10M, and platoon them and just keep Carrasco?

 

Its. Not. HAPPENING!!

This should be a new drinking game. Take a shot everytime someone says EE for Carrasco/Kluber/Salazar.

Bru, if we did that, I'd die of alcohol poisoning before spring training even started.

Can a few ppl weigh in on what it would a realistic offer be for Carrasco???

Pompey/Pillar + Osuna + SRF?

Ya, its not like we cant add pieces. Hence my naming of additional players.

Pompey/Pillar + Osuna + SRF?

 

Off-topic, but, I'm really interested to see what Atkins does with SRF now. He's the exact type of pitcher Atkins would make a development project for. A guy with nasty stuff that strikes out the world but can't control it yet.

[GD]

Pompey/Pillar + Osuna + SRF?

 

Two of Pillar/Osuna/Pompey + one of Alford/Pompey/SRF

[THANOS]

Two of Pillar/Osuna/Pompey + one of Alford/Pompey/SRF

 

More than enough reasons not to even try. At this point, I'd rather Atkins bring in his development crew, implement all his strategies and mechanisms, and see if he can turn SRF and Greene into Salazar/Carrasco/Kluber types. It will be interesting to see what he does with Sanchez as well.

Alford+Pompey+SRF gets Cleveland to the table.

If they turned down Norris/Hoffman/Pompey they aren't going to take any of these packages people keep posting. Jays just don't seem to have the prospects to make a deal. Even then I can't see Shapiro trading from the farm.

Is that the actual deal?

Apparently. They followed up, reportedly, by asking for Stroman+, at which point AA hung up.

Didn't someone here report that? BTS maybe? I could be mistaken.

I certainly didn't engage in any reporting lol

[burlingtonbandit]

Wasn't it Cincy who asked for Stroman for Cueto?

No that was a really dumb FanGraphs article where the writer suggested it would be worth it for the Jays to trade Stroman for Cueto.

Lol wasn't that Jeff Sullivan too? One of their better writers.

Cleveland's not going to accept Encarnacion as a main piece for a young, good controllable starter anyway. So just stop.
