He still has three years of team control at a very affordable rate. Some team is going to convince themselves that he's not finished yet at 29 years old and make a better offer than a couple of fringy guys not even in the top-100 prospects.

 

I think they'd be pretty justified asking for Stroman actually. Both having previous success, both having absolute s*** years. Abreu with the better track record, Stroman cheaper. 4 years of control for Stro, 3 for Abreu. I'm not endorsing that move, but I'm pretty sure that's what the ask would be given the poor state of the team's farm.

 

I could see the White Sox asking for him, just not realistic though, I think. As a 1 for 1 the value isn't even close to equal imo. Would be interesting if we could get him for prospects though...how many contending teams are looking for a 1B/DH?

The same guy who wouldn't trade Hoffman for anyone. His valuations are a little bit off.

 

I said I wouldn't for an offensive player not named Trout. We needed pitching badly last season. Great pitching wins games for the most part. You have to build a TEAM, not just hope you can win 10-9 every game.

Eaton could be a great target if he's available. Gives us some insurance for the OF next year and beyond. Can adequately cover CF if anything happens to Pillar. Having a bit of a down-year, but he could easily bounce back.

I expect Josh Reddick to be a Blue Jay soon.

 

Jesus christ dude, give it a rest. You don't need to mention Josh Reddick 5 times a day in multiple threads.

Bryce Harper? Giancarlo Stanton? Kris Bryant?

 

lol, sorry

 

Don't think Harper was suggested he would have been the same as Trout. I said no on Stanton until I saw how he recovered from the HBP...I said no on Bryant because where was he going to play, this was when he was a 3B. Let's not muddy this thread...just go back and read the Hoffman...all the craziness is in there lol

Listen bro, look up the attrition rate on pitching prospects and get back to me

Man, just stretch out Jesse Chavez instead of trading for Cashner or really anyone rumored to be on the move. Mediocrity at its finest with some of the names rumored to be available.

But dude what if it happens. I got the whole Beatle Juice thing going on.

It definitely could happen, and might. I also like Josh Reddick, but I would rather just sign him in the offseason.

It was about trading him for the right piece if he was to be traded.

 

Well if i could get Kris Bryant for Hoffman, I'd make the trade then flip Bryant for Noah Syndergaard.

Maybe. But I suspect that at least a couple teams would wager more than Tellez and a shitbag that he doesn't.

O's are apparently looking at Hellickson... any ideas on what he might cost us?

 

With the thin pitching market, I suspect they could get someone comparable to Jon Harris, perhaps more.
