    I don’t mind trading lagares as he is my fifth outfielder at the moment. However do you think they would want lagares as he is 29 and has 3 years and 25 million left on his deal. With the marlins rebuilding I think they would like prospects instead. If lagares is my best shot I can do what highcmppct said and do lagares, molina and possibly more since it’s trading within the division.

      If you have to give more than Lagares and Molina I would go ahead and start trying to find other options, cause he's not worth overpaying with prospects for.

      Have you thought about maybe Nate Jones from the White Sox?

        Nate Jones seems like a good option possibly. What would it take to get him? IRL it looks like there is 3 additional option Years on his contract so is seems like White Sox would want a somewhat decent return for him. I have no problem overpaying in any deal. I just don’t want to rip off the CPU in any deal

          In a game atm let me look and I'll see what I think but don't take that as gospel lol.

          What roster are you using?

                Well after some looking up both online and in game here's what I got.

                First off he's coming off his 2nd major surgery, it's signaling he could have lingering back/arm problems. Plus the Sox don't really have a need for a closer which is basically what he is now after their selling of players. That coupled with I don't see them wanting to pay him 4mil a year for the next 2 years during a rebuild.

                All that being said the upside he can show when healthy is still there and speaks fairly loudly.

                So I'm thinking maybe just 2 decent prospects as he has the upside to net young players, but you much injury history to net top guys.

                So maybe something like:

                NYM:
                Nate Jones

                CWS:
                Luis Guillorme
                Anthony Kay
                And possibly Jacob Rahme (if you still feel they might need more)

                  I can't even have all the OFs I want in my major league roster haha. But seriously I don't see the yanks wanting to spend to get another OF we have way too many options already (Judge, Stanton, Gardner, Hicks, Ellsbury, Frazier)

                  I don't think New York is really that interested in this right now, but if they were you would have to take at least one contract off them and that doesn't help your rebuild.

                  But short answer I don't see the Yanks doing this, every team would be interested in a good player like Marte but doesn't seem like a good move for them.

                  I would say try perhaps SF? Maybe CLE or possibly even TOR?

                      Continuing with my SF rebuild, what is Mark Melancon’s value? When I do the formula he seems to be either even, or a little bit of a negative Surplus.

                      Want to see what the experts think.

                        Probably not the news you were hoping for but I'm getting -15.6 Mill Surplus for Melancon. Last year really hurt him. Dealing him is more like a salary dump which typically isn't a very good thing for older pitchers. The best you're doing is dealing him with a mid-lotto pick for a low-lotto pick. I'm not sure I can offer up a team that would be interested without taking a real deep look at each team's roster. Your best bet is hoping he has a relatively decent first half of the season and dealing him to whichever team is most reliever needy at the break.

                          Ouch, more of a negative surplus than I was thinking, but good to know none the less thanks. I think you are right and I will just have to hold onto him till closer to the break and see if anyone needs a reliever. I moved Hunter Strickland into the CP so Mark is an expensive paperweight for me right now with no upside.

                          Like you said, last year and his current salary is not helping me out.

                            Every team seems to have a guy or two like that. Fortunately one of yours is a reliever who can be easier to move than other positions. You could always consider taking a bad contract in return but that doesn't to be the motive.

                              Thanks this seems like a fair trade that looks good on both sides. I’ll probably wait until the deadline to see Jones’ stats and determine if I should add Rhame.
                              Also do you have any suggestion on any other RP that might be good targets? I don’t trust the bullpen besides Blevins and familia

                                Is age a factor or would you be fine with some 1-year options?
