I had posted earlier for Jedd Lowrie to Brewers for Corbin Burnes and Marcos Diplan

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Can I get some thoughts on a Chirinos/Swihart trade?

Boston is competing, Chirinos is playing pretty well. Swihart is rumored to be on the way out already, I'm starting a minor rebuild (hoping to have main prospects called up in 2-4 years for next wave of competing) and Swihart is a Texas boy.

We have 33M Surplus for Chirinos on the log and I think we all settled on 15-20M in surplus for Swihart. I think Boston values Swihart's age, so I could toss an extra 5M of surplus on Swihart for additional balance.

Is this a fair deal?

BOS - Robinson Chirinos
TEX - Blake Swihart | Travis Lakins

Ok, I'm fine with that, but you had previously said that he won't bring back a top 100 (Burnes is #60 on mlb.com).

Also, one of the responses to your original trade was that if the Brewers were trading Burnes, it'd be for a better 2B than Lowrie.

Sorry to jumble this thread up, just trying not to rip anyone off.

Thanks for the help!

Whoops. I suspect I got bamboozled by another prospect list update or used a different reference point. Griffin Canning update screwed my trade up earlier by a list update!

Phillips and Diplan would be fine then

I don't know if the Red Sox would want another catcher for Swihart. Didn't they just sign Vazquez?

Another other players you could move for Swihart?

Utility man for Swihart could work. He'll be DFA'd soon or later

More likely an arm or a meh prospect. We have Nunez and Holt for utility...no more please.

Vazquez is performing really poorly, that is why I was thinking it might be a good spot for Chirinos. But I can always find a different home for him. I have guys like Drew Robinson and Jurickson Profar. Selfishly, I'd like to hold on to Profar. I could also part with a reliever like Diekman. In terms of prospects, I could deal guys like Ibanez, Garay, Alberto or Marte.

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Using the Phillies right now and one area I see is to get a serviceable lefty reliever. Nothing fancy, but more of a guy that I can use versus tough lefties that won’t cost a ton. Basically, a lefty version of Tommy Hunter would be quite nice. Any reasonable suggestions?

Boone Logan could be attractive for you.

Here is what I'm looking at.

BOS - Diekman | Garay
TEX - Swihart | Cosart

MIN - Chirinos | Minor
TEX - Kirillof | Stewart | Stassi

You absolutely won't get Barretto for that sad grouping of players

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Fulmer for Robles and Soto? Do I essentially just have my pick of 2-3 top prospects with Fulmer?

That might be better than Sale got. I think you set your sights a bit high
